· Project Execution & Accountability: Partner with project management and operations to ensure engineering deliverables support efficient fabrication, testing, installation, and commissioning.

· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with sales, system integration, and engineering operations teams during pursuit and proposal phases to support solution development, technical risk assessment, and cost accuracy.

· Defense Compliance & Security Standards: Support engineering efforts for defense-related programs by ensuring designs comply with CMMC 2.0 cybersecurity requirements and applicable MIL-SPEC standards. Partner with internal stakeholders, customers, and suppliers to uphold security, documentation, and technical compliance across the full project lifecycle.

· Process Improvement & Standards: Contribute to the development and refinement of engineering processes, design standards, documentation practices, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance quality, consistency, and scalability.

· Customer & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a technical interface with key customers, OEMs, classification societies, and regulatory bodies for technically complex or high-visibility programs.

· Technology & Innovation: Stay current on industry trends in electrification, controls, energy storage, and fluid power to guide system design and technology adoption.

· Safety & Quality Leadership: Promote a culture of safety, quality, and accountability across engineering activities and throughout the project lifecycle.

· Other duties as assigned.
