As Software Release Manager at Impulse, you will own the end-to-end software release process for spacecraft software. You are responsible for ensuring the right software ships to the right systems at the right time with confidence in quality and functionality. This is a process and schedule-focused role that is technically grounded but does not involve writing production code.
Key responsibilities include:
- Define and manage release plans aligned with program integration milestones
- Work with software developers and test teams to track development progress, ensure adequate test coverage, and validate positive test results
- Manage release artifacts including build packages, release notes, known issues, and customer-facing documentation
- Follow, enforce, and continuously improve software development process documentation
- Define comprehensive test plans covering functional, integration, system, and user acceptance testing
- Monitor, configure, and manage static analysis tools, code coverage metrics, and other quality assurance tools
- Define metrics and dashboards for monitoring software quality and release process health
You will need to understand build systems, CI/CD pipelines, and test infrastructure well enough to diagnose issues, drive improvements, and hold engineering teams accountable to release standards. This role bridges technical depth with program management discipline.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering or other technical discipline
- 3+ years of demonstrated experience in release management, release engineering, or related technical program management role
- Demonstrated experience owning software release processes for products with multiple hardware platforms and software variants
- Working knowledge of Git, CI/CD pipelines, build automation, and release versioning
- Demonstrated experience writing test plans and tracking results
- Demonstrated proficiency in Python, C, or C++ languages
