This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys both solving complex technical challenges and leading cross-functional teams to deliver successful program outcomes.

• Lead the design, development, integration, and verification of electro-mechanical actuation systems for aerospace applications.
• Translate customer and system requirements into technical solutions and engineering deliverables.
• Support system architecture, requirements management, design reviews, and technical trade studies.
• Develop and execute validation and verification activities, including development and qualification testing.
• Analyze test data, investigate failures, and lead root-cause and corrective action activities.
• Evaluate compliance with customer, industry, and regulatory requirements.
• Develop technical documentation including test plans, procedures, reports, and engineering assessments.

• Lead execution of engineering programs from concept development through production transition.
• Manage project cost, schedule, milestones, and technical performance.
• Utilize project management tools and processes to monitor progress and drive successful execution.
• Identify, assess, and manage technical, schedule, and program risks and opportunities.
• Coordinate cross-functional activities with systems, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams.
• Interface directly with customers and suppliers to communicate technical status, resolve issues, and build strong working relationships.
• Support proposal development, including technical planning, resource estimation, and schedule development.

• Work on flight-critical aerospace technologies that support advanced aircraft programs.
• Influence product development across the entire engineering lifecycle.
• Collaborate with highly skilled multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Balance deep technical problem-solving with project and program leadership responsibilities.
• Gain visibility with customers, business leaders, and engineering leadership while driving strategic aerospace initiatives.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 8+ years of engineering experience in product development, systems engineering, aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial automation, or related industries.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical projects, programs, or engineering work packages.
• Experience managing project deliverables, schedules, priorities, and cross-functional teams.
• Experience communicating technical information to customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
• Experience with requirements development, system integration, verification, validation, testing, and technical problem-solving.

• Experience with aerospace actuation systems, flight control systems, or electro-mechanical systems.
• Knowledge of project management methodologies, cost management, schedule management, and risk management.
• Experience with Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS).
• Validation & Verification (V&V) or qualification testing experience.
• Manufacturing, production support, or design for manufacturability experience.
• Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Strong systems-thinking and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to influence and lead within a matrixed engineering environment.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills.
• Self-motivated individual with a demonstrated ability to drive results and lead through ambiguity.
