Turion Space is a venture-backed space technology company building the infrastructure for in-space operations including satellite servicing, debris removal, and space domain awareness. We design, build, and operate spacecraft that extend the life and utility of assets already in orbit. Our team moves at startup speed with the rigor that spaceflight demands, and we're scaling fast across engineering, operations, and business functions.
As we continue to scale, we need the systems that run our business need to keep pace with the hardware we're putting into orbit.

• Partner with stakeholders across engineering, supply chain, finance, and operations to translate how work gets done into system workflows and configurations
• Administer and continuously improve the platform post-implementation, ensuring it scales with the business
• Identify gaps in the tooling landscape and lead efforts to close them whether through configuration, integration, or introducing new systems
• Serve as the internal expert on ERP and enterprise architecture, advising leadership on platform decisions, vendor selection, and long-term systems roadmap
• Document system architecture, integrations, and data flows to support auditability, onboarding, and institutional knowledge
Minimum Qualifications
• 6+ years of hands-on experience with ERP platforms in a manufacturing, aerospace, or defense environment
