• Proven technical leadership experience supporting multidisciplinary engineering teams and complex engineering projects.
• Strong knowledge of aircraft systems engineering principles and integration methodologies.
• Understanding of military aircraft systems, subsystem interfaces, and aircraft modification processes.
• Knowledge of airworthiness certification principles, compliance documentation, and flight safety considerations.
• Ability to evaluate complex technical issues and develop practical engineering solutions.
• Experience conducting engineering design reviews, technical assessments, and risk evaluations.
• Strong technical writing, documentation, communication, and presentation skills.
• Ability to lead cross-functional engineering teams and coordinate multiple technical priorities.
• Must be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting U.S. Army aviation programs, particularly UH-60 Black Hawk, CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache, or comparable military aircraft.
