As a Senior Technical Product Manager, you'll own the technical direction of one of BCT's product lines — ADCS, star trackers, reaction wheels, power, or another BCT product area — assigned based on business need and your background. These products have enabled hundreds of spacecraft and missions, and you'll own where yours goes next. You'll navigate between customers, engineering, the business, and the industry: shaping the roadmap, framing the tradeoffs, and helping teams converge when priorities compete and the right answer isn't obvious. You'll lead through influence rather than authority by aligning stakeholders, setting priorities, and giving engineers the context they need to build well. You care about turning real industry needs and market signals into products that are relevant, repeatable, and valuable over time. BCT's mission is to enable space missions that expand the frontiers of science and defense. This is a high-ownership, low-ceremony role, and your job is to make that mission real for the product line you lead. If you're the kind of person who meets an ambiguous problem with curiosity and then goes to work clearing the constraints in the way, you'll do well here.
Job Responsibility
Own the product roadmap for your assigned line from concept through qualification and production, and influence the roadmaps of the components it depends on
Be the technical voice of the customer. Turn mission requirements, feedback, and market trends into clear priorities engineering can act on
Champion the product externally. Present improvements and roadmap at industry conferences, help shape technical papers, and bring customers the "art of the possible" — showing them what's now feasible and getting them excited about it
Lead customer technical exchanges and reviews. Communicate status, risk, and direction credibly to people who know the subject cold
Drive the early-phase decisions that shape a product — architecture, requirements, qualification scope, and the trade studies that balance performance, cost, manufacturability, and mission goals
Support proposals and investment planning. Contribute technical content, ROMs, schedules, and risk posture
help scope IRAD/CRAD opportunities tied to where the business is going
Keep the product line consistent. Provide technical guidance on interfaces, architecture, and design intent, and mentor Level 1/2 engineers along the way
Requirements
A technical degree (Systems, Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, or similar) and 7+ years of relevant engineering experience
Strong engineering fundamentals, with the ability to think through interactions between engineering domains — mechanical, electrical, software, thermal, and more
A track record of owning or meaningfully shaping a product or subsystem across multiple programs
A solid grasp of the spacecraft product lifecycle — concept through qualification, production, and sustainment, including TRLs — and the judgment to make sound, risk-based calls with incomplete data
The ability to work across Engineering, BD, Program Management, and Operations, and to lead technical discussions that land with both customers and internal teams
Strong written and verbal communication
Other responsibilities as assigned
May include personnel management responsibilities
Nice to have
Bachelor’s degree in Systems, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline
7+ years of relevant engineering experience
GNC engineering experience — extra points for familiarity with BCT systems
Spacecraft systems engineering experience with direct experience in a subsystem BCT supports (ADCS, Power, C&DH, etc.)
Hands-on experience with a component solution BCT supplies or competes against (star trackers, reaction wheels, CMGs, torque rods, sun sensors, SADAs, batteries, solar arrays)
Technical product management or team leadership
Configurable or variant-based product lines across diverse customer needs
Trade studies and parametric analysis
Familiarity with specs, SOWs, and subcontract technical inputs
Flight-program experience under schedule pressure
MATLAB or Python
JIRA or similar planning/tracking tools
A "figure it out and get it done" instinct
Related technical experience may be considered in lieu of education
