About The Position

This posting is intended to gather expressions of interest from Aviation Technology Program Engineers for anticipated opportunities expected to arise over the next 3-6 months. While an immediate vacancy may not be available, we are building relationships with talented professionals who are interested in joining our growing Aviation Technology team as new projects and hiring needs materialize. The Associate Principal role requires 8-10 years of technology (ultra-low voltage/ICT systems) and security engineering and leadership experience with progressively increasing levels of responsibility in an AEC or consulting environment. Eight plus (8+ years) should be hands-on, direct client-facing engineering/design of systems and client management in our primary market sectors, with an emphasis on the Airport market. Remote candidates will be considered, but on-site in the Chicago Metro area is preferred. The Aviation Technology Engineer serves as Introba's primary day-to-day technical representative supporting a major aviation program in the Chicago area. This role provides the critical interface between the client, the prime consultant, airport stakeholders, and Introba's multidisciplinary technology engineering team. The successful candidate will possess sufficient aviation technology engineering experience to confidently discuss, at a high level, the planning, design, coordination, and delivery of airport telecommunications, security, and operational technology systems. While detailed technical design will be performed by Introba's subject matter experts, this individual will coordinate closely with those technical teams to ensure designs progress efficiently, technical decisions are communicated effectively, and client expectations are met. This position requires a strong understanding of airport capital project delivery, design coordination, consultant relationships, and stakeholder management. Success depends on the ability to recognize project risks, identify coordination issues before they become problems, maintain positive working relationships with the owner and prime consultant, and identify opportunities where Introba can provide additional value through expanded services. The successful candidate is an experienced aviation technology professional who enjoys building client relationships, solving project coordination challenges, and serving as the trusted local representative of a highly technical engineering team.
