You will own the technical development of large aircraft from white paper sketches and conceptual design through detailed design, build, flight test, transition to production, and sustainment. This includes vehicle layout and conceptual design, airframe and propulsion system design and integration, guidance section development, payload and datalink integration, fabrication and flight test. These projects will be diverse in nature and require you to leverage your technical expertise as well as leadership skills to set objectives, build a team, and drive to completion.
\nAs the Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) Chief Engineering Team is a driving force behind the technical execution and strategic vision of our most critical programs. They are responsible for architecting a vision for product development and guiding multi-disciplinary teams to deliver effectively. They are expected to own the mission and to be deeply involved in building the eco-system that enables execution.
\nThe ideal candidate will leverage their experience executing and successfully completing prior highly optimized multi-disciplinary projects. They should have a deep understanding of unmanned aircraft at and above Group 3 class, experience in a senior role leading air vehicle programs from initial concept through test and delivery to customers, and experience driving strategic direction in competitive landscapes, solving complex system optimization challenges under tight constraints.
\nKey responsibilities include leading technical and programmatic execution of new and existing air vehicle systems design, fabrication, test, productization and sustainment, owning the technical and programmatic success of your programs, establishing technical and programmatic vision, assembling teams of internal and external subject matter experts, and communicating that vision to them.
\nAdditionally, you will manage the detailed design of the system and subsystems including requirements development, sub-system trades and optimization, risk management etc. to ensure the appropriate consideration of design key performance parameters, schedule, costs and risks. You will also coordinate the fabrication of prototype and low-rate production articles and subsystem/system level test efforts, support remotely deployed operations of your systems, and work with senior leadership to ensure resource plans are adequate for work scope.
