The Opportunity

We are seeking a decisive, high-integrity leader to head our Aircraft Products Software Engineering team. This isn't just a role managing code; it is an opportunity to build a legacy by transforming a group of individual experts into a unified, high-energy force.

The ideal candidate acts as the bridge between hardware and software, serving as an arbiter of technical disputes and the architect of a culture where every engineer—from junior developers to 30-year veterans—feels challenged, valued, and focused.

• Cross-Functional Synergy:
  Experience bridging the gap between software and hardware divisions to ensure cohesive product development.
