Description
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Mission-Driven Problem Solvers – The problems in missile defense demand ingenuity. We want engineers who approach challenges with curiosity, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and stay focused on delivering the best solution for the mission.
Total Ownership – We seek engineers who take full responsibility for delivering flight-ready work while recognizing that no one succeeds alone. The best engineers make their teammates better, knowing that complementary skills create force multiplication and drive mission success.
Sr. Project Engineer, RSX
DESCRIPTION
The Project Engineer for the RSX, derived directly from RS1 and GS0, drives the rapid engineering and integration effort that underpins development of Long Wall’s target vehicle product. This role ensures that internal priorities, resources, and schedules remain synchronized with technical baselines, enabling fast, disciplined execution within a private‑investment‑driven development environment complemented by government‑funded testing.
While the Program Manager handles customer‑facing commitments, the Project Engineer owns the engineering‑centric project flow: coordinating cross‑functional development, maintaining internal schedule fidelity, resolving execution roadblocks, and ensuring technical work stays aligned with project goals, verified requirements, and readiness needs. The project engineer partners closely with chief engineering, responsible engineers, systems engineering, and mission assurance to protect technical integrity while ensuring consistent development velocity.
