Define the technical standard and architectural direction for M(V)NO connectivity, ensuring alignment across Skylo's network products
Rapidly diagnose, propose technical or product fixes, and drive the implementation with engineering for critical, high-stakes M(V)NO integration blockers or network-related issues
Own and influence the Technical Product Roadmap for key M(V)NO partners, defining required features and leading high-stakes technical engagements (e.g., with Tier-1 MNOs) to ensure native support for critical Skylo features within the M(V)NO network stack
Bridge business requirements and network reality by challenging M(V)NO partners on technical grounds to deliver performant and reliable network-based products
Qualification
Required
15+ years of related experience in product management, wireless systems engineering, or M(V)NO/Telco ecosystem engagements (or 12+ years with a Master's degree)
Expert-level knowledge of a M(V)NO end-to-end (E2E) stack and operational structure. This is a critical requirement
Deep understanding of the mobile wireless stack, telco network stack. You must be technically credible with Engineering
A rare ability to context-switch between technical deep-dives (e.g., analyzing M(V)NO network logs) and legal/commercial details (e.g., reviewing a Statement of Work, understanding how technical debt impacts legal deliverables)
A proven track record of influencing external partners. You have successfully negotiated and driven technical roadmaps within large, complex M(V)NO or Telco organizations
You are comfortable saying 'No.' You have the confidence to block a launch if M(V)NO integration quality criteria aren't met, regardless of commercial pressure
