CHIEF ENGINEER JOB DESCRIPTION

Twelve or more years in aerospace systems engineering is the typical runway before this seat. A Chief Engineer in defense and aerospace holds final design authority over assigned programs, meaning a flawed call on airworthiness certification or system integration does not surface until a test failure, a non-conformance board, or a program review in front of government customers. That accountability shapes every decision this role makes. The Chief Engineer owns the technical roadmap for assigned systems, directs multi-disciplinary engineering teams through development and sustainment phases, and serves as the primary technical interface with prime contractors, military counterparts, and certification bodies operating under ITAR and export compliance regimes.

As the Chief Engineer, you are accountable for the technical integrity of defense or aerospace programs from conceptual design through qualification, ensuring all engineering deliverables meet airworthiness, schedule, and cost objectives while satisfying government and prime customer requirements. You operate within a program core team structure, providing engineering authority that shapes risk trade-offs, resource allocation, and corrective action decisions across multiple active task areas or system development phases.

Career Impact: Holding design authority on programs subject to military airworthiness certification builds a verifiable record of technical accountability that distinguishes senior engineers competing for program- or division-level engineering leadership roles.

Business Impact: The engineering decisions made in this role directly determine whether a program clears Life Cycle Gate reviews on schedule and whether non-conformances reach the customer or are resolved internally, affecting both contract retention and bid competitiveness.

Growth Opportunity: Managing earned value commitments across NRC/RC planning cycles and leading Root Cause and Corrective Action investigations expands your portfolio toward Chief Technical Officer or VP of Engineering pathways within defense prime or tier-one supplier organizations.

• Own technical design authority for assigned aerospace or defense systems, resolving cross-functional issues including non-conformances and Material Review Board actions.
• Define and maintain the system technical roadmap, ensuring all program engineering efforts remain aligned with certification and customer requirements.
• Lead failure analysis and root cause investigations using corrective action methodologies to resolve systemic technical deficiencies.
• Implement earned value management across engineering activities, tracking NRC and RC cost and schedule performance against program baselines.
• Direct engineering design reviews including PDR and CDR, ensuring adequate follow-up on action items with internal teams and external customers.
• Manage program risk by identifying technical risks, determining mitigation actions, and communicating recovery plans to senior and executive leadership.
• Mentor and develop assigned engineers, providing input to performance assessments and supporting succession planning within the engineering function.
• Support business development by leading technical proposal efforts and acting as the primary engineering contact for new program pursuits.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, systems, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent work experience.
• 12 or more years of relevant engineering experience, with demonstrated leadership of multi-disciplinary technical teams on defense or aerospace programs.
• Proven experience as a technical approval authority with recognized seniority in design, analysis, or product development within a regulated aerospace environment.
• Working knowledge of airworthiness certification processes and applicable regulatory requirements under military or civil aviation standards.
• Demonstrated ability to manage engineering cost and schedule using earned value management principles on government or prime contractor programs.
• Experience conducting and leading formal engineering design reviews and presenting technical findings to government, prime contractor, or senior executive audiences.
• Familiarity with export compliance regimes including ITAR, with the ability to maintain and handle export-controlled technical information appropriately.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience preparing and delivering technical reports, cost estimates, and briefings to senior stakeholders.

• Master's degree in an engineering discipline or an MBA with demonstrated application to engineering program management decisions.
• Experience with specific aerospace domains such as sounding rocket systems, atmospheric control systems, or transparency and ice protection product lines.
• Familiarity with government-approved Earned Value Management Systems and program reporting structures used by Army, Navy, or Air Force program offices.
• Prior experience writing technical proposals for government funding bodies or competitive defense acquisitions.

• Technical review closure rate, measuring the percentage of PDR/CDR action items resolved within agreed timelines.
• NRC cost variance at program milestones, reflecting accuracy of engineering cost planning against earned value baselines.
• Non-conformance resolution cycle time, tracking how quickly MRB and RCCA items are closed without customer escape.
• Airworthiness deliverable on-time rate, measuring engineering submissions against certification plan schedule commitments.
• Proposal win rate on programs where the Chief Engineer led the technical volume, indicating technical credibility with government customers.
• Typical tools: program scheduling (commonly MS Project or equivalent); earned value and configuration management platforms (commonly Teamcenter or equivalent)

• Base Salary Range: $175,000 to $230,000 annually, depending on seniority and program scope
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus, typically 10% to 20% of base salary
• Equity: Stock options or RSUs offered at larger defense primes; varies by company size
• Health Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employee and dependents
• PTO: 15 to 25 days annually, plus federal holidays standard in defense sector
• Common Perks: Security clearance sponsorship, tuition reimbursement, and professional certification support
