Staff Technical Product Manager, Configuration Management

Relativity Space•Long Beach, CA

1d•$175,000 - $263,000

About The Position

Relativity Space is developing the Terran R launch vehicle to meet demand for launch capacity and support future advances in science, exploration, and innovation. The Reliability team works with design, manufacturing, test, and launch teams to build quality and reliability into the Terran R design and production process, while establishing scalable processes, controls, and systems as the program moves toward production and scaled operations. The Staff Technical Product Manager, Configuration Management will own the strategy, architecture, and evolution of enterprise-wide configuration management systems and workflows supporting the Terran R program. The role combines technical product management, systems engineering, and software integration to ensure product configuration accuracy, engineering change control, and end-to-end traceability across design, manufacturing, test, and launch.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline.
8+ years of experience in technical product management, systems engineering, software engineering, or a related technical role within an advanced manufacturing or complex hardware development environment.
Deep understanding of configuration management principles, including engineering change control, BOM management, product structures, revision control, and configuration baselines.
Experience designing, implementing, or integrating enterprise systems such as PLM, ERP, or MES, with a strong understanding of engineering data flows across manufacturing and supply chain operations.
Proficiency in programming languages or technical tools such as Python, SQL, JavaScript, Java, or C#, and ability to understand system architecture, data models, and integration requirements.
Demonstrated ability to lead complex cross-functional technical initiatives, influence stakeholders, and develop scalable solutions that balance engineering rigor with operational efficiency.

Nice To Haves

Experience with configuration management systems and processes in aerospace, defense, automotive, or other highly regulated manufacturing environments.
Familiarity with PLM platforms such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, or Dassault Systèmes ENOVIA.
Experience developing automated engineering change workflows, integrating enterprise applications through APIs, or building custom configuration management tools.
Knowledge of configuration management standards and best practices, including AS9100, EIA-649, or related aerospace quality requirements.

Responsibilities

Define and own the technical strategy, roadmap, and architecture for configuration management systems and workflows, ensuring scalability, reliability, and alignment with engineering, manufacturing, and business requirements.
Architect and optimize end-to-end configuration management processes, including engineering change management, product structure and bill of materials (BOM) management, revision control, configuration baselines, and product lifecycle traceability.
Lead development and integration of enterprise systems, including PLM, ERP, and MES platforms, to establish a consistent and accurate source of product configuration data across the organization.
Partner with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, reliability, and software teams to translate technical and operational requirements into scalable software solutions that improve efficiency, data integrity, and change execution.
Drive automation and digital transformation initiatives that streamline engineering change workflows, eliminate manual processes, and improve visibility into product configurations throughout the hardware lifecycle.
Establish and enforce configuration management standards, data governance practices, and change control processes to ensure consistency, traceability, and compliance across the Terran R program.
