The Project Engineer will be responsible for developing and maintaining design schedules that support our program needs, coordinating resources with functional management, and collaborating cross‑functionally with groups that enable Packaging designs—such as the ECAD, stress analysis, and thermal analysis teams. Planning activities will span the full program lifecycle, from early‑phase baseline development and BOE support to mid‑program re‑baselining to reflect changing requirements or constraints to post release changes. The PE will track the organization’s design‑performance metrics, communicate those results to both program stakeholders and functional leaders, and manage Earned‑Value Management (EVM) data for all design work to refine planned‑versus‑actual estimates across multiple effort streams. In addition, the role emphasizes proactive program outreach to verify that customer needs are being met and that service delivery aligns with the team’s high‑quality standards. Upon completion of each effort, the Project Engineer will solicit feedback, identify corrective actions, and document lessons learned with Packaging leadership to drive continuous improvement. Our team supports a variety of different programs and design efforts ranging from Support Equipment to Flight Electronics Boxes. Within this role you will have a direct impact on the organizations ability to meet schedule milestones associated with design release. Additionally, the role will at times require coordination with Production Operations for floor support needs.
