Engineering Manager

While not performing handson analysis daily, the role requires sufficient technical depth to review work quality, identify gaps, and guide decisionmaking. A significant focus is placed on people leadership, developing engineers, improving team workflows, and establishing a strong, accountable team culture within a classified, onsite environment.
