Voyager is an innovative defense, national security, and space technology company committed to advancing and delivering transformative, mission-critical solutions. We tackle the most complex challenges to unlock new frontiers for human progress, fortify national security, and protect critical assets, leading in the race for technological and operational superiority from the ground to space.

Forge the Future: Join Voyager Technologies

The future belongs to those who build it. At Voyager Technologies, we’re building technologies that protect lives, expand frontiers, and prepare us for what’s next. And we’re doing that with people who are wired to solve, build, adapt, and lead. These roles are not for the faint of heart.

You’ll help lay the foundation for humanity's future. Join a culture where innovation thrives, curiosity is rewarded, and impact is real. We’re a company of doers, thinkers, and builders, united by purpose and grounded in reality.

If you want to put your skills to work where the stakes are real and the mission is bigger than any one person, forge the future with Voyager.

The Executive Vice President, Engineering for Space, Defense, & National Security is responsible for leading and scaling the engineering organization to deliver high-quality, reliable products aligned with business goals and growth priorities.

The position reports to the President, Space, Defense & National Security and is based in the Long Beach, CA OR Denver Metro Area, CO area. This role is onsite.

Most engineering leaders inherit an organization.

You’ll invent one.

Right now, thousands of Voyager engineers are building things the country needs and the industry has never moved fast enough to deliver:

Propulsion and electronics at scale, built to put real combat capability in the field for missile defense and Golden Dome
Advanced weapon systems that protect warfighters and allies
Lunar landers that carry NASA and commercial payloads to the surface of the Moon, with the Griffin program carrying the Astrobotic heritage
Commercial LEO destinations, the stations where humanity will work, research, and manufacture in orbit
Cislunar and Lagrange-point infrastructure, the next layer of habitats and logistics beyond Earth orbit
Space-qualified systems and payloads with flight heritage on the most demanding platforms humans have built

That’s the portfolio today.

Now add what’s coming: new acquisitions. International operations. Allied partnerships. New domains and new customers. Every one of them needs an engineering backbone that doesn’t exist yet. You decide what it looks like, and then you build it.

THE PROBLEM WE’RE HIRING YOU TO SOLVE

Aerospace and defense takes years to go from idea to hardware. The country doesn’t have years.

We want days. Weeks.

That means a different kind of organization. It isn’t a rigid hierarchy or a matrix of dotted lines and committees. It’s a living network of engineers, wired together by AI, where a thought becomes a design, a design becomes a test article, and a test article becomes delivered hardware without the friction that has defined this industry for sixty years.

Nobody in aerospace and defense has built this. That’s the point.

WHAT YOU GET

Real autonomy. You’re not implementing someone else’s org chart. You’re drawing it.
Real resources. We’re backing this because the nation needs it, not because it’s a pilot program.
Real scale. Thousands of engineers, multiple sites, and the most consequential programs in the portfolio.
Real runway. Acquisitions and international expansion mean the org you build on day one is the foundation for what we become.
A direct line to the top. You report to the President of Space, Defense & National Security. Decisions get made, not routed.

WHO WE WANT

We’re not looking for someone who wants to manage a big engineering organization.

We’re looking for someone who can’t stop thinking about what one should look like.

You are dynamic, with depth across many technologies. You are a self-motivator with real business acumen. You love the technology, and you love what it does for people: protecting lives, extending humanity’s reach, and moving mankind forward faster than ever. You question everything. You set precedent instead of following it.
