A Role with Dynamic Responsibilities

This is not a role where you'll be siloed into a single function. We are a systems management-driven team, and you will be expected to contribute across the full lifecycle of our systems. One day you might be deep in calculations, the next you could be overseeing an installation, and the next you might be developing maintenance procedures. We are looking for a versatile and proactive engineer who thrives on this variety in solving problems and is eager to apply their skills to diverse challenges.

• Drive Engineering Excellence: Champion a culture of safety and practical technical rigor by ensuring all projects adhere to the highest engineering standards, codes, and regulations.
• System Design & Modernization: Impact the current and future of our test capabilities by gathering stakeholder requirements, performing gap analyses, and fielding modifications to enhance and modernize our critical infrastructure.
• Develop Technical Solutions with Excellence: Create the blueprint for mission success by preparing detailed specifications, statements of work, complex calculations, and comprehensive integrated systems engineering studies.
• Safety & Reliability: Promote culture of safety and reliability in validating systems, including detailed design, system procurements, installation and commissioning plans, and implementing safety hazard analyses and reliability plans to guarantee system integrity and safety.
• Guide Hands-On Execution: Provide technical guidance on the setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of complex systems.
• Collaboration: Act as a central engineering resource, interfacing with project managers, design engineers, systems engineers, and operations teams to ensure systems are mission-ready and maintenance is expertly planned.
• Communicate with Impact: Clearly present technical information, project updates, and causal analyses to peers, management, clients, and key stakeholders.
• It is a condition of employment to wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in accordance with supervisory direction and company policy.
• Perform other duties as required.
