The candidate will have to be detail oriented and possess excellent communication skills with proficiency in technical writing, engineering documentation, and verbal presentation.
The candidate will mentor junior and mid-level engineers with the incorporation of systems engineering processes, tools, and best practices from the start of each design effort through final deployment and delivery to the customer.
Must be able to support in-person interactions with customers at local Naval research center in Newport, RI and occasionally at external customer sites.
