longwall - Sr. Project Engineer, RSX (Remote considered)
Requirements
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or technical discipline, or equivalent experience in complex aerospace or defense development. • 8+ years of experience or support of engineering project management, integration leadership, or technical project execution. • Demonstrated experience coordinating engineering teams, managing schedules, and driving technical development cycles. • Strong experience with engineering workflow management, development planning, and coordinating cross‑functional technical work. • Proven ability to operate effectively in fast‑paced environments that combine private‑investment‑driven development with government test requirements. • Ability to interpret engineering artifacts, requirements, and configurations and convert them into actionable schedules and resource plans. • Excellent organizational and communication skills; capable of aligning engineering teams, surfacing risks early, and maintaining clarity across disciplines. • Demonstrated ability to partner closely with technical authorities (chief engineering, systems engineering, mission assurance) to ensure disciplined technical execution. • Experience supporting missile defense, launch vehicle development, aerospace hardware integration, or other technically complex systems. • Familiarity with requirements flow‑down, verification planning, ICD management, and configuration control. • Prior experience working within a hybrid program environment (internal rapid development + government‑funded test campaigns). • Working knowledge of common project management tools for scheduling, risk control, and engineering tracking. • Ability to translate ambiguous technical input into structured execution plans. • Ability to sit or stand for extended periods. • Ability to use a computer for assignments and communicate effectively in person, via telepresence, and by phone. • Ability to travel between Long Wall sites as needed • ITAR Requirement • This position requires access to information protected under US export control laws, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and/or the Export Administration Regulations.
