Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements each day on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence helps protect critical assets, characterize activity in orbit, monitor emerging threats, and enable safer and more effective operations for commercial and government missions. \nWe’re not just building technology-we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and the operating environment becomes increasingly complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, satellite operations, and national security missions around the world. \nIf you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the intersection of aerospace, national security, sensing, software, data, and AI, your impact starts here. This position is contingent upon final approval, with an anticipated hiring timeline beginning as early as January 2027. We are beginning the search in advance of the anticipated hiring timeline. \nLeoLabs is seeking a Radar Product Manager to lead the continued development, commercialization, and growth of our transportable radar product, our radar-based space domain awareness product. \nOur transportable radar product combines advanced radar sensing, software, data processing, and operational capabilities to provide customers with persistent, high-quality information about objects and activity in low Earth orbit. Our transportable radar product extends LeoLabs' ability to deploy sensing capability where customers need it and enables a range of commercial and government missions. \nThis role sits at the intersection of customers, product strategy, radar technology, engineering, operations, deployment, and business objectives. You will be responsible for understanding customer missions and market opportunities, defining where our transportable radar product should compete, shaping the capabilities and configurations customers need, and helping turn advanced radar technology into scalable products and services customers can buy, deploy, and operate. \nThe ideal candidate is a strong product thinker with both commercial and technical judgment. You should have experience working in the space industry or in a closely related aerospace or national-security environment, be comfortable working with complex hardware and software systems, and be able to translate customer missions and technical capabilities into clear product and business direction. \nWhat You’ll Do \nOwn the product and business strategy for our transportable radar product, including product vision, roadmap, market positioning, prioritization, packaging, configurations, and execution\nDevelop a deep understanding of our transportable radar product customers, users, missions, workflows, operational environments, procurement considerations, and buying behavior\nWork directly with commercial and government customers, operators, mission partners, internal stakeholders, and subject-matter experts to identify unmet needs, validate product opportunities, and determine where our transportable radar product can create differentiated value\nIdentify and prioritize market segments, mission areas, use cases, deployment models, and customer problems where our transportable radar product can create meaningful mission impact and business growth\nTranslate customer, mission, and business requirements into clear product requirements, system capabilities, configurations, interfaces, and prioritized development work\nPartner closely with radar, hardware, software, systems, data, infrastructure, and operations teams throughout the product lifecycle, from discovery and definition through development, integration, testing, deployment, operation, and iteration\nMake product investment decisions based on customer value, strategic differentiation, revenue potential, sensor performance, technical feasibility, operational complexity, scalability, and company priorities\nDefine how our transportable radar product capabilities, configurations, service levels, and access models are packaged and positioned so customers can clearly understand what they are buying, what mission outcomes it enables, and how it differs from other LeoLabs offerings\nPartner with Sales, Business Development, Marketing, and Customer Success to support customer engagements, technical discussions, demonstrations, proposals, strategic pursuits, pilots, and go-to-market activities\nHelp shape pricing, packaging, service models, and commercial structures for our transportable radar product offerings in partnership with Product leadership and other business stakeholders\nDevelop a strong understanding of the tradeoffs between radar performance, deployment location, coverage, capacity, tasking, reliability, availability, maintainability, cost, and customer mission outcomes\nPartner with Engineering and Operations to understand radar performance and identify opportunities to improve sensing capability, data quality, coverage, availability, operational efficiency, and customer value\nHelp define requirements for how customers interact with and task our transportable radar product, how measurements and data products are delivered, and how our transportable radar product integrates with customer and LeoLabs software systems \nMaintain and communicate a clear product roadmap and ensure alignment across Product, Engineering, Radar Operations, Sales, Business Development, Customer Success, and company leadership\nDefine and monitor product, business, and operational metrics that measure customer outcomes, radar performance, availability, utilization, adoption, reliability, deployment effectiveness, revenue impact, and overall product performance\nLead product launches and internal enablement, ensuring that customer-facing teams can effectively explain, demonstrate, position, and sell our transportable radar product capabilities\nContinuously evaluate competing sensing solutions, emerging radar and sensor technologies, customer acquisition trends, market developments, and evolving space and national-security requirements to identify new opportunities for our transportable radar product\nDistinguish between one-off customer requirements and repeatable market needs, ensuring our transportable radar product evolves as a scalable product family rather than a collection of bespoke radar programs\nHelp establish and improve product management practices as LeoLabs continues to scale its product organization\nWhat We’re Looking For \n5+ years of product management experience, preferably with products involving hardware, software, data, sensing, infrastructure, or other complex technical systems\nProfessional experience working in the space industry, or in a closely related aerospace, defense, or national-security environment, with demonstrated understanding of space missions,
