Muon Space•Mountain View, CA

About The Position

Muon Space is hiring a Staff Product Manager to own two of the highest-leverage software product surfaces in the company: our commercial Data Products business (GNSS-R, MSIR, and AICore-derived offerings) and the Muon Sim platform that underpins our ability to deliver mission-optimized constellations. Reporting to the VP of Product, you will own the productization decisions — pricing architecture, packaging, SLAs, customer tiering, data delivery — that will define the unit economics of our data business for years to come. This is a deliberate Staff-level (L6) IC role: the work requires the seniority to make load-bearing commercial decisions, the technical fluency to engage with platform and infrastructure leadership as a peer, and the judgment to operate across two adjacent surfaces with one owner until portfolio scale warrants a split.

Requirements

8–10 years of Product Management experience, with demonstrated success owning data, SaaS, or API products in technically complex environments.
Proven track record shipping pricing architecture, packaging, and SLA design for multi-segment data products — and translating those decisions into commercial outcomes.
Strong fluency working with infrastructure and platform engineering leadership; able to influence cross-organizational technical investment without direct authority.
Experience defining and operating customer-facing data delivery, including APIs, portals, and tiered SLAs.
Demonstrated ability to translate customer mission needs into detailed product requirements and acceptance criteria across software and data systems.
Experience with configuration control and change management for production data products.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field; advanced degree preferred.
This position requires access to export controlled information. To conform to U.S. Government export regulations applicable to that information, applicant must either be (A) a U.S. person, defined as a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (green card holder), (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, (B) eligible to access the export controlled information without a required export authorization, or (C) eligible and reasonably likely to obtain the required export authorization from the applicable U.S. government agency.

Nice To Haves

Experience in remote sensing, geospatial, Earth observation, or adjacent deep-tech data domains.
Familiarity with GNSS-R, MSIR, RF, or other space-based sensing modalities and their commercial applications.
Experience productizing simulation, modeling, or digital-twin platforms.
Familiarity with LEO constellation operations and the economics of downlink and tasking.
Previous experience deploying or scaling a Product function within a space, defense, or deep-tech company.
Prior experience in startup or high-growth technology environments.

Responsibilities

Own the commercial product strategy for Muon’s Data Products portfolio, including GNSS-R, MSIR, fire data products, and AICore-derived commercial offerings.
Define and publish the pricing architecture, packaging, and customer tiering for Muon’s data products.
Define data SLA tiers and align them with downlink prioritization across the constellation.
Partner with the BD Data Manager and Growth org on data contracts, deal structure, and the boundary between standardized packaging and bespoke commercial terms.
Drive the shift from bespoke, project-based data contracts to standardized, tiered packaging.
Conduct customer interviews, gather feedback on product–market fit, and translate insights into roadmap decisions and pricing experiments.
Analyze why deals are won or lost, identify product gaps and competitive advantages, and feed structured insights back into product development.
Own product strategy and roadmap for the Muon Sim platform.
Translate complex mission modeling, simulation, and digital-twin requirements into a coherent product surface that serves both internal mission engineering teams and external customers.
Define the productization path for Muon Sim and the commercial and licensing model that supports it.
Partner with simulation, mission engineering, and software teams to balance fidelity, performance, and time-to-market across releases.
Partner closely with engineering teams across software, data infrastructure, ground systems, and cloud.
Coordinate with the Director of PM — Federal on the boundary between commercial and defense-aligned data product variants.
Coordinate with the Junior PM covering Muon Command and ground operations on adjacencies between data delivery and mission operations software.
Support Go-To-Market teams with sales enablement, technical documentation, RFP responses, customer demonstrations, and product positioning materials.
Work with marketing on product messaging, website content, case studies, whitepapers, and thought-leadership content that drives demand generation for Muon’s data and software portfolio.
Collaborate with the VP of Product and the broader PM team on strategic roadmap decisions, prioritization trade-offs, and Series-C-aligned narrative.
