## Job description

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.

With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.

Xona is seeking an Ecosystem Product Manager to help scale the Pulsar ecosystem and support our mission of advancing resilient satellite navigation technology. In this role, you will own partner integrations and help drive the successful adoption of Xona’s services across third-party devices, including GNSS receivers, simulators, and other user equipment. The ideal candidate is a tactical problem-solver, comfortable operating at the speed of a modern startup.

Key responsibilities will include:

- Serving as the technical point of contact for ecosystem partners, leading integrations of Pulsar into GNSS simulators, receivers, and related third-party platforms.
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with external stakeholders, including technology providers, integrators, and research organizations. You’ll motivate partners, chase down loose ends and knock down roadblocks as needed to deliver results.
- Leading partner-side coordination through the Pulsar Verified program, driving alignment across external stakeholders and ensuring both external and internal teams have the information and support they need, and helping ensure ecosystem integrations meet Pulsar performance and compliance standards.
- Collaborating with internal technical teams, including engineering and software development, to identify and resolve technical challenges during integration. You’ll diligently monitor project progress and roll-up your sleeves when required.
- Gathering intel to inform the broader product roadmap, so that Pulsar evolves with partner considerations in mind, supported by clear, well-structured documentation that captures feedback, decision rationale, implementation details, and ongoing learnings.

## Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related technical field.
- 3+ years of experience in a technical project management, engineering, or technical product role, preferably within the aerospace, defense, telecommunications, or GNSS industries.
- Demonstrated experience building and managing relationships with external stakeholders (including customers, suppliers, partners), while successfully driving complex projects from initiation through completion.
- Strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand and communicate complex engineering concepts related to GNSS, satellite navigation, resilient PNT, and satellite-based positioning technologies.
- Experience working with third-party device integrations, including simulators, receivers, and other user equipment.
- Exceptional communication skills. Fluent in French and English, with the ability to support both local and global partners.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with the confidence to navigate unstructured environments.

## About Xona Space Systems

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Xona Space Systems is building Pulsar, a high-integrity positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) constellation in Low Earth Orbit that delivers authenticated, centimeter-accurate services as a resilient alternative to GPS.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C – $170M raised ~April 2026)
- **Headquarters**: Burlingame, California, USA (also offices in Montreal, Canada and London, England)
- **Founded**: 2019
