We welcome all those who have big ideas, crave innovation, want to drive fielding velocity, and have the passion to bring the warfighter home safe.
We are seeking a Product Producibility & Launch Engineer (P2L Engineer) with deep Antenna expertise to join our emerging‑technology and development programs. The incumbent will apply the full spectrum of P2L responsibilities (DFM, DFT, DTUPC, and Transition‑to‑Production) while serving as the go‑to antenna specialist for any program that contains significant antenna hardware or requires antenna‑related producibility support.
The P2L Program Engineer is charged with providing technical leadership, support, and direction for new product designs intended to be transitioned into Production from Engineering.
