YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly designs, sources, and manufactures spacecraft across a landscape of engineering and business systems — PLM, requirements/ALM, MBSE, and ERP — that today do not share a connected flow of product data. As Senior Manager of Digital Engineering, you will own the digital thread that changes this: the authoritative, traceable flow of product data across the entire lifecycle, and the internal platform and in-house software that make it real. Delivering this digital thread is a contractual requirement, so the mandate is concrete and the timeline is externally driven. This is a founding, hands-on leadership role — early on you will build the platform yourself and set its architecture and engineering patterns in code, while you hire and grow the software engineering team behind it, from early-career engineers to staff level, expanding as the mandate grows. As the team matures your hands-on share deliberately gives way to multiplying through others, but you stay close enough to the architecture to lead your engineers on the merits. The platform you build will give engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing one authoritative source of product data instead of manual exports and disconnected tools, with the auditability and traceability an ITAR/CUI environment demands. Integrations connect today's tools, which remain owned and administered by the teams that run them; over time, your team will build in-house systems of record wherever owning the software serves the company better than buying it.
