Project Manager

At Gables Engineering (a HEICO company), we don’t just build avionics – we build the systems pilots rely on every time they take off. We are looking for a Project Manager with a genuine engineering background to lead cross-functional development programs from concept through certification and delivery. About Gables Engineering Gables Engineering is a leader in avionics controls and advanced cockpit solutions. We partner with airlines worldwide to deliver tailored solutions and OEM’s to provide advanced technology for next generation systems. What You’ll Do As a Project Manager you will have substantive conversations with electrical, mechanical, software, test and systems engineers as well as manufacturing supervisors to develop and build new projects – not just track their schedules. Key Responsibilities Program & Project Management Own the schedule, budget, scope, and risk register for new product development programs, from requirements capture through RTCA DO-160/DO-254/DO-178C-aligned qualification testing and delivery. Build and maintain integrated program schedules across electrical, mechanical, software, and systems engineering disciplines including manufacturing builds of prototypes & initial production units. Run design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) and ensure engineering deliverables meet internal gates and customer/regulatory milestones. Manage program risk, including supply chain constraints, obsolescence, and technical unknowns; elevate and resolve blockers proactively. Serve as the primary point of contact for customers and airframe manufacturers on program status, technical trade-offs, and change requests. Coordinate with quality and customer certification teams to ensure programs stay aligned with FAA/EASA airworthiness requirements and AS9100 processes. Engineering Involvement Participate directly in technical discussions on product offering to customer, design tradeoffs, human-machine interface layout, wiring and connector design, environmental qualification, and integration with aircraft systems. Generate product or system specification (SCD) & corresponding Requirements Verification compliance Matrix. Review engineering documentation (product requirements, test plans, safety & reliability, non-conformance reports) with enough fluency to catch gaps before they become schedule or quality problems. Partner with engineering leads to translate customer and regulatory requirements into actionable technical tasks. Identify recurring technical or process bottlenecks and drive improvements to engineering workflows and tooling. #J-18808-Ljbffr HEICO
