Company: General Atomics
Location: Poway
Posted on: October 27, 2024
Job Description:
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an
affiliate of General Atomics, is a world leader in proven, reliable
remotely piloted aircraft and tactical reconnaissance radars, as
well as advanced high-resolution surveillance systems.
Apply promptly! A high volume of applicants is expected for the
role as detailed below, do not wait to send your CV.
We have an exciting career opportunity for a Project Engineer (PE)
in our cross-product / cross platform Diminished Manufacturing
Sources (DMS) Engineering Group located in Poway, CA. Air and
ground-based products, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV),
Ground Control Stations (GCS), and Radar subsystems require
continued engineering solutions throughout their lifecycle. DMS
Engineering has become a critical, specialized team within the
company, used to identify engineering mitigation solutions and
rapidly re-engineer aspects of the platform to help ensure there
are no production nor sustainment impacts to our wide fleet of
Unmanned Aerial Systems and their customers. This engineering team
interfaces with all product lines and customers across the
enterprise during all parts of the lifecycle, from pre-concept to
development, to test, to production and sustainment.
With limited supervision, this cross-platform engineer will be
responsible for identifying replacement components, developing
short- and long-term mitigation solutions for various impacts, and
working with engineering and programs to implement technical
resolutions in a fast-paced environment. The engineer is required
to interface across multiple engineering disciplines (including
electrical, mechanical, software, components, materials, cyber,
safety, structures, test, airworthiness and more), and multiple
non-engineering disciplines (including program management, finance,
scheduling, configuration management, data management,
publications, and more) in order to develop, manage, and execute
critical engineering solutions.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Identify replacement component options relative to larger
system.
- Analyze engineering details and program risks relative to
unprocurable components within the system.
- Develop engineering reports documenting the short and long-term
resolution strategies.
- Brief Program Managers (PMs) and engineers on short-term and
long-term resolution strategies.
- Coordinate and manage engineering projects with functional
engineering groups to ensure the continued supportability and
viability of GA-ASI's products and platforms.
- Work closely with PMs to identify and communicate programmatic
impacts.
- Develop engineering cost estimates for Non-Recurring
Engineering (NRE) activities.
- Create engineering project schedules and resolution
timelines.
- Lead engineering to implement resolution activities.
- Support engineering / manufacturing with the design,
development, prototyping and production solutions.
- Work with test engineering to successfully complete
airworthiness assessments as well as ground and flight testing when
required.
- Interface with technical publications staff to ensure
documentation updates are implemented as needed.
- Present report(s) at engineering meetings; participate in
program reviews and program consultations.
- Anticipate future engineering needs and the modifications
required to accomplish technical goals.
- Maintain the strict confidentiality of sensitive
information.
- Responsible for observing all laws, regulations, and other
applicable obligations wherever and whenever business is conducted
on behalf of the Company.
- Utilize Python and Excel-based tools to improve engineering
processes and efficiencies, if possible.
- Ability to obtain and maintain DoD security clearance is
required.
Job Qualifications:
- Typically requires a bachelor's degree, master's degree or PhD
in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited
institution and progressive engineering experience as follows: six
or more years of experience with a bachelor's degree, four or more
years of experience with a master's degree, or two or more years
with a PhD. May substitute equivalent engineering experience in
lieu of education.
- Must have a thorough understanding of engineering principles,
concepts, theory, and practice with the ability to organize, plan,
schedule, conduct, and coordinate workloads to meet established
deadlines or milestones.
- Requires ability to perform assigned tasks in short-order and
with a continued sense of urgency.
- Requires ability to manage multiple projects at once.
- Must be motivated to learn about interface characteristics,
function/operation, and end-usage of GA-ASI products and
platforms.
- Must possess the ability to understand new concepts quickly and
apply them accurately throughout an evolving environment.
- Must possess the ability to develop and communicate new
concepts; apply them accurately throughout an evolving environment;
organize, schedule, and coordinate work phases; and determine the
appropriate approach at the task level or, with assistance, at the
project level to provide solutions to a range of complex
problems.
- Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills
are required.
- Must be able to work both independently and in a team
environment.
- Component or Project Engineering experience desired, but not
required.
- Software (e.g., Python) experience desired, but not
required.
- Able to obtain and maintain DoD security clearance
required.
Salary: $98,100 - $171,398
