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.
