Come join us in shaping the future! Get in on the ground floor as an early member of our Product Assurance team as a Product Assurance Manager developing a revolutionary satellite communications system. Connect the vision to the hardware, build it, test it and fly it.

Responsibilities
As Product Assurance Manager you are the mission assurance technical authority for the program, operating as an independent branch reporting to leadership.

You will work across every lead, our suppliers, and the customer's assurance organization to ensure the spacecraft is built and qualified to standard.
