Original job description

About the Role

Own the capability for integrated architecture, cross-disciplinary technical decisions, design maturity, and product-level technical risk for a single platform. Partner with functional engineering leaders rather than replacing their subsystem ownership.

Key Responsibilities

Chief Engineer Leadership:

Define delegated technical decision rights, architecture ownership, design maturity expectations, and escalation thresholds. Review and challenge product technical risk assessments, readiness recommendations, and architectural decisions; resolve cross-product conflicts.

Systems Architecture and Technical Integration:

Guide system decomposition, hardware/software/autonomy partitioning, interfaces, performance budgets, trade studies, and architecture baselines. Drive modular, reusable platform architectures while allowing product-specific tradeoffs. Work with Hardware, Software, and Aero and Autonomy leaders to resolve integration issues and maintain discipline-level design ownership.

Technical Maturity and Portfolio Leadership:

Establish lightweight, evidence-based design reviews (e.g., PDR/CDR where appropriate), technical baselines, and risk registers. Lead cross-product technical health reviews and provide concise readiness/risk recommendations to the VP of Engineering. Partner with Product Management on technical realization of customer needs and Program Management on schedule/technical tradeoffs. AI-native engineering and builder mindset

Personally use approved AI tools to accelerate architecture exploration, trade-study preparation, interface analysis, technical research, design-review preparation, and engineering knowledge retrieval. Know when to question and validate AI-driven results. Build and deploy practical AI-enabled workflows and lightweight internal tools that help product teams work faster, improve traceability, surface technical risk, and reduce administrative burden. Required Qualifications

10+ years building complex integrated hardware/software systems, including substantial system architecture ownership. Experience acting as a product Chief Engineer, lead Systems Architect, or equivalent final integrated technical authority. Demonstrated experience mentoring or managing senior technical leaders and influencing multidisciplinary engineering teams. Hands-on expertise in architectural trade studies, interface design, system integration, risk management, and technical readiness. Ability to make evidence-based decisions amid uncertainty and balance speed, reliability, cost, and manufacturability.

Preferred Qualifications

UAS, autonomy, aerospace/defense, robotics, or expeditionary manufacturing experience. Experience across multiple products or common-platform architectures. Familiarity with MBSE/SysML and requirements/verification traceability as enabling tools, not ends in themselves. Experience moving prototypes into manufacturing and field operations.

What Success Looks Like

30 days: map product ownership, top architecture/integration risks, and current technical decision bottlenecks. 90 days: named technical authority for every active product; initial Chief Engineer operating cadence and readiness criteria. 6 months: Chief Engineers independently drive architecture and product technical risk with fewer routine escalations to SVP. 12 months: measurable reduction in recurring design/integration issues and stronger reuse of platform architectures. Work Environment Based at our Headquarters in San Diego, CA This role requires an on-site presence We welcome candidates who are local or open to relocating; relocation assistance is available and may be included in the offer package where appropriate.

Compensation

US Salary Range: $212,000 - $247,000 USD The posted salary range reflects an estimate based on a variety of compensation factors, including but not limited to relevant experience, education, certifications, specialized skills, geographic location, and business needs. Actual compensation may vary, and this range is subject to change as our compensation structure or market conditions evolve.
