Engineering Manager, Mechanical

True Anomaly•Denver, CO

3h•$140,000 - $185,000•Onsite

About The Position

True Anomaly is looking for you, a creative and experienced leader, to build, manage and lead a team of mechanical engineers in the successful development and design of primary/secondary structure and mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE) for spacecraft and missile defense systems. Primary and secondary structure provide the environment for electronics and power subsystems to both reside and survive within spacecraft and missiles throughout the mission life cycle. MGSE creates the foundation for how we facilitate integration and test of spacecraft and missile defense systems. Together, structure design creates the skeletal structure for spacecraft and missile defense products and MGSE allow these systems to come together and be deployed effectively.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical/aerospace engineering
5-10 years of experience that include prior functional management or team leadership experience
Experience with SolidWorks, CATIA, NX or similar 3D CAD software; Teamcenter, Windchill, Enovia or other PLM software
Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to effectively communicate with and motivate team members, lead through influence, develop talent, and ability to seek compromise without significant sacrifice
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Willing to travel 20% of the time
Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
