Company info

The What: As the Team Lead Product Engineer at Blackwave, you build and lead the team that turns our product concepts into real hardware. You guide a group of engineers developing advanced composite space tanks - ensuring ideas become scalable, high-performance products ready for manufacturing and flight.

You work hands-on with your team on day-to-day engineering challenges while translating company and department goals into clear team priorities. As the team grows, you shape its structure, strengthen collaboration across departments, and enable engineers to perform at their best. You are not just an expert engineer — you are the person who builds the team that delivers the product.
