PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * Experience building, extending, or integrating PLM, ERP, manufacturing execution (MES), requirements/ALM, or MBSE systems. * Experience migrating an organization from an off-the-shelf system to in-house software, including data migration and user adoption. * Strong product sense and experience working directly with engineering, manufacturing, or operations users. * Familiarity with digital thread / digital engineering concepts and product-lifecycle data. * Experience with Go and building products from an early stage. * Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform), GitOps, and CI/CD. * Background in aerospace, defense, or another regulated, hardware-driven domain. ## Description Architecture & Design * Design the domain data models and workflows for in-house systems of record - parts, revisions, BOMs, change orders, and as-built records - with lifecycle states and end-to-end traceability. * Architect the services, APIs, integrations, and event-driven data flows that connect our applications with the off-the-shelf tools they work alongside and, over time, replace. * Own significant parts of the network, infrastructure, and security design, including role-based access and audit for export-controlled data. Technical Execution * Build and ship full-stack applications end to end - data model, services and APIs, workflow, and web user interface - and operate them in production. * Plan and execute migrations from off-the-shelf tools to in-house software: data migration, parallel operation, and cutover, without breaking traceability. * Build in observability, auditability, sync health, and data-quality checks as first-class features. * Set and uphold engineering standards - code quality, testing, reviews, and technical documentation. Leadership & Collaboration * Mentor senior and early-career engineers and raise the technical bar across the team. * Work directly with engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing users to understand real workflows and ship software that fits them. * Partner with the teams that own today's engineering and business systems to design integrations and plan migrations that respect how those systems are run., * This role operates in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment supporting national security space operations, where adaptability and rapid decision-making are essential. * Requires coordination across distributed teams, including engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and government partners. * May require participation in an on-call and support rotation to keep our software reliable in production. * Occasional travel to other company sites, government sites, or partner locations may be required. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS * Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance. * Work Location: this role is onsite at our facilities in Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA. #LI-Onsite * Work environment is a standard office setting, working at a desk or on a production factory floor. * Physical demands may include frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting or carrying items up to 20 lbs. * This position will be open until it is successfully filled.
