Full Job Description
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U. S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. 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. Responsibilities Spacecraft a
