Position Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Systems Project Engineer to lead the design, development, integration, and testing of advanced avionics systems for aerospace platforms. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in avionics architecture, systems engineering processes, and regulatory compliance, with a proven ability to manage complex projects and mentor junior engineers.
The Lead Systems Engineer (LSE) is an individual contributor who carries both the full project coordination responsibilities for their assigned program and the systems engineering responsibilities for their technical scope. This person does not manage other engineers in a supervisory sense - they are a peer-level technical contributor who reports to an Engineering Manager - but they are accountable for planning, scheduling, and tracking the work of the entire project team, not just their own.
What distinguishes this role from a pure systems engineer is dual accountability: the LSE defines the WBS for the whole project, maintains the IMS for all contributors, tracks every team member's deliverable's against schedule, and surfaces risks and variances to the Engineering Manager - while simultaneously producing systems engineering artifacts for their own technical scope. The project coordination function is not delegated to a separate PM; the LSE owns it.
