The future of aerospace and defense starts here.

Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.

At Ursa Major, the journey to space starts with the engines. Behind every engine is the data and software that powers smarter decisions and continuous improvement. We're growing our internal software capabilities to accelerate how we design, build, and test rocket engines, to fly faster.

We're looking for a Product Owner to drive the development and evolution of in-house, Palantir Foundry based data visibility tooling.

The role will be working with internal stakeholders to understand their data intelligence needs and translate those needs into actionable requirements for software engineers. This role will ensure that Ursa Major is creating business intelligence out of the data that our software systems capture.
