American Turbines - Lead Engineer

• A track record of taking hardware from 0 to 1 and shipping it, ideally at a small, fast-moving hardware team. You don't need direct turbomachinery experience. What you need is the judgment to build a realistic timeline, the discipline to hold a team to it, and the willingness to get your hands dirty when the schedule calls for it. • You've led engineers more senior or more specialized than you before, and you know how to earn their trust rather than assume it. You default to build-and-test over simulation, and you know the difference between a schedule slip that's normal and one that's a real problem. • You're effective at quick check-ins, not just deep dives. You won't have time to go deep on every workstream, so you need to know when a two-minute conversation is enough to unblock someone and when a problem actually needs you to sit down and work it with them.
