About the role
We are seeking a Spacecraft Program Scheduler who will own and maintain the integrated program schedule for assigned spacecraft programs, serving as the authoritative source for schedule performance, critical path analysis, and schedule risk throughout the program lifecycle. Working within a lean, fast-moving team, the Scheduler will build and maintain Microsoft Project-based Integrated Master Schedules that span the full program lifecycle — from program start and system requirements review (SRR) through preliminary design review (PDR), critical design review (CDR), assembly, integration and test (AIT), and launch campaign. The Scheduler will translate engineering and manufacturing inputs into a logical, resource-informed schedule that reflects the true plan of record. This is a high-visibility role in a growing company at a critical phase of its development. The right candidate brings deep knowledge of space program scheduling requirements, a hands-on approach to Microsoft Project, and the communication skills to translate schedule data into clear, actionable information for engineers, executives, and government customers alike. The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Quantum Space's total compensation package.
