## About the role

With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger — helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of technical program or project management experience working directly with software engineering teams, ideally on embedded, flight, or other high-reliability software
- Demonstrated ability to build and maintain detailed schedules, track dependencies, and keep a software team on track against firm external milestones (e.g., integration, test, launch dates)
- Comfort working closely with software engineers day-to-day with enough technical fluency to understand what's actually blocking progress, not just what's reported as blocked
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to give leadership a clear, honest schedule picture without diluting or overstating risk
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, aggressive-timeline environment with shifting priorities and high ambiguity
