Overview
Join Echo Design and Integration as a Senior Project Manager and take ownership of complex engineering and manufacturing projects from concept to delivery. You'll provide technical leadership across cross-functional teams, guide junior engineers, and ensure designs are built for real-world fabrication, assembly, and certification in aerospace and industrial environments.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence and manufacturing execution — driving cost, quality, and schedule performance while maintaining compliance in a regulated environment. If you thrive on accountability and collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain, this is the role for you.
Responsibilities
- Develop and manage project plans, schedules, and budgets in collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and program stakeholders.
- Lead projects from design concept through manufacturing, integration, testing, and customer delivery.
- Support and oversee manufacturing processes, including fabrication, assembly, integration, and test activities.
- Ensure designs are manufacturable, inspectable, and compliant with internal standards and customer requirements.
- Monitor project progress, identify technical and manufacturing risks, and implement proactive mitigation strategies.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and cross‑functional team members.
- Solve complex engineering and manufacturing challenges and drive practical, cost‑effective solutions.
- Review and approve engineering designs, drawings, bills of material, manufacturing plans, and work instructions.
- Collaborate closely with Quality to ensure compliance with AS9100 and applicable regulatory requirements.
- Participate in and support internal and external audits, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Ensure all engineering and manufacturing activities adhere to AS9100, customer specifications, and industry’s best practices.
- Conduct technical and manufacturing reviews to improve processes, reduce risk, and increase efficiency.
- Complete design concepts and detailed designs as part of an integrated design and manufacturing team.
- Apply knowledge of automated control systems, programming, and electrical design to support manufacturing and integration activities.
- Maintain accurate project and manufacturing documentation, including ECNs, design changes, travelers, and inspection records.
- Review manufacturing plans, test procedures, and acceptance criteria to ensure design and performance requirements are met.
- Support design validation through testing, analysis, and evaluation of manufacturing test results.
- Communicate project status, risks, and progress to management and customers as required.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field.
- Strong technical background with hands-on experience supporting manufacturing, integration, and test activities.
