Manage the end-to-end change control lifecycle, including processing ECRs, ECNs, and COs to ensure data integrity. Maintain configuration baselines and controlled documentation for flight and ground systems using PLM tools.
Requirements
Requires a Bachelor's degree in a technical field and 3-6 years of configuration management experience in aerospace or complex hardware. Must be proficient with PLM tools like Windchill and capable of obtaining a U.S. Security Clearance.
Full job description
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.
Who We're Looking For
We are seeking an experienced Configuration Management Specialist to support and execute configuration control across Quantum Space programs. You will own the day-to-day change control lifecycle — processing changes, managing document release, and maintaining configuration baselines — ensuring traceability, change control, and data integrity as the programs move from development through flight. This role is critical to maintaining mission readiness and program execution velocity.
Where You'll Make an Impact
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.
What It Takes
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
Nice-to-Have Experience
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
What You'll Get
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
Location: Rockville, MD or Hawthorne, CA
Base Salary: $100,000 - $150,000
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Quantum Space's total compensation package.
Additional Requirements
To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual per 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
Apply now. Join us in building the next generation of spacecraft.
