Technical Product Owner / System Engineer - Space Hardware

The What: As the Technical Product Owner / System Engineer at Blackwave, you don't just manage products - you take full ownership for them. You spot gaps in the space market, translate unmet needs into bold technical concepts, and turn those concepts into flight-ready hardware. From first idea to certified product to serial manufacturing, you own the technical story end-to-end and make sure what we build truly deserves to go to space.

The Why: Space doesn't forgive weak products - and the market doesn't wait for them. At Blackwave, we are developing the next generation of space tanks to conquer the space industry. This role is where market insight meets engineering reality: you make sure we build the right products for the right use cases, not just good ones - and you bring them to life fast.

• Turn ideas into real products: Take market needs and opportunities and turn them into clear system concepts and requirements that engineering teams can build from.
• Own the product end-to-end: Be accountable for the technical definition of the product throughout its entire life - from early concepts and trade-offs to launch and long-term support.
• Guide the tough calls: Serve as the technical north star for the team. Review designs, question assumptions, and make thoughtful engineering decisions across disciplines.
• Release with confidence: Lead documentation, qualification, and technical release activities to ensure products are reliable, compliant, and ready for real-world use.
• Manage change in a scale-up environment: Drive technical changes thoughtfully, balancing speed, risk, and reliability as products grow and evolve.
• Bring teams together: Work closely with product management and project management roles and collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Sales and customers to develop the best product for the market.
