About Our Transition to Ondas Sentinel
World View was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with DZYNE Technologies, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next-generation U.S. defense platform integrating long-endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter-UAS technologies, and mission intelligence.
While World View is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as World View as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross-posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization.
What does this mean for candidates?
You’re joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense.
You’ll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission-proven technology.
You’ll work alongside world-class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high-impact ISR capabilities, leading counter-UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects.
You’ll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace.
Together, Ondas Sentinel is building something bigger than any one company, a scalable, integrated defense organization designed to meet emerging mission needs with speed, precision, and purpose.
If you’re energized by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, and a chance to help define the future of autonomous defense, we’d love to have you on the team.
Job Description
We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead execution across the engineering organization. In close partnership with the Chief Engineer and Program Leadership, this role is responsible for delivery planning, team execution, and operational alignment to ensure high-quality flight systems are delivered on schedule and in accordance with engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain requirements.
This position serves as a critical link between technical authority and program priorities, facilitating alignment, fostering effective cross-functional collaboration, and escalating risks or trade-offs as appropriate to protect delivery, quality, and safety.
Core Responsibilities
Lead, develop, and support engineering teams through clear expectations, coaching, accountability, and an environment in which risks are identified and addressed early.
Oversee execution planning, resource allocation, and delivery across research and development activities and active programs, with clear ownership, priorities, and timelines.
Translate business and technical objectives into practical execution plans informed by capacity, dependencies, manufacturing readiness, test availability, and supply chain constraints.
Partner effectively with Program Management, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and technical leadership to resolve trade-offs, improve visibility, and address bottlenecks before they affect program milestones.
Establish and maintain operating cadences that improve predictability, reduce unnecessary execution disruption, and support alignment among technical integrity, delivery objectives, and safety requirements.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
Experience leading engineering teams in aerospace, defense, or other complex hardware-focused environments.
Demonstrated capability in execution planning, resource management, and cross-functional leadership.
Ability to align technical execution with program priorities, manufacturing readiness, and schedule requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting flight systems or other highly integrated hardware products.
Understanding of engineering-to-manufacturing and test transition within a regulated or high-reliability environment.
Experience operating effectively within matrixed organizations or shared-responsibility leadership models.
What We Offer
You will work side by side with experts in emerging technology, gaining exposure to cutting edge ideas and projects that are shaping the future. We offer a comprehensive benefits package including Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance because we believe in taking care of the you as a person, not just a team member.
Our Tucson workplace is designed to support collaboration, focus, and well-being, with an on-site environment that keeps supply chain, manufacturing, engineering, quality, and program teams closely connected to the mission.
We believe in creating a dynamic and inclusive workplace where creativity thrives, and every voice is heard.
