Summary:

Providing technical leadership for New Product Development programs with the internal IPDT (Integrated Product Development Team; i.e., design engineers, design drafters, manufacturing engineering, test lab technicians, program managers, etc.) and external client is the main goal of the Project Engineer III position. The IPDT may require the candidate to manage one or more co-located, small (> 5, 15 person) engineering teams. In order to create and maintain an overall project Master Schedule that is in line with client milestones, the candidate must employ knowledge of engineering disciplines, procedures, and tools. The candidate must create project subtasks for the project Master Schedule in order to direct the internal IPDT and guarantee that designs adhere to client technical requirements and procurement criteria. Within these Master Schedule project subtasks, the Project Engineering drawings (internal manufacturing and customer drawings), engineering documentation to support Qualification/Certification efforts (i.e. ATP, QTPs, etc.), and engineering analysis to support Qualification/Certification efforts (produced by self or providing technical guidance to supporting engineers) are other duties that would fall under the purview of the Engineer III position.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Under general supervision, must be able to perform a variety of job duties including, but not limited to:

--- Technical Proposals
--- Preliminary to Detailed Design of customer Line Replacement Units (LRUs)
