  • Technical specifications
  • Engineering systems and documentation
• Partner directly with engineering teams to assess technical content and determine appropriate export classifications.
• Provide clear compliance guidance while balancing regulatory requirements with business objectives.
• Support corporate investigations, audits, and compliance risk assessments.
• Develop, maintain, and improve export classification decision guides and internal compliance processes.
• Collaborate with Global Trade Controls, Legal, and cross-functional stakeholders on complex or high-risk export matters.
• Navigate ambiguity and make sound decisions in a high-volume environment with competing priorities.

Required Qualifications

• Experience supporting export compliance programs governed by EAR and ITAR regulations.
• Knowledge of export classification methodologies, including ECCN and USML determinations.
• Ability to analyze complex technical information and apply regulatory requirements appropriately.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience partnering with engineering or technical teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace, defense, aviation, manufacturing, or technology industry experience.
• Experience classifying engineering drawings, software, source code, materials, or technical systems.
• Familiarity with Global Trade Controls programs and compliance investigations.
• Experience developing process improvements, guidance documentation, or training materials.
