Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Leads technical execution and system integration across aerospace and defense product lines. Translates product and engineering direction into actionable guidance, coordinates lab-based hardware, software, and integration activities, develops conceptual designs and system interconnects, tracks risks, supports prototyping, and participates in system bring-up, validation, testing, demonstrations, and technical reviews.

Owns product development lifecycles for aerospace and defense product lines, translating leadership direction into actionable engineering work. Coordinates hardware, software, and systems integration; develops conceptual designs and integration documentation; monitors lab activities, risks, and progress; supports prototyping, system bring-up, testing, technical reviews, demonstrations, and field activities. Collaborates with engineering managers and multidisciplinary teams across predictive maintenance, logistics, and communications portfolios.

Leads financial management across aerospace and defense programs, partnering with program, accounting, contracts, FP&A, and operations teams. Responsibilities include EAC development, revenue and cost forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, contract funding and cash monitoring, risk assessment, monthly close, planning, and executive reporting. The role also develops finance staff and implements scalable program finance processes, tools, and reporting.

Leads the mechanical engineering discipline and serves as Cognizant Mechanical Engineer and design authority for space hardware. Oversees mechanical designs, structural and thermal analyses, drawing approvals, environmental testing, engineering standards, design reviews, and process improvement. Manages staffing, hiring, performance, career development, capacity planning, and technical strategy while partnering with program and executive leadership across DoD, intelligence, and civil space programs.

Leads and develops embedded software engineering teams across multiple programs while providing hands-on technical leadership. Responsibilities include staffing, mentoring, resource allocation, software architecture, development, integration, testing, debugging, lifecycle process improvement, estimates, schedules, risk management, and cross-functional collaboration. The role supports high-reliability hardware-integrated systems and may contribute directly to complex embedded and real-time software development.

Architect, implement, simulate, verify, and integrate high-performance FPGA designs for space-based RF, processing, networking, and data storage systems. Develop VHDL RTL and Vivado IP Integrator designs using AMD Xilinx devices, achieve timing closure, create testbenches and constraints, perform board bring-up and lab debugging, document designs, participate in reviews, collaborate across hardware and software teams, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead integration and test activities for space payloads, debugging hardware/software/firmware interfaces, performing root-cause analysis, supporting lab and environmental testing (TVAC, vibration, EMI/EMC), developing testbeds and automation, and documenting test results to enable verification and flight readiness.

Lead architecture and development of radiation-mitigated embedded hardware for space and defense programs. Drive requirements, high-speed mixed-signal PCB and FPGA/microprocessor design, integration, test, reviews, technical guidance, program support, and technology roadmap contributions.

Own and govern the Altium component library and Enterprise Server. Create and verify IPC space-grade footprints, enforce EEE-INST-002 Level 3 selections, manage automotive/COTS up-screening and PEM governance, embed derating rules, track lifecycles/obsolescence, enforce part request workflows, and support manufacturing integration and occasional travel.

Lead program technical efforts as the principal systems engineering authority: drive requirements, integration, verification, risk mitigation, engineering reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR), and coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver mission-critical space electronic systems on cost and schedule.
