About The Position

Astranis is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented PLM Analyst I to manage product data and engineering-change processes for spacecraft. This entry-level role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured technical work, problem-solving, and wants to understand the lifecycle of complex hardware. The analyst will collaborate with the PLM team and cross-functional partners in engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality. The primary responsibility is managing the intake, entry, routing, and quality review of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) to ensure all hardware changes are documented, reviewed, traceable, and ready for execution. This role is crucial for scaling systems and processes to enable faster and more reliable satellite production.

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.
U.S. Citizenship, Lawful Permanent Residency, or Refugee/Asylee Status Required.

Nice To Haves

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.

Responsibilities

Create, enter, maintain, and track Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and associated PLM records.
Review ECO submissions for completeness, accuracy, required documentation, and adherence to established standards.
Coordinate ECO routing, approvals, and follow-up across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and other cross-functional teams.
Proactively identify and resolve issues with stalled, incomplete, or inconsistent change requests.
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.
