  • Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, identifying critical path activities and resource requirements
  • Track milestones, manage dependencies, and proactively identify and mitigate technical and execution risks
  • Use office stand-ups, reviews, and metrics to monitor progress and maintain execution discipline
  • Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment on priorities, deliverables, and schedule commitments
  • Allocate resources effectively to balance multiple concurrent efforts and competing priorities

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • 10+ years of progressive engineering experience, with significant emphasis on testing, test infrastructure, or R&D environments
  • Minimum of 3–5 years in an engineering leadership or management role
  • Experience in standing up or activating a new technical activity
  • Demonstrated experience in test planning, execution, and data analysis
  • Proven track record in rapid prototyping and iterative development
