Technical Data & Configuration Manager

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and administer engineering change control, including Engineering Change Requests/Proposals, deviations, waivers, revision control, approvals, Configuration Control Boards, configuration status accounting, and change authorization.
• Maintain traceability between requirements, configuration items, technical documentation, interfaces, verification evidence, and customer deliverables, ensuring documentation accurately reflects the as-designed, as-built, as-tested, and as-delivered configuration of each platform.
• Coordinate the controlled release of CAD models, engineering drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, BOMs, Interface Control Documents, software documentation, specifications, and test records, identifying and resolving inconsistencies between engineering disciplines and physical configurations.
• Own the technical document register and engineering information structure, including numbering systems, metadata, naming conventions, approvals, revisions, permissions, and archival requirements.
• Manage Interface Control Documents across mechanical, electrical, network, data, software/API, autonomy, payload, and command-and-control interfaces. Support Marcurius' Modular Open Systems Approach by ensuring modular boundaries, open interfaces, APIs, schemas, messaging structures, and third-party integration points are clearly defined and controlled.
• Coordinate the preparation, review, approval, packaging, and formal release of contractual technical data submissions to US Government and other customers. Maintain an authoritative record of data delivered, including revision, configuration applicability, contractual requirement, and delivery date.
• Maintain clear separation between Government-deliverable data, Marcurius proprietary information, third-party intellectual property, supplier-controlled information, and other restricted technical information.
• Support technical and configuration audits, design reviews, production-readiness reviews, test-readiness reviews, and customer reviews.
• Work across Engineering, Manufacturing, Test & Evaluation, Operations, Program Management, suppliers, and customers to maintain a coherent technical baseline and support prototype-to-production transition.
• Establish practical technical-data standards, templates, procedures, and training that provide rigorous configuration control without creating unnecessary bureaucracy or slowing rapid engineering development.
• Challenge incomplete, inconsistent, uncontrolled, or inadequately documented engineering work and drive corrective action with the relevant technical owners.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, systems engineering, configuration management, information management, or a related technical discipline; significant equivalent Defense or aerospace experience will also be considered.
• 7+ years' experience in configuration management, technical data management, systems engineering support, engineering information management, or a closely related discipline within a complex engineering environment.
• Demonstrated experience establishing or managing engineering configuration baselines for complex hardware/software systems.
• Strong knowledge of engineering change management, configuration identification, status accounting, baseline management, revision control, and change authorization.
• Experience managing multidisciplinary engineering data, including CAD, drawings, BOMs, schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, software records, interface documentation, and verification evidence.
• Sufficient systems-engineering knowledge to understand and challenge relationships between requirements, architectures, interfaces, hardware, software, and verification.
• Strong technical writing and information-structuring skills, with demonstrated ability to work across Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Systems, Manufacturing, Test, and Program Management teams.
• Exceptional attention to detail, confidence to challenge insufficient configuration or documentation discipline, and ability to operate effectively within a fast-moving prototype and product-development environment.
• Eligibility to work on US Defense programs and handle controlled technical information as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting US Department of Defense programs and Government technical-data submissions, including Technical Data Packages, CDRLs, Data Item Descriptions, Government acceptance processes, and technical-data rights.
• Knowledge of Modular Open Systems Approach principles, open-system architectures, Interface Control Documents, software APIs, data schemas, messaging structures, network architectures, and hardware/software integration.
• Experience using Product Lifecycle Management, Product Data Management, Configuration Management, requirements-management, or engineering document-management systems.
• Experience controlling both hardware and software configurations within autonomous systems, robotics, aerospace, maritime systems, Defense electronics, or complex mission systems.
• Knowledge of intellectual-property markings, export controls, and Controlled Unclassified Information requirements.
• Experience supporting prototype-to-production transition, formal configuration audits, or establishing a configuration-management or technical-data function within a growing engineering organization.
• Relevant Configuration Management or Systems Engineering professional certification.
