Our team advances manufacturing processes and materials to support the most challenging missions in the galaxy: re-entry from space, interplanetary travel, hypersonic weapons, and more. Canopy's product lines are centered around technical ceramic components needed to withstand heat, corrosive environments, and the harshness of space.

This position will report directly to Canopy's Chief Commercial Officer and play an instrumental role in building transformative solutions for public sector missions.
You're not afraid to challenge assumptions around government contracting or propose new ways of doing business – in 2024, the government is more willing than ever to take creative approaches to contracting, scoping, and execution. You're willing to roll up your sleeves and do what it takes to win; our small team prides itself on being scrappy.
