Facility Manager
Who we are:
EOI Space is developing and deploying a network of satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to provide ultra-high-resolution Earth imagery. We aim to deliver timely and actionable data for commercial and defense applications.
We are on our way to achieving many industry firsts. This demands an ambitious team that thrives on challenges, takes ownership, and collaborates deeply.

Manage cleanroom facilities and ensure compliance with contamination control standards
Coordinate facility readiness for satellite Assembly, Integration, and Test (AI&T) operations
Develop and manage preventive maintenance schedules, vendor contracts, and service agreements
Establish and maintain safety, EHS, and facility compliance programs (local, state, and federal)
Plan and execute capital improvement projects, including layout optimization, equipment moves, and infrastructure upgrades
Manage stocking, procurement, and vendor relations for all disposable and consumable materials required in the facility
Build and lead the facilities staff team
Manage relationships with landlords, contractors, and internal stakeholders to balance cost, schedule, and technical performance
Supervise facilities staff, technicians, and external service providers
Support budgeting, forecasting, and procurement for facilities operations
Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, and AI&T to ensure facility capabilities align with production and program requirements
Establish and manage the facilities stakeholder group and ensure the concerns and needs of the team utilizing the space are translated to directly supported actions
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Facilities Management, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline (advanced degree preferred) or 8+ years of experience managing facilities in aerospace, defense, or similarly regulated high-tech industries
Demonstrated success leading complex facility operations with multiple specialized environments (cleanrooms, test labs, manufacturing, etc.)
Strong knowledge of building systems (HVAC, electrical, mechanical, compressed air, and process gases)
Proven ability to manage competing priorities and stakeholders in a dynamic, high-growth environment
Experience with CAPEX planning, vendor management, and facility expansion or relocation projects
Working knowledge of EHS standards, OSHA regulations, and industrial safety practices
Exceptional communication, organization, and leadership skills
Preferred Qualifications:
Prior experience managing space-industry facilities with environmental test infrastructure
Familiarity with precision machining environments (CNC, metrology, inspection)
Certification in facilities management (CFM, FMP, or equivalent)
Experience with CMMS or digital maintenance tracking systems
Compensation:
The salary range for this role is $130,000 - $170,000 per year, depending on previous experience. Pay ranges are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data.
