Jobs at Red 6

Leads technical supply chain execution for complex aerospace electromechanical products across internal production and contract manufacturers. Responsibilities include sourcing strategy, Approved Manufacturer List management, supplier qualification and development, contract manufacturer coordination, NPI and production ramp readiness, supply risk mitigation, quality and traceability compliance, supplier performance monitoring, and executive reporting. The role collaborates extensively with engineering, manufacturing, procurement, production, and quality teams and requires travel to supplier facilities as needed.

Leads the mechanical engineering organization developing ruggedized avionics, aircraft-integrated hardware, optical assemblies, sensors, and human-worn aerospace systems. Oversees the full product lifecycle from requirements and architecture through design, prototyping, testing, qualification, and production. Establishes engineering processes, manages teams, drives manufacturability and supplier readiness, supports technical reviews and proposals, and ensures compliance with aerospace environmental, airworthiness, performance, and production requirements.

Supports configuration management across the ATARS product lifecycle by administering configuration and engineering review boards, processing engineering changes, managing baselines, drawings, technical data releases, and PLM workflows. Tracks CM metrics, supports program reviews, audits, customer deliverables, document control, and data management while collaborating with engineering, quality, production, program leadership, and customers.

Design and develop complex electrical hardware for airborne augmented reality systems, including power architectures, FPGAs, high-speed communications, embedded computers, PCBAs, and test systems. Own products from requirements through prototyping, qualification, manufacturing, and flight. Conduct trade studies, design reviews, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, performance analysis, and documentation while collaborating with cross-functional engineering and program teams.

Leads the optics department and owns the optical performance roadmap for current and future augmented reality systems. Responsibilities include team growth, optical architecture reviews, trade studies, metrology standards, design governance, supplier escalation, program execution, production transition, customer integration, and cross-functional alignment. The role establishes scalable processes, manages optical risks, supports defense and government programs, and partners with the Principal Optical Engineer to balance organizational leadership with technical execution.

The Principal Mechanical Engineer will lead a team in conducting structural and vibration analysis, CFD modeling, and collaborate across engineering disciplines for aerospace hardware design and testing.

Supports defense program planning, scheduling, and execution within the PMO. Develops and maintains Integrated Master Schedules, coordinates updates across technical teams, supports EVMS and Work Breakdown Structures, performs schedule risk and critical-path analysis, prepares performance metrics, and maintains baseline configuration control. The role requires collaboration with program managers, engineers, manufacturing, testing, and leadership while supporting DoD standards and customer deliverables.

Designs and develops precision mechanical, optical, and electromechanical systems from early prototypes through production. Responsibilities include requirements definition, CAD drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, FEA and CFD, prototyping, design reviews, verification testing, supplier coordination, DFM/DFA, and troubleshooting. The role collaborates cross-functionally to improve product reliability, manage development schedules, and create technical documentation for AR-based synthetic air combat training products.

Defines and evolves software architectures for AR-based aerospace and mission systems. Leads architecture across embedded, real-time graphics, simulation, networking, cloud, edge, AI/ML, and aircraft integration. Establishes standards for secure, scalable, safety-critical software; supports DO-178 compliance, DevSecOps, CI/CD, containerization, and digital engineering. Collaborates with engineering, product, systems, and program teams on technical baselines, interfaces, verification, customer engagements, and proposals.

Leads systems engineering for airborne augmented reality training systems across the full product lifecycle. Responsibilities include requirements development and traceability, system architecture, interface management, MBSE, trade studies, resource allocation, design reviews, integration, verification, technical risk management, and coordination across hardware, software, optics, test, airworthiness, and external partner teams.

Lead electrical architecture, design, test, integration, and manufacturing for next-generation AR airborne systems. Derive subsystem requirements, perform trade studies, prototype and verify designs, produce documentation, mentor the electrical team, and ensure compliance with military environmental and EMI/EMC standards.

Lead development, validation, and deployment of production test systems for PCBA, subassemblies, and system-level aerospace electronics. Develop test strategies, scripts, fixtures, and test racks; validate repeatability and reliability; support contract manufacturers, troubleshoot yield issues, drive root cause analysis, and maintain compliance, documentation, and production readiness.
