Job Description: The Configuration and Change Control Manager is a senior individual contributor responsible for owning configuration discipline for the fielded V-BAT fleet, including aircraft, payloads, software, ground equipment, support equipment, and customer-specific configurations. This role ensures Shield AI maintains an accurate, traceable, and controlled understanding of what hardware, software, payload, and ground system configurations are deployed, which changes apply to which aircraft or customers, and how approved fixes, retrofits, releases, and service actions are controlled through execution. This position is critical to preventing configuration confusion across aircraft serial numbers, hardware revisions, software versions, payload variants, ground equipment configurations, fielded modifications, maintenance releases, and customer-specific baselines. The Configuration and Change Control Manager partners closely with Fleet Support, Sustainment Engineering, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Customer Success, Operations, and Configuration Management to ensure changes are documented, approved, communicated, traceable, and deployed to the correct assets. The role requires strong process discipline, technical fluency, attention to detail, and the ability to drive cross-functional accountability without direct authority.
