About The Position

The Engineering Development Site Coordinator will coordinate transition, startup, operational readiness, and ongoing technical operations support for the Southlake Engineering Development Center in Richmond, Virginia. The initial assignment focuses on equipment relocation and installation, facility readiness projects, infrastructure implementation, inventory establishment, material handling, and coordination with contractors, equipment suppliers, and service providers. As the facility becomes operational, the work will shift toward day-to-day technical operations that support engineering development, prototyping, equipment evaluation, and capability-building. Ongoing support includes coordinating equipment logistics; inventory and asset tracking; receiving and moving materials; facility organization and housekeeping; equipment documentation; and safety and environmental compliance activities. The coordinator will facilitate work among engineering teams, facilities personnel, contractors, suppliers, and service providers. The role may also support engineering documentation, including drawing packages and records maintained in AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Vault, or similar systems. The position is based primarily at the Southlake Boulevard site, with some local travel to other engineering development spaces in the Richmond area. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The assignment is expected to last 12 months or longer, up to two years.
