About the Company
Armada is a full-stack edge infrastructure company delivering compute, connectivity, and sovereign AI/ML to some of the world’s most remote places. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense.
With over $200 million in funding, Armada is backed by top investors such as Microsoft (M12), Founders Fund, and has strategic partnerships including Starlink, Skydio, and NVIDIA. We are looking for the most brilliant minds in the world to join us.
Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.
The Mission
At Armada, we are conquering the "Connectivity Gap." We believe that the world’s most critical data shouldn't be trapped by geography. We are building the foundational infrastructure to connect the most remote assets on Earth—and in orbit—to the global network. From high-bandwidth satellite backhaul to intelligent routing at the edge, we are the invisible thread that makes the world’s data accessible everywhere.
We are seeking a Director of SATCOM Product Management to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of our satellite communications product suite. You will own the roadmap for how our global network architecture communicates across constellations and terrestrial nodes, ensuring that Armada remains the most resilient and connected platform in existence.
About the role
This is a high-stakes leadership role at the intersection of aerospace, telecommunications, and cloud software. As the Director, you will define the standard for Global Data Transport. You will be responsible for the product lifecycle of our SATCOM hardware integrations, multi-node mesh networking architectures, and the commercial strategy for bandwidth orchestration across major LEO and GEO constellations.
You will work closely with our engineering teams to build products that abstract the complexity of satellite handovers, atmospheric interference, and dynamic mesh routing into a seamless, high-performance experience for our customers.
Location: San Francisco, CA / Bellevue, WA / Remote (US)
What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)
- Product Vision & Roadmap: Define and execute the multi-year roadmap for Armada’s SATCOM products, including inter-satellite links (ISL), multi-orbit connectivity, and hybrid-network orchestration.
- Constellation Integration: Lead the technical product strategy for integrating with major satellite networks (e.g., Starlink, Kuiper, Viasat), ensuring optimized throughput and low-latency performance for Armada users.
- Mesh Network Strategy: Lead the strategy for decentralized mesh networking, enabling resilient, peer-to-peer communication between edge nodes even when primary satellite backhaul is unavailable or contested.
- Strategic Partnerships: Lead the product-level relationship with satellite constellation operators and terminal manufacturers to ensure Armada’s technology is always at the forefront of next-gen hardware capabilities.
- Commercial Strategy: Develop pricing models and service-level agreements (SLAs) for global data backhaul, balancing high-performance requirements with cost-efficiency for the customer.
- Customer Advocacy: Work directly with our most ambitious customers in defense, energy, and research to ensure our Satcom products meet the "always-on" demands of the world's most extreme environments.
Required Qualifications
- Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. Due to the nature of our work with government partners and sensitive aerospace technology, this is a non-negotiable requirement.
- 10+ Years of Experience: A proven track record in Product Management, with a significant portion dedicated to satellite communications, telecommunications, or large-scale networking infrastructure.
- Direct Satellite Experience: Hands-on experience managing products or services that utilize Starlink, Viasat, Kuiper, or similar high-capacity satellite constellations.
- Mesh & Networking Expertise: Deep experience with mesh networking protocols (e.g., MANET, FANET), software-defined networking (SDN), and resilient packet routing.
- Technical Depth: Deep understanding of RF fundamentals, Link Budgets, and the modern networking stack.
- Education: BS/MS in a technical field (EE, Aero/Astro, CS) or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Space & Aerospace Heritage: Significant experience working within the "New Space" ecosystem or with large-scale satellite internet service providers (ISPs).
- Hardware/Software Bridge: Experience managing products that involve both physical hardware (terminals/antennas) and complex cloud-based control planes.
- Tactical Communications: Experience building mesh-capable systems for defense or emergency response applications where infrastructure is non-existent.
- Regulatory Expertise: Familiarity with the licensing and regulatory hurdles associated with global satellite data transmission (FCC/NTIA).
The Armada Way
- Ownership: We operate with high autonomy and expect you to own the outcome, not just the process.
- Velocity: We prioritize speed of learning and speed of delivery.
- The Frontier: We are building things that don't have a playbook. If you thrive in the unknown, you belong here.
