What the job involves
- We are seeking a Director of Product Management to help define and lead how Product Management operates at Muon Space
- This is a foundational leadership role: you will partner closely with the VP of Product to set the strategic direction for the Muon Halo™ platform, while establishing the processes, frameworks, and culture that will scale the PM function as the company grows through its next stage
- The Muon Halo™ platform spans satellite hardware, embedded software, ground systems, and mission operations — a scope that demands a leader with the technical depth to engage credibly across disciplines and the organizational acumen to align complex, cross-functional teams around shared priorities
- You will own significant platform areas end-to-end, contribute directly to product strategy, and help shape how product management works at Muon
- Own the product strategy and roadmap for key areas of the Muon Halo platform, partnering with the VP of Product on prioritization and portfolio-level decisions
- Lead requirements definition across hardware, software, and operations domains — ensuring cohesion across the full platform stack (MuSim, MuOS, MuCore, MuSat, MuDash)
- Drive the architectural decisions that determine how Muon's platform compounds mission-over-mission, emphasizing reusability, interoperability, and scalability
- Define acceptance criteria and validation processes for integrated system capabilities, establishing traceability from customer needs through to delivery
- Own configuration control and change management processes for your platform areas
- Partner with the VP of Product to define how Product Management is practiced at Muon — the methodologies, rituals, templates, and standards that will serve the team as it scales
- Help establish a PM culture grounded in technical rigor, customer insight, and data-informed decision making
- Mentor and, over time, manage junior and senior PMs as the team grows
- Contribute to PM hiring: help define the roles we need and assess candidates against a clear bar
- Lead product marketing collaboration — translating platform capabilities into crisp positioning, messaging, and content across website copy, whitepapers, case studies, and thought leadership
- Serve as a senior technical voice in the sales process: customer meetings, product demonstrations, and RFP responses
- Drive win/loss analysis and ensure competitive and customer insights are systematically fed back into product development
- Guide feature packaging and tiering decisions in partnership with Go-To-Market leadership
- Lead alignment across engineering teams spanning satellite hardware, embedded software, ground systems, and cloud infrastructure
- Partner with mission operations to ensure product designs meet real-world operational requirements
- Interface with manufacturing to align product evolution with production capabilities
- Support program management in coordinating deliverables across concurrent customer missions
Our take
Developing and operating satellites represents a significant challenge. Many organizations need accurate, space-based data but lack the resources or expertise to build their own spacecraft or manage the necessary ground systems and data processing.
To tackle this issue, Muon Space provides a service called Muon Halo. This allows customers to access satellite data without having to handle the technical details of satellite construction or operation. Muon offers end-to-end solutions, including building and launching satellites, managing operations, and processing collected data.
Muon has contracts with major customers like the US Air Force and US Space Force. It is supported by considerable funding that is being invested into scaling operations across satellite production, the deployment of its automated constellation operations platform, and expansion of its global ground station network.
