Senior Technical Program Manager, Maritime App

The Maritime Application Team sits at the tip of the spear, transforming core platform technology into mission-winning capabilities that deliver a decisive operational edge at sea. We are a specialized software team embedded within the core Lattice Platform, uniquely positioned to accelerate the delivery of mission-critical capabilities for maritime platforms such as the Dive-LD, Dive-XL, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry. Our role is to take powerful platform primitives—like data management, mission autonomy, simulation, auth, and orchestration—and rapidly forge them into integrated, robust applications for autonomous maritime systems. We act as an incubator for future platform features, ensuring that the solutions we build for today's contracts are the foundation for tomorrow's platform-wide advancements. If you are passionate about building high-impact software that directly supports operators in the field while shaping a next-generation platform, this is your team.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will be the critical force multiplier for our maritime application engineering organization. You’ll operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and business operations, taking ownership of our most complex and mission-critical initiatives. This isn’t just about tracking timelines and milestones, it’s about providing strategic direction, clearing roadblocks, and ensuring our cross-functional teams are aligned and executing like a well oiled machine to turn out ambitious goals into reality.
