Technical Project Engineer - Airborne Optical Systems

Overview

Technical Project Manager - Airborne Optical Systems. This role centers on turning technical ambition into delivered reality within a highly multidisciplinary organization including Engineering Labs (Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Gateware, Systems), Operations, Leadership, and Customers. The role emphasizes outcome ownership—clarifying priorities, managing risk, sequencing interdependencies, and driving decisions in complex, fast-moving environments.

This is a senior role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, brings technical credibility, and leads through influence rather than authority. You will guide programs from early uncertainty through execution, balancing long-term system milestones with short-term tradeoffs in design, supply chain, and resourcing. As PVLabs evolves, you will help shape how programs are planned, governed, and scaled across a growing portfolio of airborne ISR systems. Your Center of Gravity: The PVLabs Engineering Council.
