  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, science, or a related field; advanced degree (MBA, MS, PhD) a plus
  • Proven track record of building and scaling commercial organizations and launching new products/services
  • Experience selling into both government and commercial space markets
  • Strong understanding of space systems, including small satellites and RF/optical communications
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product, engineering, and marketing
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, early-stage environments
  • Exceptional communication skills, able to translate technical concepts into clear business value

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and performance-based compensation
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, including dependents
  • 401(k) plan with employer match and annual wellness allowance
  • Unlimited vacation, supportive parental leave policy, and company-wide holiday shutdown
