A day in the life
As the Product Manager for the Kuiper satellite production, your primary focus is to ensure the data, reporting, and predictive insights are enabling the manufacturing teams to operate as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. This involves a varied set of tasks and activities throughout the day, all centered around aligning the analytics capabilities with the needs of the broader Kuiper organization.
A significant portion of your time is spent collaborating cross-functionally with stakeholders from hardware, software, supply chain, operations, and other teams. This includes leading regular meetings to review the latest production metrics, identify areas for improvement, and align on the roadmap for new analytics features and tools. You serve as the bridge between the technical implementation and the business requirements, translating complex data and insights into actionable plans.
Maintaining a strong understanding of the satellite production lifecycle is critical, so you regularly engage with the manufacturing, software and engineering teams to stay up-to-date on the challenges they are facing and the data-driven solutions that could help address them.
