If you're an experienced engineering leader with deep knowledge of machining processes and a drive to make a meaningful impact across a global manufacturing footprint, this is a career-defining opportunity.

• Collaborate with commercial and business development teams to evaluate the technical feasibility and market potential of new product opportunities.
• Monitor engineering project timelines, budgets, and deliverables across multiple sites, ensuring alignment with customer requirements and internal milestones.
• Serve as a hands-on technical mentor and coach, developing talent and fostering a high-performance engineering culture.
• Regularly review project and operational performance data to identify risks and implement corrective actions as needed.
• Perform other related duties and strategic initiatives to advance Pursuit Aerospace's engineering capabilities and customer satisfaction.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals to perform the essential functions.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science degree in an engineering discipline, preferably Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering.
• A minimum of 10 years of engineering experience, with a strong preference for experience in aerospace manufacturing environments, particularly in machining and precision component production.

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship now or in the future.
• Must be able to perform work subject to ITAR/EAR regulations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proven ability to communicate effectively and build strong cross-functional relationships at all levels of the organization.
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams in fast-paced, high-mix manufacturing environments, with a focus on delivering results and driving accountability.
• Deep knowledge of machining processes, tooling design, functional gauging, and fixture development in aerospace or similarly regulated industries.
• Hands-on experience with CAD and NC programming, along with a solid understanding of equipment functionality and maintenance requirements.
• Working knowledge of program management principles, including estimating, proposal development, and collaboration with commercial teams.
• Familiarity with Kaizen, and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Strong negotiation skills, particularly in the procurement of capital equipment and tooling.
• Detail-oriented, organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a dynamic, matrixed environment.
• Skilled in talent development, with the ability to coach, mentor, and lead high-performing engineering teams.

• Personal protective equipment (e.g., safety glasses and safety shoes) is required on the shop floor.
• Lifting up to 20-30 lbs. may be occasionally required.
• Occasional weekend and evening work may be required to accommodate priorities, deadlines, and schedules.

Compensation & Benefits:

In compliance with pay transparency requirements, the salary range for this role is $170,000 - 200,000. This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, as final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience, education, and geographic location.

The specific programs and options available to an employee may vary depending on date of hire, schedule type, and the applicability of collective bargaining agreements, among other things.

This role is remote with frequent travel required-approximately 50%-to support sites across the U.S. and internationally. While relocation is not required, candidates located near a major airport are strongly preferred to support travel efficiency.

Equal Opportunity Employer:

Pursuit Aerospace is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment, and we do not tolerate workplace harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, or veteran status.
