From the posting
About the role
Muon Space is hiring a Product Manager to own how much data our missions get to the ground, and how we prove it. Reporting to a Director of Product Management, you will own bits-to-ground communications across RF and optical links, simulation, and software test.
This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office four days per week.
Responsibilities
Comms, Simulation and Test
Own the product roadmap for bits-to-ground communications across RF and optical (OCT) links.
Own the product roadmap for Muon Sim, the digital twin behind mission design and mission operations, including the throughput analysis that sets what a constellation can deliver.
Grow simulation into a tool for software iteration, so flight and ground software can be exercised against the twin before it reaches a spacecraft.
Own the product roadmap for software test infrastructure, automation, and hardware-in-the-loop environments.
Define and prioritize features that improve product quality, schedule adherence, or customer value.
Author clear Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), drive alignment, and follow through reliably.
Partner with the Director of Product Management to develop the strategy for the product areas including build/buy decisions.
Conduct customer interviews, gather feedback on product–market fit, and translate insights into roadmap decisions.
