Responsibilities:

• Lead Integrated Product Team (IPT) planning and execution for complex missile subsystem development and integration activities.
• Coordinate cross-functional engineering efforts spanning seeker, datalink, flight computer, GNC, and HWIL teams to ensure synchronized development schedules.
• Drive alignment between subsystem roadmaps and overall system-level development milestones.
• Oversee technical integration of key missile subsystems, ensuring interface compatibility and end-to-end functional performance.
• Review and validate subsystem engineering artifacts including ICDs, performance models, simulation results, and HWIL test plans.
• Provide technical leadership in resolving multi-disciplinary issues related to seeker performance, datalink communication, flight computing, GNC modeling, and embedded software.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field.
• 12+ years experience in engineering roles with at least 4+ years in a leadership role.
• Higher level relevant degree may substitute for experience.
• Advanced knowledge of engineering principles and practice.
• Experience working in multi-disciplinary design and development team.
• Comprehensive understanding of requirements management, system design, and integration.
• Demonstrated experience leading multi-disciplinary integration efforts for missile or guided weapon systems.
• Hands-on experience with subsystem-level integration involving seeker sensors, datalinks, flight computers, or GNC algorithms.
• Working knowledge of hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) architectures, test planning, and test execution.
• Proven ability to lead technical teams through requirements decomposition, interface definition, and model/data validation.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Experience serving as IPT lead or subsystem integration lead on complex aerospace or defense programs.
• 6-8 years relevant leadership and/or project management experience.
• Master's degree preferred.
• Experience leading a multi-disciplinary design and development team and communicating with program management and customers.
• Familiarity with preparation and development of project estimates, technical proposals, and program cost and schedule management.
• Past history of leading baseline definition and maturation in a complex development setting, including the use of highly integrated trade studies and analysis of alternative.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and schematics, parts lists, specifications, instructions, and test procedure.
• Experience or certification in International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) standard.
• Experience with development, validation, and use of GNC models in MATLAB/Simulink or similar environments.
• Prior involvement in building or executing HWIL test environments for missile or aerospace systems.
• Familiarity with system-level integration challenges associated with missile guidance, navigation, control, and endgame performance.
• Background in seeker algorithms, sensor fusion, datalink performance analysis, or embedded flight computing architectures in the Aerospace and Defense Industry.

Essential Functions:

• Occasional travel to customer or field locations may be required.
• Ability to work primarily in an office or hybrid environment.
• Ability to lift up to 10 pounds occasionally.
• Prolonged periods of working on a computer.
• Hand and finger dexterity for computer use.
• Capability to work in potentially hazardous environments when visiting project sites.
