About the role
- You're joining a sizable organization with strong technical talent and real momentum already in motion.
- Success looks like an organization that is stronger, more cohesive, and more scalable than when you arrived - with stronger managers, improved systems, and a team ready to execute through certification and beyond.
- If you're energized by inheriting something strong and helping make it exceptional, we'd love to meet you!
Responsibilities
- Lead and Strengthen the Hardware Engineering Organization: Own the people, structure, and culture of a 30+ person (and growing!) hardware engineering organization spanning structures, aerodynamics, propulsion, electrical, and mechanical systems.
- Build on the strong technical foundation already in place while strengthening leadership, raising expectations, and creating a culture of accountability, rigor, and ownership.
- Coach and Develop Functional Managers: Invest deeply in the growth of functional managers and emerging leaders.
- Coach them to lead higher-performing teams, make stronger decisions, navigate complexity, and operate with greater ownership, consistency, and accountability.
- Own Delivery and Execution Rhythm: Establish clear operating cadences, decision-making mechanisms, and accountability systems that keep work moving.
- Mature Engineering Processes: Own the hardware side of REGENT's engineering operating system - including configuration management, design review discipline, documentation standards, release processes, and requirements traceability.
- Establish the right level of rigor for the current phase while building toward certification readiness.
- Build a Stronger Leadership Layer: Create the systems, expectations, and support that allow the next layer of leaders to grow and operate independently.
- Increase organizational leverage by developing managers and senior technical leads who can scale the business with you.
- Partner Across Engineering: Work closely with software engineering to co-own shared standards and a unified engineering culture.
