Обязанности
- Apex is looking for an Engineering Configuration & Change Manager to own the integrity and evolution of our product designs and operational systems. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, operations, and production- acting as the control layer that ensures every change is tracked, assessed, and executed without breaking what's already working. You'll govern how we manage BOMs, implement design changes, and coordinate high-stakes operational updates across satellites, ground systems, and infrastructure. You're the person who makes sure we move fast without losing traceability, scalability, or reliability.
- Establish Change Management policies, standards, and governance frameworks
- Own and maintain product BOM structures and configuration baselines
- Lead Change Control Board meetings and process
- Perform impact analysis and risk assessment for all engineering changes
- Coordinate ECO implementation across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams
- Drive configuration audits to verify hardware-software-documentation alignment across production units
- Analyze change-related incidents and drive corrective actions to reduce failure rates and impacts
- Resolve conflicts between competing priorities and schedule changes to avoid operational disruptions
- Partner with supply chain to ensure BOMs are executable and changes don't create procurement risks
- Identify automation opportunities to improve workflow efficiency and reduce manual governance overhead
- Act as the bridge between design, production, operations, and test to ensure continuous improvement

- Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.
- For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.
- Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.
- We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.
