Spectrum Manager
Airbase builds software that automates commercial and federal RF spectrum management, licensing, coordination, and intelligence. The people who run spectrum inside the FCC, NTIA, or Department of War spend their days on manual frequency assignments, equipment spectrum certifications, host nation coordination, and interference resolution. Much of that work still moves through legacy systems and manual processes. We are turning it into software that is fast, automated, and trustworthy.
The Spectrum Manager is a current or former DoW spectrum manager, or a close equivalent, who can sit in three seats at once: domain expert, product partner who shapes what we build, and a customer-facing voice. This is a founding-team role with real ownership and equity.
What you will do
The role is an even split across three areas:
Domain and technical
Serve as an authority on DoW spectrum management, including frequency assignment, electronic attack, deconfliction, DD-1494 equipment spectrum certification, host nation coordination, range planning, and interference resolution.
Pressure-test coordination logic and propagation modeling, and help in the development of more automated processes for each step in the process.
Product
Partner with engineering and product to translate spectrum workflows into the roadmap. You will be both a leader and a builder.
Write requirements, edge cases, code, and acceptance criteria.
Help design integrations with the government systems that spectrum managers already live in.
Business development
Build credibility with spectrum stakeholders across the services, the Defense Spectrum Organization, combatant command frequency management offices, DISA, J6/MC4EB, NTIA, and the FCC.
Sit across the table from customers and end-users in demos, RFI responses, pilots, and requirements shaping.
Required Qualifications
7+ years of experience in spectrum management
5+ years of combined military and contractor experience
Logistics
Location: Washington, DC, NYC, or Remote (with travel to NYC and DC regularly).
Clearance: Active TS/SCI is a strong plus. Eligibility to obtain a US Security clearance required.
Compensation: Competitive salary, plus equity, and full benefits. Salary will depend on qualifications and experience level.
