This arrangement encourages brainstorming, problem-solving, and the development of trusted relationships, enabling our employees to come together three days a week to collaborate, innovate, and excel.

User Terminal Program Manager

This role involves joining the existing User Terminal development team, which collaborates with external technology vendors to provide user terminal solutions for Telesat. Reporting to the Director of User Terminal Program Management, this position focuses on the development of user terminals tailored for various market segments considered by Telesat.

The ideal candidate will be a skilled program manager with a proven track record in the development of satellite user terminal technologies, as well as experience in the manufacturing, delivery, and installation of satellite user terminal products. The User Terminal Program Manager will act as a central point of contact, requiring a collaborative team player comfortable working within a multi-functional organization that includes engineering, program management, business development, and sales.

Main Responsibilities
  1. Oversee the planning and execution of multiple vendor programs, managing scope (contract, statement-of-work, work-breakdown-structure, monthly executive reporting), schedule, milestones, risks, opportunities, and budget.
  2. Manage User Terminal programs, including flat panel antennas, and report on their progress.
  3. Ensure accurate tracking and reporting of both internal and external vendor development, identifying risks and challenges for the overall Lightspeed program.
  4. Collaborate closely with product, program, engineering, and commercial teams to understand User Terminal requirements and ensure timely and budget-compliant vendor deliveries.
  5. Work with Telesat's engineering, legal, and contracts teams to assist in the preparation of partnership, development, and supply agreements with selected vendors.
  6. Develop and execute program initiatives for the Telesat Lightspeed constellation in close coordination with commercial and services teams.
  7. Create necessary documentation for effective management and execution of User Terminal programs in collaboration with technical experts in the engineering team, including dashboards.
  8. Evaluate vendor development progress and prepare program inputs for presentations to inform Lightspeed leadership about highlights, challenges, and future plans.
  9. Collaborate with suppliers to develop design-to-cost initiatives to meet target unit production costs for user terminals.
Education & Experience Required
  1. Bachelor's degree in engineering or a relevant discipline with a focus on communication systems or satellite terminals.
  2. A minimum of 6 years of program management experience in a STEM field, with at least 2 years in the satellite communications sector.
  3. A Master's degree or MBA is advantageous.
  4. Extensive experience managing multiple concurrent and interdependent projects.
  5. Strong proficiency in project management tools, including Microsoft Project or similar scheduling software (e.g., Primavera Cloud, Primavera P6, Jira).
  6. General knowledge of modem, RF, electronics, and antenna technologies.
  7. Experience addressing business considerations and practical limitations related to system design and implementation.
  8. Experience working with external vendors, including design and manufacturing facilities.
  9. Ability to prioritize opportunities, needs, and resources effectively.
  10. PMP Certification is a plus.
  11. Fluency in English, both written and oral.
Decision Making & Supervision

This role involves making decisions regarding task priorities while leading external vendor designs. The candidate should be self-motivated and driven to complete diverse tasks. The ability to work effectively with a diverse team spread across different locations is essential. Candidates must be able to articulate technical solutions in a clear, concise, and accurate manner, and must be capable of executing in ambiguous situations while making sound decisions.

Supervision Exercised

This position does not have direct reports but is expected to lead multi-disciplinary project teams and provide technical assistance or guidance to other engineers or specialists. Supervision of suppliers and contractors during supplier-facing activities is also required.

Working Conditions

This position is based out of Telesat's office. It may involve full-time office work or a hybrid model, depending on work needs. Working conditions are generally comfortable and typical of an office environment. Occasional travel, including international travel, may be necessary. Candidates must be able to obtain relevant security clearance.
