This role officially transitions core enterprise system ownership out of legacy, ad-hoc structures (previously managed under Digital Manufacturing) and establishes a dedicated department built on extreme system ownership. You will lead a high-performing team of dedicated Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across core enterprise platforms (PLM, ERP, MES, Data/BI) alongside our internal Software Engineering organization (which builds custom internal web applications, including our engine testing solution and enterprise integration middleware). Day 1 leadership scope includes inheriting an established team (1x Product Owner, 2x Senior Software Developers, and a Manager of Digital Manufacturing transitioning to lead Enterprise Systems Integrations) alongside hiring dedicated Systems Engineers/Architects across PLM (Windchill), ERP (Odoo), MES (Critical Manufacturing), Atlassian, and Data Science/Analytics. As Ursa Major scales from 380 to 500+ employees and prepares for public-company operations, you will lead the evolution of our ERP (Odoo) into a public-company-ready platform. Over time, your organization will systematically absorb and professionalize adjacent business-critical systems-such as HighQA, Jama, Ignition, and Atlassian-building an integrated digital thread across ISA-95 levels and laying the technical foundation for a fully operational Digital Twin across our manufacturing facilities by EOY 2027., * Establish centralized ownership and serve as the executive authority for all business-critical enterprise platforms, enforcing to internal stakeholders that ESS provides dedicated SME ownership, administration, and support. * Lead the strategy to systematically absorb, integrate, and govern critical A&D enterprise tools, including HighQA (quality/inspection), Jama (requirements management), Ignition (SCADA/HMI), and Atlassian (collaboration) thereby creating single-point accountability for the software that runs the business. * Define system boundaries and single-source-of-truth data authority across PLM (Windchill), ERP (Odoo), MES (Critical Manufacturing), and shop-floor SCADA (Ignition) to eliminate data friction, manual rework, and audit risks. * Establish the strategic technical roadmap and execution plan to connect engineering design, materials planning, shop-floor execution, and engine test data into a fully integrated Digital Twin environment before EOY 2027. * Assume complete ownership of our ERP ecosystem (Odoo), transitioning it out of legacy Digital Manufacturing management, and architect its core inventory, Work-in-Progress (WIP) tracking, Average Costing mechanics, and financial reporting structures to support public-company standards. * Direct and mentor a multi-disciplinary department comprising Enterprise Systems Architects (PLM, ERP, MES, Atlassian), Data Scientists/Analysts, Software Engineers, Product Owners, and Integration Leads. * Guide the transition of our Digital Manufacturing Manager into leading a dedicated Enterprise Systems (ES) Integrations team, ensuring robust API middleware and secure data pipelines connect all internal systems. * Oversee internal software development initiatives, including our custom web-based engine testing platform, internal web portals, and operational tools. * Serve as the strategic digital partner across our geographic manufacturing footprint-aligning software and systems workflows across our Longmont headquarters, Berthoud (liquids manufacturing), Galeton (solids manufacturing), and Youngstown, OH (additive manufacturing) sites. * Collaborate with executive leaders across Propulsion Engineering, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Finance, and IT to unblock operational bottlenecks and align digital tooling with business velocity. * Partner with Finance to structure enterprise system implementations and internal software projects to qualify for internal-use software capitalization, building balance sheet asset value., Must be a U.S. Person (this includes U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents).
