Loft's AI for Space group is building the stack that runs real machine learning in orbit; turning raw sensor data into decisions on the satellite itself, so insight reaches the customer in minutes instead of hours.
Requirements
7+ years of professional experience, including hands-on product management.
Domain experience in at least one of: earth observation, embedded systems, aerospace systems, security & defense.
Comfort at both ends of the spectrum — understand the market, and the technology
Structured and data-driven: you bring your experience and your intuitions, but when you put a recommendation on the table you can show the analysis it stands on.
Real product obsession: you think about the bigger picture and product-market fit before you think about features.
Relentless curiosity. In a single month you might move from a satellite bus constraint, to onboard AI inference, to a defense accreditation requirement — and you need to find that stimulating rather than exhausting.
High autonomy and a bias for action: handed a broad perimeter, you organize it yourself and come back with a plan.
At ease being challenged, and challenging others, in a fast-moving and demanding environment.
Working knowledge of both hardware and software development lifecycles.
Proficient using and configuring Atlassian tools (Jira and Confluence).
Fluency in English, written and spoken.
Willingness to travel to other Loft offices and to customers.
Fluency in French.
Experience with AI/ML products, edge computing, or developer and partner platforms and ecosystems.
Experience with satellite operations, constellation services, or ground segment products.
Exposure to institutional and defense customers and their procurement cycles.
Experience in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial NewSpace company or venture-backed deep-tech startup.
Professional experience working with international teams across time zones.
