Senior Program Scheduler
About The Position
Saronic Technologies is seeking a Senior Scheduler to lead the development, maintenance, and adoption of integrated master schedules (IMS) across programs, products, and development efforts. These schedules inform Production, Software, Engineering, and Mission Services teams so they can plan and allocate resources effectively. The role supports the entire Programs Group and leads company-wide integration and adoption of Microsoft Project and Primavera P6, while advancing scheduling competency and training across teams. Working with tools developers, the Senior Program Scheduler creates executive dashboards and Palantir-based reports that provide an aggregated, fully loaded view of schedules across programs, with the ability to examine individual program schedules, resources, and dependencies. This information supports understanding labor and product demand and helps Program Managers reconcile internal capacity and roadmaps with customer timelines. The position requires direct engagement with stakeholders across Saronic to clarify timelines, resources, and execution blockers. It applies industry-standard scheduling practices, critical-path and schedule-risk analysis, and rigorous scheduling discipline in a fast-paced environment developing autonomous platforms.
