On-siteManagement$70k–$140k/yrFull-time

Hubble Network was founded with the intention of delivering on the promise of what Internet‑of‑Things (IoT) was supposed to be. We're building a global Bluetooth® network dedicated to machine‑to‑machine connectivity. We differentiate ourselves as the first modem‑less and gateway‑less, direct‑to‑satellite network from off‑the‑shelf Bluetooth® Low Energy chips. Hubble is ideal for applications in logistics, AgTech, and maritime where economies of scale for volume consumer and enterprise asset tracking is a priority. Our goal is to be the first billion‑endpoint‑connected network in the world. Hubble is an early‑stage, venture‑backed startup supported by top investors, with a founding team that has raised hundreds of millions in venture funding, developed the Amazon Sidewalk network, launched billions of dollars of space assets, and led teams to successful exits through acquisition and IPO.

About the role

We’re looking for an Inventory Control Technician to help lead execution across Hubble’s hardware teams—including our satellite constellation.

You’ll work closely with leaders across RF hardware, mechanical engineering, and R&D to translate schedule goals into clear deliverables. It’s a hands‑on, builder‑type position that moves between technical detail, customer insight, and company strategy without losing momentum. This is an on‑site, full‑time position.
