E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.


We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.


What is the role:

This person will be responsible for creating and implementing successful strategies to achieve our government services business objectives. This position reports to the VP of Global Affairs and is eligible for remote work across the United States.

What you will do:

  • Day-to-day representation as it pertains to Defense authorization and appropriations on Capitol Hill and with Executive agencies
  • Support internal Government Services team with respect to business objectives with the Pentagon and Intelligence agencies
  • Grow and maintain network of relationships with Congressional members and staff relating to strategic business opportunities in the defense sector
  • Draft legislative language and testimony related to objectives
  • Monitor legislation and hearings and report internally

What you bring to this role:

  • Knowledge of space/satellite services industry
  • Knowledge of satellite systems and defense/Intelligence Community programs
  • Knowledge of U.S. federal contracting and acquisition practice

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
