YOUR MISSION
The Corporate Counsel, Spacecraft Licensing will serve as True Anomaly's primary in-house legal authority on spacecraft and ground station licensing, owning the preparation, submission, and management of license applications before the FCC, NOAA, and other applicable regulatory bodies. This role reports to the Senior Associate General Counsel and is a key member of a small, collaborative legal department.
Spacecraft licensing is the core of this role. You will lead the legal aspects of the company's spacecraft and ground station licensing efforts across all missions, working closely with systems engineering, mission operations, and communications teams to translate technical requirements into complete, timely, and defensible regulatory filings. You will manage license portfolios, track compliance obligations, and serve as the go-to resource for stakeholders across the company on licensing requirements and timelines.
Beyond licensing, you will also support general corporate legal functions — reviewing and negotiating contracts, advising internal clients, and contributing to the legal department's broader workload. The ideal candidate is energized by the opportunity to own a specialized regulatory function while also operating as a versatile member of a lean legal team.
