Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly.
- Process Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), and Change Orders (COs) end-to-end — intake, classification, impact assessment routing, and tracking through approval and release
- Own release of controlled documents and drawings for flight and ground systems — verifying completeness, correct revision status, and proper markings prior to release
- Maintain configuration status accounting: baseline records, revision history, and open/closed change status across the configuration item structure
- Coordinate Interface Control Document (ICD) distribution and change coordination across engineering and program stakeholders
- Support Configuration Control Boards (CCBs) — prepare agendas and change packages, capture minutes, and track action items to closure
- Administer configuration management workflows in Windchill/PLM tooling, keeping lifecycle states and metadata aligned with the Configuration Management Plan (CMP)
- Apply correct CUI and export control (ITAR/EAR) markings to controlled technical data in accordance with contract and program requirements
- Partner closely with systems engineering, I&T, manufacturing, and software teams to keep change processing moving quickly without sacrificing control
- Support flight readiness reviews, test readiness reviews, and configuration audits with accurate baseline and change records.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- 3–6 years of experience in configuration management, document control, or engineering data management within aerospace or complex hardware programs
- Working knowledge of change control processes (ECR/ECN/CO) and configuration status accounting
- Hands-on experience with a PLM/document control tool (Windchill strongly preferred)
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, bills of material, and technical baselines
- Exceptional attention to detail and comfort operating within formal, auditable processes
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, including release notices and status reporting
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance
- Experience supporting flight programs through launch and on-orbit operations
- Familiarity with configuration management and documentation standards (e.g., EIA-649C, ASME Y14.100, MIL-STD-100, or DoD/NASA equivalents)
- Experience with ICD processes and multi-stakeholder distribution
- Familiarity with CUI, ITAR, and/or EAR marking requirements for controlled technical data
- Hands-on exposure to spacecraft manufacturing, integration, or test environments
- Experience working in small, fast-paced spacecraft or advanced hardware startups
- Ownership – Own the integrity of document control and release for Ranger Prime, ensuring the right hardware and software configurations fly, every time
- Impact – Directly support mission success by keeping the change pipeline accurate, traceable, and moving
- Velocity with Discipline – Enable rapid development without sacrificing control or traceability
- Growth – Deepen your CM expertise while working across engineering, manufacturing, and flight operations
- Compensation – Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, HSA, 401(k) matching, and equity sharing
