About Us :

At Quartermaster AI, we believe the ocean should be a safe and sustainably managed resource for all. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and robotics, we unlock capabilities that were only recently impossible. Our distributed open‑ocean systems enable every vessel to sense, compute, and communicate, enhancing maritime domain awareness for those who need it most.

We’re a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary engineering team spanning software, RF, AI / ML, mechanical design, networking, and cybersecurity, and beyond. Our systems operate in the real world : heat, vibration, rain, corrosion, with the unpredictability of the sea. You’ll help take complex multi‑faceted engineering problems and guide them to successful and on‑time delivery.

Job Description

We’re seeking an Engineering Program Manager to help organize and apply execution discipline to Quartermaster’s engineering efforts. You will set up program schedules / Gantt charts, map dependencies, work with individual engineers to break projects down into tasks, and ensure our eng org progresses toward milestones without surprises. In this role you will have a large impact on the efficacy and efficiency of our engineering operations.

  • Qualifications (preferred) :

  • 8+ years in engineering program management , technical program management , or a similar role coordinating technical execution.
  • Experience leading multi‑disciplinary engineering programs ideally including at least two of the following : hardware, firmware, networking, embedded systems, mechanical design, ML / AI, or field deployments.
  • Familiarity with maritime, aerospace, robotics, ruggedized hardware systems, startups or product development work environments.
  • Ability to create detailed Gantt charts, program schedules, and structured execution plans.
  • Excellent communication skills; able to work across technical and non‑technical teams and keep information flowing cleanly.
  • Comfort with JIRA / Confluence (or similar tools), Gantt charts, and engineering documentation workflows.
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers or field deployment teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience coordinating multi‑disciplinary engineering programs.
  • Benefits
