YOUR MISSION

The Project Engineer (PE) for Subsystem Development & Test will be responsible for the end-to-end integration of multiple critical subsystem-level tests, as part of the critical development ground test campaign before deploying a system into orbit. This role will focus on subsystem development campaigns, partnering closely with engineering leads. This PE will be the lead integrator and primary execution arm across all test activities, from planning to execution. The role requires continuous coordination across cross-functional teams, including technical propulsion, avionics, structures, ground systems, supply chain, and test facility/range operations. Integration with engineering teams is critical to support deeper data analysis and ensure that lessons learned are rapidly incorporated into subsequent test planning and execution cycles.

This PE is the responsible Test Campaign Mission integrator and executor. Under direction of the Sr. TPM of Missile Defense Space System Development, this role drives day-to-day test readiness, leads cross-functional coordination, and ensures all systems, teams, and environments are prepared for successful test execution. This role will provide regular status updates to leadership and elevate critical risks, issues, or decision points as needed, operating as the primary boots-on-the-ground leader responsible for delivering safe, efficient, and effective test execution.

What You'll Own

• End-to-end Integration (Technical & Program Management) of critical technology development test campaigns across various subsystems
• Driving schedule, technical, and cost of these major program development milestones, proactively identifying risks to successful execution and driving mitigation strategies across the team
• Integrating and executing test plans while ensuring alignment between engineering design milestones, hardware availability, and ground infrastructure, and external constraints such as range availability and regulatory requirements.
• Cross-functional coordination across Engineering, Production & Integration, Supply Chain, Program Management, Sr. Leadership, and external stakeholders
• Managing test facility coordination and logistics planning to accommodate both technical & programmatic needs
• Execution rigor, bringing cadence, status tracking, and accountability to recurring and milestone-driven work to complete these campaigns
• Following each test event, ensuring the integrity and completeness of all data to lead post-test assessments with engineering, including anomaly identification and triage, to provide a finalized data product output to internal and customer leadership

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• 4+ years of experience in the professional engineering industry
• Experience integrating cross-functional teams in high-tempo, high-consequence environments, such as ground and/or flight test campaigns
• Experience working with safety-critical systems and adherence to rigorous safety and mission assurance standards
• Strong technical understanding of facility coordination, test operations, including test planning, readiness reviews, and execution discipline
• Strong understanding of taking engineering requirements into executable test procedures and plans
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across engineering, operations, and external stakeholders, such as customers and industry partners
• Demonstrated ability to manage a project or program: structured processes and prioritization, dependency and critical-path management, schedule and risk management, and driving programs to closure across multiple concurrent efforts.
• Ability to operate effectively under pressure and make sound decisions in dynamic test environments
• Experience owning delivery for teams you don't manage, where your leverage is cadence, visibility, and escalation rather than reporting lines.
• Comfort operating in a matrixed structure: applying a defined program/portfolio methodology while taking day-to-day priorities from an embedded team.
• U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (M.S. or higher) in a relevant engineering discipline
• Active Security Clearance (TS, TS//SCI)

• Demonstrated experience planning and executing integrated system tests (ground and/or flight)
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex schedules and drive execution across multiple parallel efforts
• Demonstrated experience with configuration management and test article control in a development or production environment
• Prior experience serving as a test conductor or similar role during live test operations...

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: $110,000 - $150,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
