US Export Control Officer

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We are looking for a US Export Control Officer to own the day-to-day execution of U.S. export controls at TEC US LLC. In this role, you will make clear, practical, and well-documented decisions on the handling of controlled hardware, software, and technical data, while helping teams move quickly without creating compliance risk.

You will work at the intersection of engineering, digital tools, procurement, legal, and operations. You will lead U.S. export-control execution for TEC US LLC, partner closely with the other Export Control Officers on cross-jurisdiction matters, and build the discipline, records, and training needed to keep the company audit-ready as programs scale.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

In this role, you will be responsible for the legally compliant and operationally effective execution of U.S. export controls across TEC US LLC. Day-to-day responsibilities will include:

- Act as the U.S. export-control decision owner for controlled events, including first releases, new recipients or countries, access changes, travel access, external collaboration, scope changes, and incidents.

- Review, validate, or escalate jurisdiction and classification outcomes with technical data owners before external release, expanded internal access, or new collaboration scope is approved.

- Own U.S. licensing and authorization activity, including applicability analysis, preparation and filing support, conditions tracking, reporting obligations, and coordination with government authorities when needed.

- Operate the export-control decision workflow in Zendesk with complete required fields, clear legal rationale, and a traceable record of assumptions, approvals, and restrictions.

- Ensure approved collaboration paths are followed,...
