Observable Space jobs

Observable Space, a vertically integrated space technology company building precision optics platforms trusted by NASA, SpaceX, and the DoD, is seeking a Director of Field Operations to lead installation, commissioning, maintenance, and technical support across its global customer base from offices in Los Angeles, Detroit, or Adrian, Michigan. The role combines strategic leadership—building scalable processes, developing field teams, and defining quality standards—with hands-on execution, including direct customer engagement, site visits, and serving as an escalation point for service issues. You'll own workforce planning and geographic coverage as the installed base expands, partner with engineering and sales to evolve service models, and drive the financial performance of field operations through revenue optimization and cost management. Required experience includes deep background in field operations or field service management with proven team leadership, ideally supporting deployed precision hardware systems; a technical degree in Engineering or Operations is preferred, along with solid business acumen and exceptional communication skills. The role requires significant global travel to customer sites and company offices, and Observable Space is backed by top-tier investors (Lux Capital, Upfront Ventures, RTX Ventures), offering competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits in a fast-growing, mission-driven environment. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity to build a global field operations organization from the ground up as the company scales its installed base.

Observable Space seeks a strategic International Sales Director to lead business development and revenue growth across government, defense, and commercial space markets. The role requires 10+ years of aerospace/defense sales experience, managing complex international procurement, and building senior-level relationships. Location is Europe-preferred; compensation and equity not specified.
