Project Coordinator

Job Area:

Denied Operations Division > GNSS-Denied

Domain:

Program Management and Operations

What the Role Offers

Exposure to the development and delivery of advanced engineering and GNSS-denied systems projects within the UAV domain is provided.

Comprehensive experience across the project lifecycle - from planning and procurement to integration, testing, and delivery - is gained through cross-functional collaboration with engineering, sourcing, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, finance, and leadership teams.

About the Role

Within the Denied Operations Division, the Project Coordinator role acts as the central coordination point for the GNSS-Denied systems team, bridging complex hardware, software, and operational workstreams. This position involves more than task tracking; project rhythms are orchestrated, bottlenecks are proactively identified, dependencies are managed, and technical decisions and action items are driven to successful resolution. In high-stakes, multidisciplinary environments, complex project landscapes are transformed into clear, actionable progress, directly influencing the delivery of mission-critical technology.

Key Responsibilities

Project calendars, reviews, sprint planning, and technical meetings are coordinated. Meeting minutes, decisions, and action items are captured and tracked through to closure.

Tasks, deliverables, dependencies, and milestones across hardware, software, and operations are monitored. JIRA boards are maintained, and delays, bottlenecks, and risks are flagged to leadership.

Project status reports, presentations, and executive briefing materials are prepared to support project leadership.

Purchase Requests are raised; follow-ups on Purchase Orders, payments, long-lead items, and material deliveries are conducted with sourcing, supply chain, and finance.

Gate passes, e-Way Bills, and material movement are coordinated; daily administrative and logistical blockers are resolved.

Stakeholder communications and workflow handoffs across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, quality, and leadership are coordinated.

Project documentation repositories are maintained to ensure that design files, review records, test logs, and compliance documents adhere to version control and quality processes.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business administration, operations, project management, or a related discipline

At least 2 years of experience in project coordination, engineering operations, or a similar role involving multidisciplinary teams
