Sr. Project Engineer, RSX (Remote considered)

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

• Mission-Driven Problem Solvers – The problems in missile defense demand ingenuity. We want engineers who approach challenges with curiosity, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and stay focused on delivering the best solution for the mission.
• Total Ownership – We seek engineers who take full responsibility for delivering flight-ready work while recognizing that no one succeeds alone. The best engineers make their teammates better, knowing that complementary skills create force multiplication and drive mission success.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Drive day‐to‐day internal execution of the RSX target vehicle development, ensuring engineering, integration, and test teams operate with clarity, pace, and alignment.
• Maintain detailed internal schedules, resource plans, resource constrained critical paths, and cross‐functional work coordination.
• Manage internal priorities and development flow, ensuring rapid progress while maintaining technical rigor defined by chief engineering and systems engineering.
• Coordinate closely with the Program Manager to ensure internal execution supports external commitments, contractual milestones, and program reporting.
• Facilitate technical decision flow by ensuring engineering discussions, trade studies, design changes, and integration plans remain documented, coordinated, and tracked.
• Work directly with engineering discipline leads to identify and resolve roadblocks, accelerate hardware development, and maintain configuration stability during fast‐paced builds.
• Support integration and test operations by ensuring engineering artifacts, procedures, and configurations are ready on time and aligned with verification plans.
• Track and communicate internal risks, schedule drivers, and technical dependencies; support company‐wide risk management led by mission assurance.
• Maintain alignment with systems engineering’s requirements, architecture, ICDs, and verification flows, ensuring internal schedules accurately reflect technical needs.
• Support chief engineering by ensuring development activities remain aligned with the technical baseline, and escalate issues that affect reliability, safety, or mission readiness.
• Help build scalable project management processes, templates, and execution models that will be used for future programs as the company grows
