Configuration Manager

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Configuration Management Specialist to support and execute configuration control across Quantum Space programs. This role is critical to maintaining mission readiness and program execution velocity.

Responsibilities

• 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
• Maintain release of controlled documents and drawings for flight and ground systems — verifying completeness, correct revision status, and proper markings prior to release
• Own the day-to-day change control lifecycle — processing changes, managing document release, and maintaining configuration baselines
• 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

Requirements

• 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
