The Role We are seeking an experienced and highly capable Technical Project Manager to support our expanding portfolio of digital transformation and AI initiatives. Reporting directly to the VP of Digital Transformation, you will manage high-impact projects for key accounts, including the USDA, NASA, and major commercial industrial clients.
This is a unique hybrid role designed for an experienced engineer looking to broaden their skillset and managerial experience. While the majority of your day-to-day responsibilities will focus on project management, client relations, and strategic oversight, you will also have the opportunity to make meaningful individual contributions.

- Methodology: Strong expertise in Agile/Scrum methodologies and modern software development lifecycles (SDLC).
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between deeply technical teams and executive-level stakeholders.
