About SoloPulse 

SoloPulse is a DARPA-funded Georgia Tech spin-out and non-traditional defense contractor (NTDC). We leverage advanced wave theory rooted in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) to transform low-cost RF hardware into tactical-grade intelligence tools. Our product line includes SIGMA™ (Electronic Support), NOVA™ (SAR imaging), and ATHENA™ (AI orchestration), providing high-fidelity sensing at the tactical edge. 

The Role

Key Responsibilities 

  • PMP Generation: Develop and maintain comprehensive Project Management Plans for each project based on contractual SOWs and dialogue with the leadership team. 

  • Accountability Management: Use the PMP as the single source of truth to provide objective evidence of plan/resource divergence, replacing "finger-pointing" with plan-based metrics. 

  • Matrix Coordination: Partner with the Engineering Manager to secure and align technical resources for project execution. 

  • Technical Qualification: Work with the engineering team to qualify progress and provide the CPO with an accurate, "no-ignorance" view of product readiness. 

  • Operational Stewardship: Ensure hardware and software design choices prioritize operational utility and relevant requirements for the warfighter. 

  • IP Protection: Collaborate with the CTO to document technical advancements in a way that protects SoloPulse’s long-term Intellectual Property.

    • Compliance: Expert understanding of ITAR/EAR regulations and defense-specific documentation standards. 

    Technical & Operational Literacy 

    • RF Systems: Functional understanding of RF systems. 

    • Hardware Deployment: Familiarity with the mechanical engineering rigors of moving lab prototypes into tactical environments. 

    • Documentation Rigor: Mastery in turning complex contract requirements into execution-ready PMPs using tools like Jira, MS Project, or Azure DevOps. 

    Leadership in the Matrix 

    • Influence without Authority: Ability to lead cross-functional engineering teams that do not report directly to you. 

    • Risk Mitigation: Experience identifying resourcing gaps and technical debt before they impact customer relationships. 

    • Communication: Ability to present clear, data-driven progress reports horizontally to peers and upward to the C-suite.
