This position establishes and maintains the technical baseline, leads resolution of complex engineering issues, and ensures that program products meet customer, contractual, safety, quality, cost, and schedule requirements.

The Chief Engineer serves as the primary technical authority for the program and works across engineering disciplines, program management, manufacturing, test, quality, supply chain, customers, and external partners. The role requires strong systems-engineering judgment, effective communication with senior leadership and customers, and the ability to make sound technical decisions in a complex, highly regulated environment.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

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.

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.
