## Job description

Legal Counsel

Imagine building a global satellite network from the ground up - one designed not just to connect the world, but to redefine how enterprises and governments operate. At Logos Space, we are launching a purpose-built Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system to fill a critical gap in global connectivity. We’re not just building infrastructure; we’re engineering a foundation of unprecedented speed, resilience, and reliability to extend cloud networks to the most remote corners of the earth - whether by land, sea, or air. Led by a team of industry veterans with proven track records in networking and aerospace, Logos is where world-class engineering meets mission-critical impact. If you're ready to design the future of space-based connectivity from day one, you belong here.

## POSITION SUMMARY

As the first legal hire at Logos Space, you will bridge the gap between ambitious aerospace innovation and sound, forward-thinking legal strategy. You will wear many hats, serving as the foundational pillar for all things legal while acting as a strategic business partner. Our Legal function is directly responsible for safeguarding and accelerating our network deployment through complex transactional drafting, sophisticated corporate structuring, and navigating advanced regulatory landscapes.

From day one, you will have a seat at the table - partnering hand-in-hand with our VP of Corporate Development & Operations and Head of Business Development to architect and negotiate highly complex, first-of-its-kind commercial agreements and strategic partnerships. Furthermore, you will serve as a key advisor to the executive leadership team, managing the legal strategy for large-scale institutional fundraising and corporate financing rounds by effectively leveraging and partnering with our expert outside counsel. You will drive legal solutions from the initial whiteboard sketch to final execution, establishing the blueprint for our legal operations as we scale.

What it takes to thrive here:

- Foresight & Virtual Leadership: You instinctively "look around corners" to anticipate hurdles before they hit, and you excel at leading and collaborating across distributed, virtual teams.
- Ambiguity into Action: You excel in a fast-paced environment and are energized by taking ambiguous, first-of-its-kind business ideas and transforming them into airtight, forward-thinking legal frameworks.
- Problem-Solving Passion: You don't just spot risks - you actively collaborate with engineering and business teams to solve the hardest legal, commercial, and financial puzzles in the space industry.

## KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Deal Structuring & Advanced Negotiations: Partner closely with the VP of Corporate Development & Operations and Head of Business Development to structure, draft, and close complex commercial transactions, strategic partnerships, anchor customer agreements, and vendor/supplier contracts. Given our dual-use focus, familiarity with USG procurement and government contracting frameworks is a major plus as we secure key commercial and public sector deals.
- Fundraising & Corporate Financing Strategy: Partner with the CEO, VP of Corporate Development & Operations, and executive leadership to prepare for and structure large-scale institutional fundraising rounds (Series A/B/C) and strategic corporate financing. You will manage the internal legal due diligence process and coordinate closely with our expert outside counsel to review term sheets, definitive investor agreements, and ensure smooth execution.
- Build the Legal Infrastructure: Architect Logos Space’s legal foundation from scratch. Establish standard templates, NDA processes, contract management workflows, and corporate policies that enable the company to move fast without compromising security.
- Corporate Governance & Strategy: Support the leadership team on corporate matters, including board governance, compliance, equity administration, and strategic corporate development.
- Dual-Use & Regulatory Oversight: Work collaboratively with external counsel to monitor and navigate aerospace regulations, FCC/ITU spectrum compliance, international data privacy, and government contracting requirements (NDAs, security clearances, or dual-use considerations as applicable).
- Cross-Functional Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor to engineering, product, and operations teams, providing pragmatic, solutions-oriented advice on risk mitigation, intellectual property protection, and business scalability.

## BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Education: Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with the California State Bar (or eligible to register as In-House Counsel).
- Experience: 8-10+ years of legal experience, ideally combining foundational training at a top-tier law firm with in-house experience at a high-growth technology, aerospace, or defense startup.
- Transactional & Financing Expertise: Proven track record of independently leading, drafting, and negotiating highly complex commercial transactions or technology agreements, as well as hands-on experience managing and executing large-scale institutional fundraising rounds (venture capital or strategic corporate financing).
- Mindset: An entrepreneurial, "builder" mentality. You are comfortable being a department of one, managing a high volume of diverse requests, and prioritizing ruthlessly.

## PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience handling growth-stage corporate financing (Series A through C+) or complex project financing for infrastructure/aerospace.
- Experience in the aerospace, satellite communications (SatCom), telecommunications, or defense-tech sectors.
- Familiarity with government procurement, defense contracting (FAR/DFARS), or dealing with dual-use technology regulatory frameworks (ITAR/EAR).
- Experience handling intellectual property portfolios (patents, trade secrets) in hardware- or network-heavy environments.

## About Logos Space

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Logos Space is building a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to deliver a secure, resilient, high-performance private network for government and enterprise customers.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Mountain View, California, USA (with additional office in Redwood City, CA)
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Milo Medin (former Google VP of access services and NASA project manager)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Satellite communications, aerospace & defense, telecommunications
- **Target customers**: Government agencies (defense, intelligence, civil) and large enterprises requiring secure, guaranteed connectivity – distinct from consumer-focused satellite broadband.
- **Mission / purpose**: Deliver a next-generation private network that is purpose-built for contested communications environments, offering security, resilience, and fiber-like performance where fiber doesn’t go.

## Products & Services
- **Logos LEO Constellation**: A planned network of up to 4,178 satellites operating in Q, V, Ka and E frequency bands (FCC licensed). Capabilities include symmetric multi-gigabit throughput, Layer 2 MPLS networking, end-to-end encryption, and electronic warfare (EW) resilience. Designed as a dual-use system (civilian and military) with hardened satellites and a mesh architecture to maintain service during disruption.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Total Funding**: USD $50 million (Series A led by US Innovative Technology Fund, announced June 2025). Total funding to date is $50M, with USIT as the sole investor.
- **Key Metric**: 22–38 employees (rapidly growing; headcount up 416% year-over-year); 59 active job postings as of mid-2026.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: US Innovative Technology Fund (chaired by serial entrepreneur Thomas Tull). Key hires from SpaceX, NASA, Airbus, OneWeb, and Apollo Fusion.
- **Growth Signals**: FCC grant for satellite spectrum license (Feb 2026) authorizing up to 4,178 satellites; emerged from stealth in Oct 2024; aiming for first operational satellite in late 2027; aggressive hiring across engineering, RF, software, and business development.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Dual-use focus**: Purpose-built for government and enterprise, not consumer – enabling higher security, guaranteed service, and resilience requirements.
- **EW-resilient design**: Architecture minimizes signal disruption and resists jamming through high-elevation angles, tightly focused beams, and hardened satellites.
- **Unique spectrum portfolio**: FCC-approved use of Q, V, Ka and E bands – high-frequency bands that are less congested and offer higher bandwidth.
- **Fiber-like performance at scale**: Symmetric multi-Gbps throughput with Layer 2 MPLS and end-to-end encryption, filling a gap underserved by existing LEO providers.
- **Experienced leadership**: Founder Milo Medin (Google access services, NASA) and a deeply experienced technical team from top aerospace and satellite organizations.

## Strategic Focus
- Complete critical design decisions, select partners, and build prototypes.
- Scale engineering team from ~30 to 70+ employees through 2026.
- Deploy first operational satellite by late 2027 and begin constellation build-out.
- Continue engaging with U.S. regulators and potential government/enterprise customers.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven**: Work on a “next-generation” communications infrastructure that addresses real national security and enterprise resilience needs.
- **Culture & values**: No silos, no politics; treat people with respect; debate, decide, commit; continuous learning; customer focus. Operating principles explicitly discourage unprofessional behavior.
- **Growth opportunity**: Start-up stage with significant funding, clear milestone, and aggressive hiring – opportunity to shape technology and team.
- **Work policy**: In-office (typically 5 days a week) at Mountain View or Redwood City, CA locations.
- **Teams**: Engineering, product, operations, and business development roles heavily represented; emphasis on space, RF, embedded software, and network engineering.
