The VP, Advanced Technology Commercialization for Technology Advanced Development is responsible for transitioning Voyager’s advanced technology capabilities into market-ready products and commercial opportunities. This role serves as the primary conduit between the Advanced Technology Development group and Voyager’s operating business lines—bridging the gap between novel technical capabilities and the products, platforms, and services that generate business value.

This is a commercialization and product strategy role. The right person works side-by-side with advanced engineering teams to shape emerging capabilities into products customers want to buy, while simultaneously identifying and pursuing the external market opportunities that those products can address. Success is measured in new revenue, new market entry, and the velocity at which Voyager’s most advanced capabilities become deployable, monetizable offerings.

We are looking for a leader who moves fluidly between deep technical teams and external customers, builds trust with both engineers and business executives, and brings founder-like judgment to opportunity selection and commercialization execution inside a complex aerospace and defense company. This is a high-leverage, high-autonomy role with direct impact on Voyager’s strategic direction and enterprise value.

The position reports to theChief Technology Officer and is part of the Technology Advanced Development based in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, CA, or Seattle, WA. This role operates under a hybrid work model, combining both in-office and remote work.

In this role, the essential functions are:

Identify and Shape Commercialization Opportunities: Evaluate the external market potential of novel capabilities developed within the Advanced Technology Development group. You will determine when a capability should remain internal, when it should be embedded into existing offerings, and when it should become a standalone product, platform service, licensed technology, or new business line.

Foment Product Development with Engineering Teams: Work directly alongside advanced engineering teams to translate novel technologies and early-stage capabilities into defined, buildable products. You will establish product requirements, define the customer use case, set scope boundaries, and maintain the roadmap from prototype to commercial-grade offering—serving as the product leadership layer for advanced engineering teams.

Build a Commercialization Pipeline: Create the process for moving emerging capabilities from concept to commercial launch. You will define how Voyager identifies and prioritizes external opportunities, develops business cases, validates willingness to pay, launches pilots, and scales successful offerings—making commercialization systematic rather than ad hoc.

Drive Build / Partner / Buy / Monetize Decisions: Help Voyager make disciplined investment choices across the technology portfolio. You will determine when Voyager should build internally because the capability is strategically differentiating, partner for speed or distribution, buy to close a gap, or stop work because the external business case is weak.

Develop Business Cases and Secure Investment: For each priority opportunity, build a rigorous business case that defines the external customer, market size, competitive landscape, product form, pricing model, required investment, go-to-market path, and success metrics. You will present these to CTO and executive leadership to secure resources and organizational commitment.

Forge Customer and Partner Relationships: Engage directly with external customers, strategic partners, government agencies, and commercial enterprises to validate market demand, shape requirements, and establish early commercial relationships. You will serve as the commercial face of the Advanced Technology Development group’s…
