Why LeoLabs?
At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements each day on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence helps protect critical assets, characterize activity in orbit, monitor emerging threats, and enable safer and more effective operations for commercial and government missions.
We’re not just building technology—we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and the operating environment becomes increasingly complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, satellite operations, and national security missions around the world.
If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the intersection of aerospace, national security, software, data, and AI, your impact starts here. This position is contingent upon final approval, with an anticipated hiring timeline beginning as early as January 2027. We are beginning the search in advance of the anticipated hiring timeline.
LeoLabs is seeking a Software Product Manager to join our Product organization and lead the continued development, commercialization, and growth of our SDA software product , one of LeoLabs’ core software products.
Our SDA software product transforms LeoLabs’ radar data and space-domain information into operational intelligence, analytics, alerts, and mission workflows that help customers understand what is happening in orbit and act with greater speed and confidence.
This role sits at the intersection of customers, market needs, product strategy, engineering, and business objectives. You will be responsible for understanding customer missions and market opportunities, defining where our SDA software product should compete, translating those needs into differentiated product capabilities, and helping turn those capabilities into products customers can adopt and buy.
The ideal candidate is a strong product thinker with both commercial and technical judgment. You should have experience working in the space industry or in a closely related aerospace or national-security environment, be comfortable engaging directly with sophisticated commercial and government customers, and be able to translate complex mission problems into clear product and business direction.
