• Review ECO submissions for completeness, accuracy, required documentation, and adherence to established naming, revision-control, and release standards
• Coordinate ECO routing, approvals, and follow-up across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and other cross-functional teams
• Proactively identify stalled, incomplete, or inconsistent change requests and work with stakeholders to keep them moving
• Support the release and revision of parts, assemblies, drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and related engineering documentation
• Develop and maintain reports, dashboards, and metrics for ECO throughput, backlog, cycle time, and data quality

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, supply chain, manufacturing, information systems, or another related technical field-or equivalent relevant experience.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a demonstrated ability to perform high-accuracy, process-driven work.
• Strong organizational, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Comfort working with structured data, spreadsheets, and technical documentation.
• Ability to manage multiple requests, prioritize effectively, and follow defined
• processes.
• A collaborative approach and comfort working with technical and operational stakeholders.
• Curiosity about how physical products are designed, documented, released, and built.

Bonus

• Professional experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, operations, supply chain, quality, or configuration-management teams.
• Familiarity with product lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), document-control, ticketing, or workflow-management systems.
• Exposure to engineering drawings, BOMs, part numbers, revisions, or change-control processes.
• Interest in aerospace, satellites, or complex hardware development.

Base pay is just one component of Astranis's total rewards package.
