You'll be part of a company with operations across multiple U.S. locations, contributing to critical national security initiatives while leading and developing a team of skilled engineers.

This role is perfect for a technically proficient leader who can balance hands-on engineering work with team management responsibilities. The position offers the opportunity to work on complex defense systems while developing both technical and leadership skills in a supportive environment.
