About the Team:
The Terrestrial Software team is building the foundation for an automated rocket factory and integrated launch platform. Their mission is to automate and streamline workflows across the entire lifecycle of Terran R, from raw material intake to launch operations and eventually manufacturing on Mars. Today, that means partnering directly with teams across design, materials, manufacturing, and test and launch to design, implement, and deploy end-user enterprise-wide applications, industrial automation, data analytics infrastructure, and next-generation AI to solve real problems and accelerate progress. Long term, the team is laying the groundwork for a modular, scalable software platform that can power highly autonomous operations on Earth and beyond. This is a team for builders and thinkers who thrive on cross-functional impact and want to shape the digital backbone of our future in space.
About the Role:
* Strategy & Roadmap
* Define product vision and strategic roadmap for MES enhancements and inâÂÂhouse modules.
* Balance deliverables between offâÂÂtheâÂÂshelf functionality and custom software features, ensuring seamless integration and scalability.
* Stakeholder Collaboration
* Engage with manufacturing leaders, operations staff, IT, and engineering to understand operational challenges, needs, and priorities.
* Translate insights into clear product requirements, prioritize backlogs, and establish success criteria.
* Execution & Delivery
* Own endâÂÂtoâÂÂend delivery of MES-related features from concept through requirements, development, testing, implementation, and postâÂÂlaunch support.
* Ensure alignment with manufacturing workflows, regulatory needs, data integrity, and system performance.
* Integration & Innovation
* Collaborate with engineering to integrate MES with ERP, PLM, QMS, automation systems, and inâÂÂhouse modules.
* Explore and track advanced technologies (IIoT, dashboards, analytics, Industryâ¯4.0 approaches) for future enhancements.
* Metrics & Feedback
* Define key performance indicators (e.g., OEE improvements, downtime reduction, traceability metrics, user adoption rates).
* Establish feedback loops, monitor product performance, and iterate based on manufacturing and user insights.
* Scaling & Training
* Drive adoption across multiple sites or lines create documentation, conduct training, and champion change management efforts.
About You:
Experience:
* 8-12+ years of product management experience, preferably in manufacturing software or MES.
* 3+ years of direct, hands-on MES experience, including configuring, enhancing, or integrating systems like Manufacturo or similar platforms
Nice to haves but not required:
Technical & Domain Knowledge:
* Deep understanding of manufacturing processes production, quality, traceability, OEE, compliance.
* Familiarity with system integration (ERP, PLM, QMS)
Product Management Skills:
* Proven ability to craft and execute product vision, roadmap, requirements, user stories, and releases.
Collaboration & Communication:
* Excellent cross-functional leadership working with manufacturing, engineering, IT, quality, and executive stakeholders.
* Effective communication skills ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear plans for diverse audiences.
