Project Engineer

On a day-to-day basis, this person will manage incoming repair work from the field, coordinate technical troubleshooting and root-cause analysis, secure the right engineering resources, assign and track repair actions, and ensure repaired systems are delivered correctly and on time. The work spans system, hardware, and firmware-level issues and requires close coordination with systems integration and test teams, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and other technical stakeholders to make sure the right test benches, support plans, and execution paths are in place. This person will be expected to bring both hands-on technical depth and strong project leadership, driving execution across the repair/sustainment lifecycle while also identifying trends in hardware support, improving responsiveness, and helping the team meet mission, customer, and delivery expectations. The ideal candidate will be someone who can quickly establish credibility, lead through urgency, and successfully coordinate engineering activity to deliver measurable outcomes in a fast-paced Electronic Warfare environment.

Qualifications

• Active Secret Clearance and ability to work in a secure DoD/defense environment supporting mission-critical Electronic Warfare programs.
• 10+ years of engineering/project engineering experience with demonstrated success leading technical execution across complex hardware-based programs, sustainment efforts, or repair lifecycle activities.
• Strong domain experience in Electronic Warfare, avionics, defense electronics, or related government systems, including exposure to electrical systems/components, firmware, and system-level troubleshooting.
• Hands-on leadership experience driving execution across cross-functional engineering teams, including systems, electrical, mechanical, integration, and test, while ensuring priorities, resources, and deliverables stay on track.
