Director of Product Management-Muon Halo
About The Position
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.

- Proven track record of owning and delivering products that span hardware and software domains
- Experience working in mission-critical, systems-integration environments where requirements traceability and change control matter
- Strong instincts for product strategy: ability to reason from first principles about what to build, what to defer, and why
- Track record of influencing without authority across engineering, business development, and operations peers
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field; advanced degree preferred
