Depending on the candidate background and company need, that could be the spacecraft platform (the bus and its mission-configurable options), the RF and optical bits-to-ground data path (hardware and software to get data from satellite to ground), on-board high-performance compute, or our instrument portfolio. Across any of these areas, you will own the roadmap and the productization decisions — architecture, capability tiering, SLAs, reuse-vs-customization, and (where applicable) pricing and packaging — that define how Muon scales commercially and operationally for years to come. Reporting to the VP of Product, this is a deliberate Staff-level (L6) IC role. The work requires the seniority to make load-bearing commercial and architectural decisions, the technical fluency to engage with engineering and leadership as a peer, and the judgment to operate across multiple surfaces — hardware, software, operations, and go-to-market — without a team to delegate to. This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our Mountain View, CA office three days per week. ### Responsibilities ### Area ownership & strategy - Own the strategy and multi-quarter roadmap for one to two large Muon product areas - Define what is a reusable platform capability versus a mission- or customer-specific customization, and shape the architectural choices that make that distinction hold up across multiple missions and customers. - Sequence the roadmap so Muon wins near-term deals while compounding reusable value for future ones. - Define how success is measured for the area and hold the organization accountable to it. ### Productization & commercial decisions - Own the productization decisions for your area. Drive the shift from bespoke, project-based commitments toward standardized, tiered offerings. This is a primary ROI vector for the role in every area. - Concretely, depending on area: - Spacecraft platform — define platform variants, standard interfaces, and the menu of options exposed to mission teams and customers; govern how the platform evolves across missions without fragmenting into one-offs. - Bits-to-ground — define latency, availability, and throughput tiers end-to-end from downlink to delivery; align ground segment, pipeline, and storage investments against those commitments; set downlink prioritization policy across the constellation. - On-board high-performance compute — define the on-board compute capability roadmap, the developer/SDK surface for mission payloads, and how on-board processing is exposed to internal mission teams and external customers (edge inference, on-board data reduction, tipping-and-cueing). - Instruments — shape the instrument portfolio strategy: which capabilities are standardized, which are bespoke, how performance is specified and verified, and how new instruments are productized across missions. ### Customer & market insight - Run customer and user discovery (external customers, internal mission teams, partners), gather structured feedback, and translate insights into roadmap decisions and productization experiments. - Partner with Growth to analyze won/lost deals, identify product gaps and competitive advantages, and feed structured insights back into product and engineering investment. - Track competitive and technology trends relevant to your area and keep the organization honest about where Muon leads, matches, or lags. ### Cross-functional partnership - Partner closely with engineering across software, hardware, and operations - Partner with the Growth org on deal structure, contract language, and the boundary between standardized packaging and bespoke commercial terms. - 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 portfolio. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
