A company in the defense industry is seeking a detail-oriented Project Engineer with a strong technical background. This role emphasizes technical expertise over traditional project management skills such as cost, schedule, and budget oversight. The ideal candidate will excel in rigorous technical reporting and analysis, making it best suited for individuals with an engineering degree.

Key Responsibilities:

Blend of Technical and Project Responsibilities:

• Oversee testing, process improvements, and supplier modifications.

• Review technical drawings and data, supporting corrective actions as needed.

• Assist with the implementation of engineering projects in collaboration with the Program Manager.

Engineering-Focused Tasks:

• Conduct research on new materials and manufacturing processes.

• Lead failure analyses and drive continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).

• Provide technical support for testing, including ballistic testing and analysis.

Supportive Role in Larger Projects:

• Contribute to project execution rather than managing full-scale projects independently.

• Collaborate closely with teams and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to provide technical insights and support.

This role is predominantly technical, with project execution and support components, aligning with the responsibilities of Project Engineers in engineering-focused industries.
