The Senior Technical Product Manager drives the technical direction, planning, and execution of BCT’s Power Systems Components like solar arrays, batteries, solar array drive assemblies (SADAs), power distribution units (PDUs), etc. while working closely with PMs and SEs for spacecraft and EPS products. This role owns the product roadmap, assists technical proposal efforts, and aligns engineering execution with customer needs and business goals. Acting as the voice of the customer, the Technical Product Manager ensures that technical decisions deliver both near-term program success and long-term product value.
Job Responsibility:
Own the full product lifecycle of satellite components and subsystems from concept through qualification and production, ensuring alignment with strategic roadmap and customer needs
Act as the technical Voice of the Customer by incorporating customer feedback, mission requirements, and market trends into the product roadmap and technical priorities
Assist engineering proposal efforts, including technical solutioning, schedule planning, risk identification, and coordination with cross-functional leads
Drive product-level trade studies that balance performance, cost, manufacturability, and mission goals
Facilitate early-phase technical planning: define configurable architecture, requirements, and qualification scope in coordination with systems engineering
Collaborate across internal teams to scope IRAD and CRAD investment opportunities aligned with long-term technical and business objectives
Lead customer technical exchanges, reviews, and decision meetings
communicate status, risk posture, and product evolution clearly and credibly
Provide technical guidance across product lines to ensure consistency in interface definition, system architecture, and design intent
Support new and modified product designs by coordinating verification strategies, modeling needs, and test approaches with responsible engineers
Assist with internal product support activities (e.g., debug triage, sustaining reviews) as needed to maintain customer satisfaction
Support onboarding and alignment of Level 1/2 engineers
model clear ownership and technical rigor in execution
May include personnel management responsibilities
Other responsibilities as assigned
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Systems, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline
Minimum 7 years of relevant engineering experience
Demonstrated experience owning or significantly influencing a product or subsystem across multiple programs
Strong understanding of the spacecraft product lifecycle from concept through qualification, production, and sustainment, including technology readiness levels (TRLs)
Proven ability to define product scope, priorities, and tradeoffs balancing performance, cost, schedule, and risk
Experience leading or contributing technical content for proposals, including requirements definition, ROMs, schedules, and risk posture
Ability to work effectively across Engineering, Business Development, Program Management, and Operations to align technical execution with business goals
Demonstrated capability to lead technical discussions with customers and internal stakeholders, clearly articulating design intent, roadmap direction, and risk
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, actionable technical and planning artifacts
Ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and make sound, risk-based decisions
Nice to have:
3 or more years of direct product development, technical product management, or technical team leadership experience
Experience with spacecraft power systems and related components like solar arrays, batteries, solar array drive assemblies (SADAs), power distribution units (PDUs), etc.
Experience developing and managing configurable or variant-based products across diverse customer needs
Demonstrated ability to perform and interpret trade studies, parametric analyses, and evaluations of emerging technologies
Experience collaborating closely with customers to define needs and shape competitive technical solutions
Familiarity with procurement artifacts such as specifications, statements of work, and subcontract technical inputs
Hands-on experience supporting demanding flight programs, including schedule pressure, integration challenges, or customer-driven changes
Comfort working with modeling, simulation, or analysis tools
experience with MATLAB or Python preferred
Experience using planning and tracking tools such as JIRA or similar
Demonstrated “figure it out and get it done” mindset when facing incomplete data or evolving requirements
