About the role
Muon seeks a Senior Technical Program Manager - Propulsion Systems to lead the end-to-end planning of the development, manufacturing and test of our propulsion systems.

Bridging products and programs: You will serve as the primary link to our product group, helping guide strategic product decisions and making sure the overall roadmap gets executed without a hitch.
Driving thruster production: You will keep supply chains steady and kitting organized, track timeline needs for specific spacecraft missions, cut through organizational friction to keep production moving, and decide on pragmatic timing for introducing product upgrades.
Maintaining clear team communication: You will keep dialogue flowing across engineering leads, managers, and executives to minimize unexpected surprises or crossed wires.
Managing customer relationships: You will act as the point person for our thruster customers—understanding their pain points, sharing transparent updates, knowing when discretion is needed, and involving the broader propulsion engineering team only when required. …
