Mission Manager (Senior/Principal)

At Reflect, you will be expected to move fast, have a lot of ownership and, most importantly, be able to effect change. If this excites you, we are interested in hearing about your best work and accomplishments across any domain and from any points in your life.

Reflect Orbital is hiring a Senior or Principal Mission Manager to own the launch and regulatory execution required to get our spacecraft to orbit.

This is a hands-on senior IC role working across engineering, operations, legal, launch providers, regulators, and external partners. You’ll own mission schedules, launch-provider interfaces, regulatory submissions, technical deliverables, reviews, action items, and the hundreds of details that must come together on time for a successful mission.

- Own mission execution from launch-opportunity selection through launch readiness, launch campaign, and handoff to on-orbit operations

- Serve as Reflect’s primary interface with launch providers, launch integrators, regulatory counsel, government agencies, and other mission partners

- Build and maintain the integrated mission schedule, including external deliverables, regulatory milestones, technical reviews, launch-provider deadlines, dependencies, risks, and internal owners

- Own FCC licensing and spectrum-coordination workflows in partnership with engineering and outside counsel, including applications, modifications, technical exhibits, responses, reporting, and other required submissions

- Translate launch-provider and regulatory requirements into clear internal deliverables, identify the correct owners, and drive inputs to completion

- Coordinate spacecraft data packages, interface documentation, safety materials, analyses, certifications, test evidence, and other launch-readines...
