About The Position
At Vast, our mission is to contribute to a future where billions of people are living and thriving in space. We are building artificial gravity space stations, allowing long-term stays in space without the adverse effects of zero-gravity. Our initial crewed space habitat will be Haven-1, scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station when it launches into low earth orbit in May 2026. Our team is all-in, committed to executing our mission safely and on time. If you want to work with the most talented people on Earth furthering space exploration for humanity, come join us. Vast is looking for a Change Manager reporting to the Senior Director, Flight Safety & Mission Assurance to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations. This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach, CA location. The Change Engineer will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a robust change management system to support the vehicle development lifecycle. As the organization builds complex hardware systems—starting with Haven-1—this role ensures that any modifications to design, hardware, or systems architecture (e.g., adding solar arrays, altering harnessing, or adjusting mass) are reviewed, communicated, and implemented efficiently without compromising the integrity of the project baseline. You will work closely with Engineering and cross-functional teams to evaluate proposed changes, communicate impacts, and ensure seamless implementation. Our goal is to embrace necessary change while maintaining stability and traceability within the program. A key focus will be creating a structured change process that minimizes disruption and ensures that technical, schedule, and resource implications are clearly understood and approved.
