Overview
As a Senior Product Manager on the Factory Systems team, you will be instrumental in certifying the world's first eVTOL aircraft and launching the world's first Urban Air Mobility service.

- Experience working with engineering teams on technical architecture decisions and implementation trade-offs
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
