Original job description

Who We Are:

Aurelius Systems is a VC backed defense tech startup building autonomous, edge deployed directed energy systems for counter-UAS. We build laser weapons to shoot down drones.

We're a small team of engineers, former US military operators, and subject matter experts scaling America's directed energy dominance. The first cost effective, reliable and robust laser weapon system.

Our namesake isn't an accident. Marcus Aurelius wrote about doing the work in front of you, every day, without excuses. Henry Ford didn't wait for permission to reinvent manufacturing. That's how we operate, small team, unreasonable output, no hiding behind the unachievable.

In addition to our San Francisco lab, we've opened a Detroit manufacturing hub and we field test weekly on our own 400-acre private range.

The Role and Your Impact:

We need a Senior Manager, Programs to lead customer engagement and execution across our growing portfolio of government and industry programs. Reporting directly to the Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), you will own commitments from award through demonstration, delivery, and operational fielding. You understand defense acquisition, build trusted customer relationships, and turn complex requirements into executable plans.

You will serve as the primary day-to-day interface for assigned customers and partners, coordinating engineering, operations, supply chain, and leadership to deliver on cost, schedule, scope, and contractual commitments.

What You'll Own:

Customer relationships and program leadership across government and industry programs, including reviews, planning meetings, and execution updates
Program schedules, milestones, budgets, deliverables, resource plans, and risk management across multiple concurrent efforts
Cross-functional execution with engineering, operations, supply chain, and external partners from development through delivery
Early identification of program risks, corrective actions, customer issues, and decisions requiring executive attention
Planning and execution of government demonstrations, test events, operational assessments, and customer deployments
Customer expectations, contract requirements, scope changes, cost-to-complete estimates, and resource forecasts
Clear, timely program reporting, accountability for commitments, and practical program management processes
Support for proposals, follow-on opportunities, and transitions from demonstrations to production and fielding

What We're Looking For:

7+ years in defense program management, government acquisition, military program execution, or defense industry operations
Experience in a customer-facing program management, government acquisition, or comparable leadership role
Demonstrated success managing complex programs with multiple stakeholders, budgets, schedules, and deliverables
Strong understanding of Department of Defense organizations, acquisition processes, and government-industry relationships
Ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and manage competing priorities while maintaining customer trust
Technical aptitude to collaborate effectively with engineering teams, paired with excellent written and verbal communication

Where you probably come from: military, government program management, defense acquisition, or defense industry program management.

We want to talk if: You have owned customer relationships and delivered complex defense programs from award through demonstration, delivery, or fielding.

Not a fit if: You prefer internal coordination over direct customer ownership or cannot independently drive execution across competing priorities.

Nice to Haves:

Experience with counter-UAS, directed energy, air defense, or related defense technologies
Experience with Other Transaction agreements, FAR-based contracts, or DoD rapid acquisition pathways
Experience with defense technology development, prototyping, demonstrations, or rapid fielding
Experience in an early-stage or growth-stage defense technology company
Active U.S. security clearance; eligibility to obtain and maintain a clearance and willingness to travel to government sites and test events

Education:

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant military, government, or industry experience. Demonstrated program execution matters more than credentials alone.

How You Operate:

Take ownership of customer commitments and move quickly to resolve issues
Anticipate program risks and readiness gaps before they affect customers or test events
Operate comfortably with ambiguity and fast iteration in a growing defense technology company
Make sound decisions using program facts, cost and schedule data, and customer priorities
Communicate clearly with customers, engineering, operations, partners, and executive leadership
Work independently, escalate decisions when needed, and drive execution without waiting for direction

Why Join Aurelius Systems:

Deliver capabilities that matter. Help move high-energy laser systems from demonstrations to operational fielding.
Own meaningful programs directly, with access to the Chief Strategy Officer and company leadership.
Help solve an urgent defense challenge: affordable, scalable counter-UAS protection for U.S. and allied forces.
Help establish the program execution foundation of a growing defense technology company.

How We Work:

Core hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 6. When we're sprinting toward a demo or field test, the team ramps up, nights, weekends, whatever it takes to ship. When the sprint lands, we ramp down. We don't manufacture intensity for show.

Benefits:

Competitive salary + equity
United Health Care medical, dental, and vision coverage
18 days PTO, flexible sick days, and two-week winter break to support rest, recovery, and personal needs.
Real ownership over your work

Export Control Notice:

This role requires access to export-controlled information or items that require "U.S. Person" status. As defined by U.S. law, individuals who are any one of the following are considered to be a "U.S. Person": (1) U.S. citizens, (2) legal permanent residents (a.k.a. green card holders), and (3) certain protected classes of asylees and refugees, as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).
