Position Purpose: The Components Product Manager II owns the strategic, execution, and financial leadership of a defined product line. Partnered with a technical lead, the role drives the full product lifecycle in direct alignment with market dynamics, customer requirements, and business growth objectives. This position leads the BCT XACT product line, a flight-proven Attitude Determination and Control System purpose-built for the rapidly growing small spacecraft market.

BCT is looking for an individual with an entrepreneurial mindset that includes a sharp business mind and a proven ability to strategize and manage the implementation of product line initiatives. This isn't a role for someone who waits to be told what to do. You'll bring an outside the box mindset, sharp commercial instincts, and the conviction to tell the business what it needs to hear. You thrive at the intersection of customer execution and business strategy, and you know how to translate that into product decisions that win in the market.

You're equally comfortable negotiating with customers, setting product roadmap priorities, and pulling cross-functional teams toward a common goal. This role blends the discipline of aerospace Program Management with the growth-oriented mindset of a New Space product leader, and you're ready to own both.
