About The Position

RSA Engineered Products LLC is hiring a Project Engineer II for its on-site location in Simi Valley, California. RSA designs and produces custom-engineered, high-pressure and high-temperature ducting assemblies, connectors, flexible joints, hoses, ozone converters, and other complex assemblies for commercial, defense, and business-jet markets. PennAero manufactures engineered fasteners and specialized components for aerospace, defense, space, and advanced-energy applications. Reporting directly to the Engineering Director, the Project Engineer II plans, organizes, implements, and controls engineering, research and development, and customer-specification design activities to meet business goals and customer requirements within cost and schedule. Projects may include new product development, RSA intellectual-property designs, build-to-print work, and design-to-spec activities. The role covers project work from the request-for-proposal phase through contract award, detailed design, design validation and certification, initial production, and sustaining engineering. Junior engineers may support the role. The position is on-site five days per week in Simi Valley. Travel is 25% or less. Employment is contingent on verifying U.S. Person status as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 or obtaining required government authorization because the role involves access to technical data or hardware subject to ITAR and EAR export controls.
