Job Description

AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.

Position Overview

The Product Manager for the Platform Device Team owns end‑to‑end device platform readiness for satellite–cellular interoperability. This role ensures that commercial handsets, firmware builds, RF subsystems, automation agents, and OSS/CIQ configuration hooks mature to field‑ready performance levels required for satellite‑direct‑to‑device (D2D) services.

A key aspect of this role involves building and governing automated device‑testing capabilities—including Android app–based automation, ADB‑driven test configuration, remote log collection/parsing over Wi‑Fi or Ethernet, and frameworks for designing/executing automated UE tests at scale. The Product Manager will work closely with engineering teams to ensure automated systems accelerate readiness, improve repeatability, and reduce manual touchpoints.

You will coordinate across device OEMs, chipset vendors, RF labs, automation partners, acceptance teams, and satellite network engineering to guarantee that every device variant meets stringent performance, quality, and compliance gates for commercial launch.

This role blends deep technical product leadership, device‑ecosystem expertise, automation‑framework experience, and cross‑functional execution to bring next‑generation satellite connectivity to mass‑market smartphones.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of device engineering, automation tooling, and product leadership. The Product Manager must be comfortable collaborating with OEMs and chipset vendors while also working hands‑on with ADB, automation frameworks, and device‑side agents to validate readiness at scale.

The ability to design and orchestrate remote, automated device tests, including log capture, parsing, UE configuration, and test scheduling, is essential for accelerating readiness and ensuring reliability across diverse device variants and firmware states.
