Lead and scale the Air Dominance and Strike electrical engineering team focusing on avionics, embedded processing, and power distribution systems for autonomous military air vehicles and missile platforms.
О компании
- The Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) Electrical Engineering Team is responsible for delivering high-reliability avionics, embedded processing, and power distribution systems for Group 5 air vehicles and next-generation missile platforms. Operating at the intersection of hardware, software, and mission autonomy, the team builds flight-critical electronics that enable autonomous air systems to prevail in contested environments. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for an Electrical Engineering Manager to lead and scale our rapidly growing AD&S hardware team in Costa Mesa, CA . In this role, your primary mission is to build, mentor, and guide a world-class team of electrical engineers while driving the operational and technical cadence needed to field critical air platforms. You will transition high-level mission and program requirements into actionable engineering roadmaps, establish best-in-class hardware development processes, and remove roadblocks so your team can move fast without compromising reliability. While you should possess the technical depth to conduct architectural reviews and challenge design decisions, your focus will be on people leadership, resource strategy, engineering rigor, and execution. WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Lead, Grow, and Mentor: Directly manage a high-performing team of electrical engineers. Drive career development, conduct performance reviews, recruit top-tier hardware talent, and foster an engineering culture of extreme ownership, speed, and technical excellence.
- Drive Execution & Delivery: Partner with Program Managers, Chief Engineers, and vehicle line leads to balance resource allocation, scope, budget, and schedule across multiple concurrent aircraft programs.
- Establish Engineering Rigor & Process: Define and mature standard operating procedures for the entire hardware lifecycle, from schematic capture and board bring-up to Design Verification (DVT), qualification (QTP), and flight clearance.
- Provide Technical Oversight: Serve as the senior technical authority for avionics hardware. Lead design reviews, ensure cross-subsystem compatibility, and maintain standards for reliability, fault tolerance, and manufacturability without getting bogged down in day-to-day layout.
- Unblock & Enable Cross-Functional Velocity: Act as the primary interface between your team and adjacent disciplines, including Flight Software, Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC), Mechanical/Thermal, Systems Engineering, and Integration & Test.
- Vendor & Supply Chain Strategy: Oversee strategic relationships with board fabrication, assembly, and component vendors, ensuring manufacturing readiness, cost efficiency, and risk mitigation against supply-chain volatility.
- REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Demonstrated Leadership: 4+ years of formal people-management or proven technical team leadership experience, with a track record of hiring, coaching, and scaling engineering talent.
- Technical Foundation: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline) with 7+ years of industry experience in hardware development, ideally within aerospace, defense, automotive, or high-reliability robotics.
- Program & Execution Acumen: Proven ability to manage competing priorities, allocate headcount, interface with executive stakeholders, and deliver complex hardware milestones on compressed timelines.
- Architecture-Level Fluency: Deep enough technical grounding to guide reviews across modern analog/digital circuits, power architectures, high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, CAN), and processing systems (MCUs, FPGAs, CPUs).
- Process Leadership: Experience defining or evolving hardware test frameworks, qualification standards, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) best practices.
- Security Clearance: Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
- PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience managing engineering teams in a rapid-prototyping, fast-paced startup or defense-tech environment.
- Prior experience navigating military and aviation compliance frameworks (e.g., DO-254, DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461).
- Experience managing harness/interconnect engineering and system-level vehicle integration.
- Active U.S. Secret or Top Secret security clearance.
- Experience with RCC-319 and Flight Termination System
