The successful candidate will have a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Aerospace, Mechanical, Chemical, Systems, or related engineering discipline, with 10+ years of relevant experience. Expert knowledge of system engineering principles and practices, as well as high-level expertise with MS Project, Excel, and PowerPoint, are required.
