The role is hybrid in San Jose, California, with on-site work three days per week.

Own the strategy, roadmap, architecture, productization, and commercial decisions for one or two technically complex space product areas. Partner with engineering, Growth, Marketing, and Go-to-Market teams to standardize offerings, define capability tiers, guide customer discovery, support sales, and align investments across hardware, software, operations, and data systems.

Owns a defined technical product area across discovery, requirements, backlog management, prioritization, release planning, and customer feedback. Partners with software, hardware, and operations engineering teams on trade-offs, delivery risks, productization, documentation, and configuration control. Supports sales and marketing with technical materials and demonstrations. Requires 3–5 years of technical product management experience and a technical bachelor’s degree. The role is hybrid, requiring three days per week onsite in San Jose, California.

Lead Muon Space’s RF Sensing Program, managing multidisciplinary aerospace development, customer and supplier relationships, contractual execution, cost, schedule, risks, resources, and technical performance. Build and track roadmaps, budgets, integrated master schedules, and program metrics while coordinating engineering, business, legal, finance, and operations teams. Support proposals, customer engagement, contract growth, and new business captures. The role requires experience delivering satellite-based systems and managing hardware, firmware, software, and algorithm development.

Coordinate recruiting interviews across time zones, maintain Greenhouse records and postings, communicate with candidates, manage interview logistics, support recruiters and hiring managers, assist with recruiting events and sourcing, track headcount and reporting, and improve hiring processes and candidate experience.

Designs software solutions for satellite missions by aligning customer needs with Muon’s architecture and roadmap. Guides mission software projects, product roadmaps, architectural standards, security, reliability, performance, deployment strategy, and customer engagements. Supports engineering escalations, organizational planning, and training. Requires broad expertise in software engineering, distributed systems, aerospace or robotics, multiple programming languages, and whole-system design.

Design, build, release, integrate, test, and troubleshoot spacecraft components and assemblies from concept through flight. Develop design trades, engineering documentation, and CAD models; participate in design reviews; coordinate structural and thermal analysis; support qualification and mission operations; and contribute to design standards, technical leadership, mentoring, and subsystem lifecycle ownership.

Lead definition and integration of end-to-end spacecraft platform baselines (HW+SW+ops). Drive platform roadmaps, perform system-level simulation and V&V, shape fault management and operational concepts, standardize reusable requirements and documentation, and coordinate cross-functional domain leads to deliver fleet-scale mission platforms.

Develops aerospace manufacturing processes for satellite systems, collaborating with design engineers on manufacturability, testability, and integration. Creates assembly sequences, work instructions, tooling requirements, and production documentation. Supports hands-on assembly and testing, troubleshoots process issues, performs root cause analysis, and drives improvements in efficiency, quality, and safety. The role is fully onsite in San Jose, California, and requires experience in aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing.

Leads and grows a full-stack software engineering team developing internal platforms, integrations, and automation. Owns hiring, performance management, technical standards, roadmaps, architecture, delivery, and operational reliability. Partners with cross-functional stakeholders to integrate enterprise systems and improve business workflows. This hands-on player-coach contributes to design, code reviews, technology selection, and implementation while guiding buy-versus-build decisions.

Develop and maintain mission-critical internal software and platforms that automate workflows across information systems, factories, and launch operations. Own software delivery from concept through maintenance, contribute to architecture and technology decisions, and integrate systems such as ERP, PLM, MES, and supply chain platforms. The role requires full-stack development, database selection, API development, and adaptability in a fast-paced environment.

Build and test ground software and supporting tools for satellite constellations. Interns own scoped projects from design through implementation, participate in code reviews, document work, debug unfamiliar systems, and collaborate with software and hardware engineers.
