The ideal candidate will bring a strong mix of technical depth, organizational leadership, and hands-on program management experience to drive excellence throughout the product lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, manage, and execute comprehensive project plans—including schedules, budgets, deliverables, and resource allocation.
• Lead engineering design and development activities, ensuring compliance with all program, customer, and regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate across engineering, operations, quality, and supply chain to align technical priorities and deliver results on time and within scope.
• Identify and mitigate project risks, ensuring technical integrity and schedule performance.
• Serve as the primary liaison between internal teams and customer engineering groups to ensure clear communication and alignment on technical deliverables.
• Prepare and deliver project status updates, performance metrics, and milestone reviews to leadership and external stakeholders.
• Ensure all project work adheres to AS9100, ITAR, and other applicable aerospace standards.
• Support manufacturing readiness reviews, design for manufacturability improvements, and product transition to production.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance process efficiency, engineering accuracy, and program execution.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems, or related discipline) required; advanced degree preferred.
• 3–7 years of progressive experience in aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing leading engineering or cross-functional projects.
• Proven track record delivering complex projects from concept through production while ensuring compliance with technical, quality, and schedule requirements.
• Strong understanding of aerospace manufacturing processes, including machining, composites, and assembly operations.
• Experience using project management tools such as Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or Jira.
• Knowledge of configuration management, documentation control, and compliance frameworks (AS9100, ISO, ITAR).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to interface effectively across engineering, operations, and leadership teams.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience leading new product development (NPD) or sustainment engineering programs within aerospace or defense.
• Familiarity with CAD/PLM systems such as CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, or Teamcenter.
• Exposure to hypersonic structures, launch vehicle assemblies, or propulsion systems.
• Understanding of Earned Value Management (EVM) principles or equivalent program performance tracking methodologies.
