Senior Program Manager, Mission Operations

The posting, as Hubble Network wrote it

Hubble Network was founded with the intention of delivering on the promise of what Internet-of-Things (IoT) was supposed to be. We're building a global Bluetooth® network dedicated to machine-to-machine connectivity. We differentiate ourselves as the first modem-less and gateway-less, direct-to-satellite network from off-the-shelf Bluetooth® Low Energy chips. Hubble is ideal for applications in logistics, AgTech, and maritime where economies of scale for volume consumer and enterprise asset tracking is a priority. Our goal is to be the first billion-endpoint-connected network in the world.

Hubble is an early-stage, venture-backed startup supported by some of the best investors in the world. In their previous lives, the founding team has been successful in raising $100s of millions in venture funding, developing the Amazon Sidewalk network, launching billions of dollars of space assets, and leading their teams to successful exits, both through acquisition and IPO. We are now looking to bring on talented team members who are the best at what they do to help us make Hubble a reality for the world.

This is a hybrid full-time position based in Seattle, WA or San Francisco, CA

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Senior Program Manager, Mission Operations to own two of the most consequential parts of Hubble's space business: the programs we run through our spacecraft vendors and contract manufacturers, and the day-to-day operation of the constellation those programs deliver.

You will be Hubble's single accountable owner for our spacecraft bus and contract manufacturing partners, running those programs end to end — commercial terms, design reviews, qualification campaigns, hardware delivery, launch integration, and on-orbit commissioning — and holding partners to what they committed to. In parallel you will lead Hubble's Mission Operations function: setting technical direction for how we operate our satellites and payloads, building the team and tooling to scale from a handful of vehicles to a production fleet. It suits someone who has lived on both sides of the table — a strong space program manager with genuine engineering depth, credible in a vendor review and steady in an anomaly call.

This is a full-time, supervisory position reporting directly to our Chief Operating Officer. Seattle, WA is strongly preferred; remote will be considered for the right candidate. Expect regular travel to partner facilities.

• First Principles Engineering : Have a strong understanding of the whys behind the "what's"; have the ability to extrapolate from first principles to complex system design
• High Learning Agility : Love to learn; have a grounded approach to recognizing your weaknesses and take the initiative to brush up on and sharpen your engineering foundations to better collaborate with your teammates with different backgrounds
• System-Lev

• Experience in a startup or rapid-iteration environment, and a track record of adding rigor without adding bureaucracy.
• Engineering degree in aerospace, electrical, mechanical, or a related field. PMP or equivalent certification is a plus.
