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.

AN IDEAL CANDIDATE HAS

A Sense of Urgency: Lead projects from concept to reality, rapidly and effectively
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-Level Design and Analysis: Understand the requirements flow down process and be able to quickly iterate on evolving requirements
Excellent Communication Skills: Effectively convey ideas and communicate technical topics with engineering, build staff, and operations; run self-directed design reviews and participate in reviews of parallel systems
Anticipation of Needs: Identify problems, think creatively, and rapidly produce reliable and cost-effective solutions to meet the ever growing and changing needs of an early-stage company

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

10+ years in space or satellite systems, spanning both program management and hands-on engineering or operations.
Demonstrated ownership of a spacecraft, payload, or satellite program through a full lifecycle — design, qualification, delivery, launch, and on-orbit operations.
Proven experience managing external spacecraft vendors, contract manufacturers, or prime/subcontractor relationships with real contract management, schedule execution, and cost accountability.
Engineering depth sufficient to evaluate vendor technical work independently and push back credibly — spacecraft systems, RF communications, or a closely adjacent discipline.
