Senior Project Manager - Configuration Management

Astranis is on a mission to bridge the digital divide by connecting the four billion people worldwide who currently lack internet access. We're doing this by building the next generation of smaller, more cost-effective spacecraft to bring the world online. As a team, we’ve launched two satellites into orbit,  signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $500 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 300 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we’re very excited for the impact we’ll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more! Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career. Apply and join us on our journey towards global connectivity!As the first Project Manager for configuration management at Astranis, you will be responsible for developing and implementing configuration management best practices across the company. In this role, you will:drive document control within Arena PLMwork with engineers across the company to ensure required design and document revisions are prioritized to meet program needsdevelop solutions to automate configuration management processes and enhance integrations with Altium and Solidworksevaluate current list of configuration-controlled parts and equipment, identify gaps and implement solutionstrack project configurations and ensure changes are flagged appropriatelywork closely with supply chain to coordinate release timing of Astranis engineering drawingsRequirementsBS in Engineering or similar>2 years in a configuration management roleStrong communication skillsHighly detail orientedProven ability to work in an ambiguous, fast paced environment, overcome obstacles with creative solutions, and clearly document/communicate tactical plansExperience implementing and managing configuration management systems at an aerospace, automotive or similar established companyExperience with industry PLM and configuration management tools and systemsBonusFamiliarity with Jira, Altium, Altium Enterprise On-Prem, Solidworks, ArenaWhat we offer: All our positions offer a compensation package that includes equity and robust benefits.Base pay is a single component of Astranis's total rewards package, which may also include equity in the form of incentive stock options, high quality company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance benefits, flexible PTO, 401(K) retirement, and free on-site catered meals.Astranis pay ranges are informed and defined through professional-grade salary surveys and compensation data sources.
