## About the role

Firestorm is seeking a Configuration Manager to own product configuration across our aircraft platforms. Modularity is the core of what we build: swappable propulsion, quick-change payload and mission modules, interchangeable radios, sensors, and navigation suites, and airframes that can be printed at the point of need inside an xCell. That flexibility is our competitive advantage — and it multiplies the number of valid configurations we have to be able to define, build, deliver, and support.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- U.S. Citizenship required due to ITAR regulations
- 7+ years of configuration management, product data management, or engineering release experience in a hardware environment with real rigor (aerospace, defense, automotive, medical device, or similar)
- Demonstrated hands-on ownership of a formal change control process: ECR/ECO authoring, CCB facilitation, engineering release, and effectivity setting
- Working fluency with a PLM system (Arena, Teamcenter, Windchill, ENOVIA, Duro, or similar) and with CAD data management practices
- Strong command of EBOM and MBOM structures, indented BOMs, part numbering schemes, and revision control — including where the engineering and manufacturing views legitimately diverge
