Ensure disciplined engineering processes are applied, including design controls, configuration management, and product reliability practices, in compliance with quality management system requirements. Build, develop, and coach a high-performing engineering team, fostering technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement while strengthening organizational capability for future growth. Champion the development and adoption of new technologies, tools, and methodologies to enable scalable engineering execution and sustain competitive advantage. Partner with customers and cross-functional teams to deliver robust solutions, ensuring strong technical engagement, responsiveness, and long-term relationship development. Demonstrate strong leadership across both technical execution and customer-focused delivery, balancing hands-on engineering involvement with effective team management. Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline required (advanced degree preferred). 1-3 years leading engineering teams in a product development environment, with direct responsibility for performance management, talent development, and organizational capability building. 5+ years of experience in the design and development of electromechanical sensing or fluid/electrical systems, with proven ownership of products across the full lifecycle (concept through production and sustainment). Proven track record managing engineering project portfolios and workstreams, including New Product Development (NPD), advanced R&D, and sustaining engineering initiatives. Experience operating within regulated industries (e.g., aerospace), with familiarity in FAA certification, product qualification, and compliance-driven development processes strongly preferred. Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and to reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs. Proficiency with engineering design and analysis tools to support robust, data-driven development and problem solving.
