Provide technical direction for resolving complex problems involving system performance, reliability, safety, producibility, maintainability, and operational effectiveness.
Assess technical risks, develop mitigation plans, and communicate status and recommendations to program and company leadership.
Ensure engineering work complies with applicable customer requirements, contractual commitments, company processes, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.
Lead technical interchange meetings and communicate system performance, risks, decisions, and recommendations to customers and senior stakeholders.
Review and approve key engineering products, analyses, specifications, test procedures, reports, and technical dispositions.
Coordinate system-level interfaces with aircraft, shipboard, electrical, control, launch, and support systems.
Support proposal development, technology planning, cost and schedule estimates, make-or-buy decisions, and business development activities.
Partner with manufacturing and operations to ensure designs are producible, supportable, and suitable for transition to production.
Promote disciplined systems engineering, configuration management, risk management, and lessons-learned practices.
Mentor engineers and technical leaders and help develop the organization’s engineering capability.
Perform other related duties as assigned.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.

Job Qualifications:

Typically requires a bachelors degree, masters degree or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and progressive engineering experience as follows; twelve or more years of experience with a bachelors degree, ten or more years of experience with a masters degree, or seven or more years with a PhD.

Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary engineering organizations or major technical efforts.
Experience with systems engineering processes, requirements management, interface control, configuration management, and verification and validation.
Experience with the development, integration, test, qualification, or sustainment of defense, aerospace, naval, or other safety-critical systems.
Ability to analyze and communicate complex technical issues to both technical and nontechnical audiences.
Demonstrated ability to make timely, objective decisions involving technical, cost, schedule, and risk considerations.
Strong written, verbal, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills.
Must be customer focused and able to work on a self-initiated basis or in a team environment and able to work extended hours and travel as required.
Travel maybe required to support customers, suppliers, test sites, shipyards, and program activities.
Ability to obtain and maintain DoD security clearance is required.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with electromagnetic launch systems, high-power electrical systems, pulsed-power systems, energy storage, power conversion, or advanced propulsion technologies.
Experience with aircraft launch and recovery systems, shipboard systems, naval aviation, or aircraft-carrier integration.
Experience leading major program technical reviews and customer-facing design or readiness reviews.
Experience with Department of Defense acquisition, test, certification, and lifecycle-support processes.
Professional engineering license, senior technical certification, or equivalent demonstrated technical leadership.
Experience with reliability, maintainability, safety, human factors, cybersecurity, and system assurance for mission-critical systems.
Experience transitioning complex systems from development through production and field support.

Core Competencies

Operate with broad technical authority and limited direction.
Lead engineering activities with substantial organizational and program impact.
Resolve highly complex, ambiguous, and cross-functional technical issues.
Influence decisions across multiple organizations and communicate effectively with senior leadership and customers.
Establish technical direction and priorities for major portions of the program.
