Product Lead – Satellite & Mobile Networks

3M Consultancy
Chantilly, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/16/2026

Job Summary:

We’re looking for a Product Manager with deep expertise in mobile core networks to help shape the future of next-generation wireless connectivity. In this role, you’ll act as the bridge between business goals and technical execution—translating customer needs into product requirements that drive development across 3GPP technologies like GSM, LTE, and 5G.

You’ll work closely with internal teams (engineering, BD, and technical accounts) and external partners (especially MNOs) to define how new technologies—such as 3GPP-compliant non-terrestrial networks (NTN)—can be adapted to meet real-world connectivity demands. Ultimately, your work will guide the development of a user-facing platform or API that enables mobile network operators to customize and reconfigure networks on the fly.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Translate business needs into clear technical requirements for the product and engineering teams.

  • Collaborate with business development, technical account managers, and engineering teams to bring services from concept to launch.

  • Engage with mobile network operators (MNOs) to communicate network architecture and gather insights.

  • Lead product development for mobile core networks, while maintaining an understanding of RAN network products.

  • Develop and execute end-to-end service test plans, and assist with troubleshooting.

  • Investigate customer-reported issues and provide clear root cause analysis and feedback loops.

  • Work cross-functionally to ensure the voice of the customer is represented across technical and non-technical teams.

  • Occasional travel (~25%) to meet partners and support deployments.


What You Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related field.

  • 10 years of experience in the wireless or telecom industry, ideally with operators or network vendors.

  • Deep understanding of mobile network protocols like SS7, DIAMETER, IMS, VoLTE, SMPP, and broadcast/messaging systems.

  • Experience translating customer use cases into technical product roadmaps.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work fluidly across technical and business teams.

  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments with some ambiguity.


Nice to Have:

  • Hands-on experience with roaming implementations or messaging aggregation platforms.

  • Knowledge of RF systems and access methods.

  • Familiarity with tools like JIRA, Confluence, and agile workflows.

  • Experience working with international teams or global partners.

  • An MBA or similar advanced degree is a plus.
