Engineering Manager, Mechanical

YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is looking for you, a creative and experienced leader, to build, manage and lead a team of mechanical engineers in the successful development and design of primary/secondary structure and mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE) for spacecraft and missile defense systems. Primary and secondary structure provide the environment for electronics and power subsystems to both reside and survive within spacecraft and missiles throughout the mission life cycle. MGSE creates the foundation for how we facilitate integration and test of spacecraft and missile defense systems. Together, structure design creates the skeletal structure for spacecraft and missile defense products and MGSE allow these systems to come together and be deployed effectively.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Provide leadership and mentorship, through knowledge and experience, to a team of mechanical design engineers with varying experience. Manage team in terms of department staffing, OH budget, performance management, employee development, succession planning, and day-to-day operations/tasking. Provide technical expertise in mechanical engineering as it relates to mechanical design of space related hardware and associated MGSE design. Oversee team's work products to ensure requirements, drawings, and other deliverables are complete and aligned to program requirements/needs. Create department standards and process that define what we do, how we do it, and a quality of product commensurate to true anomalies expectations. Be the interface between leadership, programs, and engineering teams to facilitate delivery of innovative 'on schedule' and 'on cost' solutions. Drive qualification and test campaigns related to flight mechanical and MGSE design activities in addition to being available to programs as a SME for all program activities. Knowledge across vehicle subsystems/functions as it relates to flight mechanical and MGSE design. Willingness and ability to delegate and parse tasks and data to maximize individual and team efficiency. Knowledge of industrial base related to mechanical components with experience interacting with applicable suppliers and manufacturing entities. Experience leading trade studies that balance performance needs, manufacturability, cost, schedule and risk. Knowledge and experience using industry standards and process related to aerospace mechanical design and manufacturing. Willingness and ability to lead and produce detailed engineering products or lead efforts as required.
