Product Manager managing ground segment capabilities for hypersonic aircraft manufacturer Hermeus. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define and deliver mission systems and operator-facing workflows.
Responsibilities
Define ground segment product capabilities spanning mission planning, command and control, telemetry ingestion, operator interfaces, data logging, playback, and debrief; translate operational needs, flight-test objectives, and customer requirements into prioritized capability increments with clear acceptance criteria; and maintain the ground segment product roadmap aligned with program milestones and flight events.
Define operator-facing workflows for mission planning, execution, monitoring, contingency management, and debrief, ensuring ground segment capabilities support intuitive, deterministic, and auditable interactions while clearly representing operator actions, autonomy commands, and vehicle state to users.
Define integration intent and interface expectations between ground systems, airborne systems, autonomy services, simulation environments, and debrief tools, ensuring capability definitions account for OMS, UCI, ICDs, APIs, schemas, message contracts, versioning expectations, and integration risks while driving cross-team alignment.
Define product expectations for the mission data lifecycle from onboard logging through ground ingestion, synchronization, storage, playback, and analysis, establishing requirements for time alignment, metadata tagging, event annotation, and evidence capture to support verification, validation, regression testing, and post-flight analysis.
Define how ground segment capabilities are exercised across SITL, HITL, Joint Simulation Environment (JSE), and live flight environments, ensuring consistency of workflows, telemetry expectations, and mission phase transitions while partnering with test teams to enable deterministic testing and rapid issue isolation.
Define product requirements for cross-domain mission data packaging, sanitization, transfer, and storage, establishing expectations for metadata, integrity checks, and evidence handling while ensuring ground segment capabilities account for security, export-control, and data-handling constraints.
Define ground segment acceptance criteria and readiness expectations for flight events and demonstrations, support readiness discussions and milestone reviews by representing scope, maturity, and limitations, and ensure deliverables are traceable, review-ready, and aligned with program and customer needs.
Support government and partner engagements related to ground segment capabilities, operator workflows, and mission data products, and help shape deliverables, demonstrations, and transition artifacts for external stakeholders.
