Job description

At Gables Engineering (a HEICO company), we don’t just build avionics – we build the systems pilots rely on every time they take off. We are looking for a Project Manager with a genuine engineering background to lead cross-functional development programs from concept through certification and delivery.

About Gables Engineering:

Gables Engineering is a leader in avionics controls and advanced cockpit solutions. We partner with airlines worldwide to deliver tailored solutions and OEM’s to provide advanced technology for next generation systems.

What You’ll Do:

As a Project Manager you will have substantive conversations with electrical, mechanical, software, test and systems engineers as well as manufacturing supervisors to develop and build new projects – not just track their schedules.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Program & Project Management

• Own the schedule, budget, scope, and risk register for new product development programs, from requirements capture through RTCA DO-160/DO-254/DO-178C-aligned qualification testing and delivery.
• Build and maintain integrated program schedules across electrical, mechanical, software, and systems engineering disciplines including manufacturing builds of prototypes & initial production units.
• Run design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) and ensure engineering deliverables meet internal gates and customer/regulatory milestones.
• Manage program risk, including supply chain constraints, obsolescence, and technical unknowns; elevate and resolve blockers proactively.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers on program status, contractual issues related to SOW, technical trade-offs, and change requests.
• Identify critical path/long lead material items up-front in the assigned programs.
• Communicate program information internally and externally.
• Participate directly in technical discussions on product offering to customer, design tradeoffs, human-machine interface layout, wiring and connector design, environmental qualification, and integration with aircraft systems.
• Generate product or system specification (SCD) & corresponding Requirements Verification compliance Matrix.
• Assist in reviewing engineering documentation (product requirements, test plans, safety & reliability, non-conformance reports) with enough fluency to catch gaps in the requirements before they become schedule or quality problems.
• Partner with engineering leads to translate customer requirements into actionable technical tasks.
• Identify recurring technical or process bottlenecks and drive improvements to product development workflows.

Requirements

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• BA/BS in a technical specialty. A combination of education and previous experience may be substituted.
• 2+ years of experience managing or leading technical projects/programs, including schedule, budget, and cross-functional coordination.
• Working knowledge of aerospace development and qualification processes (e.g., DO-160, DO-254, DO-178C) is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to read and engage with engineering artifacts: schematics, technical requirements documents, drawings, and test procedures, and non-conformance reports.
• Strong communication skills, excellent customer service with experience presenting technical status to both engineers and customers/executives.
• High energy level, comfortable with multi-tasking.
• Must be well-organized, flexible and able to work in a fast paced office environment.
• MS Office Suite including; Outlook, Excel, Access, and MSWord.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Direct experience with flight deck systems and control/display units, human factors or pilot experience, and aircraft installations.
• PMP or similar project/program management certification.
• Prior experience mentoring engineers or leading a small technical team.
• Familiarity with MRP/ERP systems

Why join Gables Engineering?

Vertical Integration:

We are highly vertically integrated. We control our entire value chain and have faster design-to-production cycles, to show customers solutions and adapt to their needs.

Real Impact:

Your code flies in actual aircraft. No simulation – real cockpits used in aircraft.

Both learn and mentor. We invest in professional growth and technical development.

HEICO backing:

Stability of a major global aerospace leader.
