## About the role

Own end-to-end delivery of a multi-year, defense-scale manufacturing build-out, including standing up the physical facility itself (permitting, layout, and utilities), through to full production qualification. Coordinate ongoing production operations once qualified, not just the qualification milestone itself, so output stays on schedule as volume scales.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering field, or equivalent professional engineering experience
- 10+ years of experience in program or project management within complex, highly regulated engineering environments such as aerospace, automotive, maritime, or defense
- Demonstrated experience standing up new production capability, not just managing an existing line
- Proven track record managing executive-level and cross-organizational stakeholder relationships
- Ability to operate with significant ambiguity and evolving scope, and to turn that ambiguity into a clear, sequenced plan
- Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively across multiple teams
