  • Oversee preparation and review of technical documents: CAD models, drawings, analyses, test reports, and design compliance matrices.
  • Conduct and lead design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) to ensure technical robustness and compliance with standards.
  • Provide technical solutions, remove roadblocks, and ensure timely resolution of engineering challenges

2. Team & Project Management

  • Manage a team of engineers and technicians; assign tasks, set timelines, and monitor progress.
  • Mentor junior engineers to ensure skills development and adherence to engineering best practices.
  • Drive a culture of accountability, innovation, high-quality work, and continuous improvement.
  • Facilitate regular team meetings, progress reviews, and risk assessments.

3.

  • Plan and execute project milestones, ensuring deliverables meet technical and quality expectations.
  • Support project planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and reporting.
  • Identify risks early and implement mitigation strategies.
  • Ensure alignment with organizational goals and cross-functional project timelines.

4.

  • Plan and oversee component, subsystem, and system-level testing.
  • Ensure safety procedures and quality standards are followed during fabrication, assembly, and testing.

  • Support prototype builds and rapid iteration cycles typical of a startup environment.

5.

  • Coordinate with Program Management, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality Assurance teams.
  • Work with vendors, suppliers, and external engineering partners as needed.
  • Support design-for-manufacturing (DFM), certification readiness, and compliance activities.

6. Documentation & Compliance

  • Ensure documentation meets aerospace regulatory and industry standards.
  • Familiarity with standards such as DO-160, DO-178, DO-254, AS9100, aircraft structural norms, and safety-critical design guidelines (based on domain).
  • Prepare technical reports, BoMs, processes, and project status presentations.

Experience range:
