SUMMARY

The Software Project Engineer provides program-level technical coordination across multiple engineering teams and major subsystems. This roleleadsthe integration strategy for complex engineering efforts, ensuring all disciplines (hardware, software, systems, avionics, test, and manufacturing) remain synchronized toward key program milestones and deliverables.

The Software Project Engineer PE drives the sequencing, communication structure, andintegrationreadinessrequiredfor multi-phase product development. Theyidentifycross-teamimpactsearly,maintainforward-looking plans, and ensure engineering execution is organized, predictable, and aligned with the program's technicalobjectives. This role also mentors the broader Project Engineering team and acts as a technical counterpart to program leadership.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The following job functions are a basic requirement but are not limited to and may be assigned other duties:

• Lead technical integration across multiple subsystems or entire vehicle-level engineering efforts.

• Develop andmaintainthe engineering execution plan, including multi-workstream schedules, integration checkpoints, build / release and milestonereadiness tracking criteria.

• Ensure cross-functional alignment by running structured coordination cadences across hardware, software, systems, avionics, test, and manufacturing.

• Own technical readiness for engineering reviews (CoDR, PDR, CDR, TRR), ensuring all disciplines meet entry/exit criteria.

• Serve as the primary engineering integration counterpart to Program Management, providing visibility into progress, constraints,required decisions and software delivery risk across integration, regression, configuration and schedule.

• Coordinate engineering deliverables that span multiple IPTs or disciplines, ensuring consistency and preventing disconnects.

• Influence requirement interpretation, design impacts, and verification planning alongside systems engineering.

• Plan and coordinate system-level integration events, prototype builds, lab testing,flight test preparation and production release activities.
• Identify roadblocks and bottlenecks to project execution and determine a course of action to eliminate or avoid them.
• Develop and implement recovery plans for off-schedule and unanticipated events

• Drivestructured communication practices across all teams, ensuring predictable updates, clear next steps, anddocumentation continuity for software releases and configuration / change documentation.
