Job Description

Engineering Project Manager – Lead High-Impact Projects in Aerospace & Tactical Tech

Take Ownership of Projects That Power Safety Around the World

Looking to make a bigger impact without getting lost in the layers of a massive organization? Join a company that's small enough to give you real autonomy, but big enough to supply the world’s top aircraft manufacturers and military forces with life-saving emergency and tactical lighting systems.

We’re seeking a skilled Engineering Project Manager who’s ready to lead major design efforts and partner closely with engineering leadership. In this role, you’ll manage programs from concept through production, and contribute directly to the design of advanced lighting, batteries, electrical harnesses, and other mission-critical gear.

What You Can Expect

• Lead meaningful projects. You won’t be stuck overseeing minor updates. You’ll manage full product designs and major redesigns that are shipped globally.
  
  

• Be a core contributor. Work side-by-side with the Chief Engineer and Production teams to take products from prototype to production.
  
  

• Work in a culture that values you. We have a tight-knit, family feel with regular paid team events and a diverse, inclusive culture.
  
  

• Have room to grow. You'll gain visibility, variety, and access to decision-makers—plus the chance to influence design direction and team processes.
  
  

Key Responsibilities

• Project management related to new product design and significant redesigns

• Leads regular engineering meetings for aviation and military engineering projects

• Monitors and manages project schedules and milestones

• Collaborates with the Chief Engineer for new product design and development
