## About the role

Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

## What they're looking for

- The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would
- You've owned release or configuration management for manufactured hardware: modules, vehicles, machinery, or similar serialized products
- You've administered ECOs across live production and know how to disposition a change across units already in build, sitting in inventory, and already shipped, including deciding effectivity and living with the consequences
- Your BOMs reconcile: as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained stay in sync because you keep them that way, not because nobody has checked
- You catch immature releases before the floor does: incomplete drawings, missing tolerances, and unspecified requirements don't get past you
- You've untangled an as-designed vs. as-built mess at a company scaling faster than its release discipline, and you know exactly what breaks when that discipline is missing
