About the role
As a Technical Project Manager, Software at Space Kinetic, you’ll keep teams aligned, remove roadblocks, and drive the delivery of mission-critical software capabilities that power our next-generation space systems. You will bring the structure, technical coordination, and process discipline needed to scale our development efforts while enabling software, hardware, systems, and test teams to make fast, high-quality decisions in a complex, interdisciplinary environment.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field—or equivalent practical experience

- Strong technical understanding of software development methodologies, tools, systems, and infrastructure
- Experience tracking project scope, cost drivers, technical dependencies, procurement needs, schedules, and critical-path activities
More about this role
A New Paradigm For Space Operations
Space Kinetic is a dual-use space technology startup building a completely new architecture for space operations—one that brings the advantages of proliferated drone technology to space missions while reducing the ecosystem’s reliance on consumable fuel. In a world where many companies are focused on incrementally improving the status quo, we are focused on creating something entirely different—an architecture underpinned by new first principles to meet the opportunities and challenges of the third space age head-on. Our goal is to move away from one-to-one space architectures, where each satellite has one or a small number of primary payloads attached to the bus, and unlock a one-to-many system in which each satellite carries numerous payloads that can be deployed from their host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster.
This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional 40-hour work week. Space Kinetic is building ambitious, first-of-its-kind technology, and that requires urgency, ownership, and a high level of commitment to changing the foundational assumptions for everything we do in space.
