What you need

Nice to have
- Direct experience in vehicle-based system integration — automotive, military ground vehicles, tactical wheeled vehicles, heavy equipment, or similar upfit/integration environments (strongly preferred).
- Experience managing a portfolio with mixed production profiles — simultaneously supporting low-rate integrations and higher-volume production lines.
- Experience building or transforming successful production operation organizations and leading fast-paced, large-scale change management initiatives that influence culture, define tools & processes and improve competencies.
- Experience owning sustainment or in-service engineering for fielded hardware, including ECO execution, retrofit campaigns, and field-return root cause analysis.

What you get

- Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
Worth weighing
