We're an employee-first company built around trust, flexibility, and accountability. We hire talented people, give them meaningful work, and trust them to deliver — without unnecessary micromanagement.
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our engineering team supporting aircraft certification programs. This position will oversee Certification Engineers and FAA DERs/ODA Authorized Representatives, ensuring projects stay on schedule, deliverables meet quality expectations, and team members have the support they need to succeed.

- Plan, prioritize, and assign work to ensure project deliverables are completed accurately and on time.
- Oversee multiple projects, ensuring schedules, customer requirements, and quality expectations are met.
- Manage employee performance, provide feedback, and support professional development.
- Coordinate with customers and internal teams to address project requirements and resolve challenges.
- Work across Engineering teams to resolve design or production conflicts.
- Establish and oversee department goals aligned with company objectives.
- Support onboarding, training, and continuous improvement of team processes.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management, Engineering, Technology, or a related field preferred. Equivalent education and relevant professional experience will be considered.
- 5+ years of progressive leadership or management experience preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and develop professional or technical teams.
- Experience managing employee performance, workloads, departmental priorities, and professional development.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to oversee multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
- Experience in engineering, aerospace, aviation, or another technical environment preferred, but not required.
- Strong communication, organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications and the ability to learn company systems and technical software.
- Ability to effectively lead employees working across different locations, time zones, and work arrangements.
- Ability to travel approximately 5% of the time.
