ALRE Project Engineer

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) designs and manufactures first-of-a-kind electromagnetic and electric power generation systems.   GA-EMS’ expanding portfolio of specialized products and integrated system solutions support critical fleet, space systems and satellites, missile defense, power and energy, and process and monitoring applications for defense, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Project Engineer in the GA-EMS Systems Engineering department. The candidate with previous Project Engineering experience, design engineering experience, or manufacturing engineering experience will primarily focus on supporting the U.S. Navy Ford-class Aircraft Launch and Recovery (ALRE) carrier programs. This team member is responsible for evaluating changes needed to the U.S. Navy ALRE baselines for modernization, enhancements in reliability/robustness, obsolescence, or design changes for manufacturing (DFM). This team member will present those changes in the form of an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) or Requests for Variance (RFV) both internally and to the customer.  This team member is responsible for the transition of an ECP from the pre-approved, development phase to approved implementation phase within the GA-EMS engineering organization. This team member may also represent ALRE engineering in the internal Quality Assurance (QA) Material Review Board (MRB).   

With limited direction, this position exercises considerable latitude in organizing the technical objectives for the review, research, design, development, and/or solution to advanced technical engineering problems. This position may also function in an advisory or project leadership role, providing input to peers and/or leadership to junior professional staff.
