  • Minimum of 10 years of progressive engineering leadership experience, featuring proven success operating at the executive or corporate officer level.
  • Deep background navigating the aerospace, defense, ruggedized hardware, or high-performance embedded computing landscapes.
  • Exceptional mastery of tracking operational KPIs tied to innovation impact, budget forecasting, and resource scheduling across large organizations.
  • Demonstrated comfort with modern engineering design software, Product Lifecycle Management, and Enterprise Resource Planning databases.
  • Robust working knowledge of ISO, ITAR, and related defense-grade compliance criteria.
  • Superb interpersonal communication skills, with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment and managing complex initiatives across matrixed global structures.
If you are an analytical, results-driven technical leader who can masterfully align complex multi-disciplinary systems with long-term corporate growth, we encourage you to apply.
