SUMMARY
We are building rockets and moon landers and space-grade parts over here, yet none of this happens without reliable tools, innovative thinking, and collaboration. Firefly Aerospace is tackling problems in the “new space” market, which means we have opportunities to extract the best processes from “heritage space” development and combine that with today’s available technology to provide beautiful solutions for these challenges.
The Information Technology (IT) work together to support the flow of information between teams, build new software tools to make production more efficient, and supply various ways to share and distribute technical information to our customers and partners. We rely on several software products, including Atlassian tools (JIRA and Confluence), our ERP system (Odoo), various reporting platforms (Grafana, PowerBI) and more to keep us organized, so we can move fast and get hardware into space.
As the Collaboration Business Analyst, you will be responsible for the operation/administration of our Atlassian applications, ensuring our configuration meets the changing demands of the company as we continue to grow. This means connecting with different departments across the company and designing and implementing the solutions needed in the system.
