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) department works 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 (referred to as our Enterprise Applications) to keep the company organized, so we can move fast and get hardware into space.

As the Data Analyst of our Enterprise Applications, you will help us collect data, identify areas for improvement (such as cleaning up “bad” data), and perform analysis on data to interpret the health of the business from multiple angles. You will work with various teams to capture business processes and requirements and use that information to design solutions and proposals for process changes.
