Full-Time, In-office, must be willing to commute to Lafayette, Colorado.

About EOI Space

EOI Space is building a next-generation satellite constellation in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to deliver the highest-resolution Earth imagery available from space. Flying lower than traditional satellites lets us capture sharper, more timely data, giving commercial and defense customers a clearer picture of a rapidly changing world, faster than ever before.

Based in Lafayette, Colorado, we’re a small, mission-driven team moving fast to bring this capability to market. As we scale toward Series B and beyond, we’re looking for people who want real ownership over their function and see the undefined parts of this stage as the opportunity, not the obstacle.

About the Role

We are seeking a Program Controls Coordinator to serve as the right hand of our Chief Engineer/Technical Program Manager (CE/TPM). Working alongside the responsible engineers for each subsystem, you’ll keep visibility on the critical path, expedite material and information, and make sure open items never stall while waiting on a response. It’s a support role today, but one involved in every major program decision, with room to grow technically and into programmatic leadership. We’re looking for someone who is effective with the systems available rather than dependent on a particular platform, and who thrives in a fast-paced environment where process is often still being established. Travel is expected to be under 10%. This role reports to the Chief Engineer/Technical Program Manager.

This is a full-time, exempt, in-office position based in Lafayette, Colorado.

Responsibilities

Support the CE/TPM in developing and maintaining the program schedule; maintain visibility into the critical path and drive closure of activities on it.
Collect subsystem status and produce complete, accurate status reports; organize status meetings and reviews, including scheduling, material assembly, and distribution.
Track bill of materials (BOM) and drawing release status so parts can be identified and placed on order without delay.
Enter purchase requisitions and track them through approval, purchase order placement, and confirmed delivery dates.
Maintain the shortage list, track long-lead items, and support resolution of procurement issues.
Partner daily with responsible engineers and the CE/TPM to advance execution: obtain outstanding answers, resolve blocking issues, and convene the right stakeholders when a matter needs discussion.
Help maintain the risk and opportunity (R&O) register and follow up with the team on mitigation activities.
Capture notes in working sessions and reviews, publish action items with owners and due dates, and follow up through closure.
Own monthly Estimate to Complete (ETC) tracking: reconcile estimates against actuals, maintain the forecast, and report cost position and variances to the CE/TPM.
Track submission status for launch deliverables.
Escalate schedule, cost, or scope slips to the CE/TPM as they emerge rather than waiting for scheduled reviews.
Recommend improvements to the metrics and reporting used to track program execution.
Additional duties as assigned
