About the role

ABOUT MATTER INTELLIGENCE Welcome to Matter, where we are building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model that will be the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. This system doesn't just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this Superintelligent Vision. Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems. ABOUT THE ROLE Program Planning and Analysis is a branch of Program Management that relies on engineering and science as well as business and management grounding. As a master planner and business data analyst at Matter, you will have insight into every aspect of Matter’s work, from instrument engineering, research and development, facility and resource planning, data analysis, machine learning and the construction of Matter’s superintelligent vision ecosystem. You will not need to be an expert in all or any of these areas, but familiarity will be extremely valuable, and you will be crucial in helping our team organize, plan and execute their work. You will work closely with program management and team members, maintaining the Matter Integrated Master Schedule, establishing / maintaining traceability to lower-level scheduling and planning tools used by team members, assist engineers and scientists in organizing and planning their work, and help create and use data analytics tools to measure and report on team execution and performance. You will also assist the program management team in creating, reviewing and analyzing other data sets relevant to the performance and execution of Matter’s work, which may include MRP/material requirements planning and supply chain, product development plans and reports, and budgeting, cost, and schedule performance, both internally and with input from vendors. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES MASTER SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE - Work with Matter's motivated and collaborative teams to guide them on best practices for organizing, planning, executing, and reporting on scheduled work - Update and maintain Matter’s Integrated Master Schedule with team members, team leads, and vendors - Apply best scheduling practices including performance of logic reviews, duration reviews, health checks, cost/schedule integration (as applicable), schedule risk analysis, and baseline management - Maintain traceability to lower level schedules in a variety of tools, exercising judgment on how to summarize lower level plans while still accurately tracking and reporting task progress - Participate in regular all-hands meetings and technology progress briefings to stay current with Matter's rapidly maturing products. SCHEDULE PERFORMANCE REPORTING PRODUCTS - Assist in the creation of, and maintain a comprehensive reporting suite for schedule execution and performance, with reporting on a biweekly and monthly basis to internal stakeholders and leadership - Provide team members and team leads custom reports, as requested, to assist in the management and execution of that team’s tasks OTHER BUSINESS ANALYSIS PRODUCTS - Under the direction of program management, team leads, or other stakeholders, create and maintain analysis products for business artifacts not directly related to the Integrated Master Schedule, including but not limited to vendor cost performance, team resource planning, order tracking and supply chain reporting, procurement and purchase order tracking, and tactical level task tracking QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED - Bachelor’s in engineering or science discipline, business management and administration with focus on engineering or planning, construction management, or equivalent practical experience. - Typically 5+ years of relevant exp
