Chief Engineer, EVSA

Enhanced Vehicle Situational Awareness (EVSA) Chief Engineer Reports To: EVSA Program Manager Location: Warren, Michigan, with CONUS and international travel Clearance: Active DoD SECRET clearance; U.S. citizenship required. Travel: Approximately 20-30%, including CONUS pilot site support and possible extended deployment to Bulgaria Compensation: $180,000-$205,000, commensurate with experience, plus standard benefits Position Summary The EVSA Chief Engineer is the technical authority for validating Government-furnished EVSA technical data, overseeing integration of camera and mounting hardware onto ground combat vehicles, and ensuring the fielded configuration meets functional, safety, and interface requirements. This role bridges Government-furnished engineering data and the physical, fielded system; confirming fit, resolving configuration gaps, and supporting hands-on integration and pilot validation activities. Key Responsibilities • Review and validate Government-furnished technical data (design, interfaces, qualification data) for applicability to the specific vehicle configuration(s) being fielded. • Provide engineering oversight of sub-contractors and material suppliers' mounting/bracket design and fabrication. • Oversee sourcing and integration of camera hardware, cable assemblies, and other FED95-procured components. • Lead or support fit-check and integration activities, including any prototype or CONUS pilot installation events. • Identify and resolve configuration gaps between the Government-furnished baseline and actual fielded vehicles, escalating to Government engineering authorities as needed rather than independently redesigning the system. • Support residual cybersecurity coordination confirming the fielded configuration's security posture remains valid. • Support production readiness reviews and quality verification of fielded kits. • Document engineering findings, as-built configuration, and any design adjustments required for production. Required Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or related field. • 5+ years of engineering experience in defense, ground vehicle, or systems integration programs. • Hands-on experience with mechanical/electrical integration, fit-check, or prototype validation work. • Ability to read, interpret, and validate technical data packages, interface control documents, and specifications. • Active DoD SECRET clearance; U.S. citizenship required. • Willingness to travel internationally, for trips of up to several weeks. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with Army combat or tactical vehicle platforms. • Camera, sensor, or electro-optical systems integration experience. • Experience working with Government-furnished technical data packages and configuration management. • Familiarity with MIL-STD-810 (environmental) and MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) considerations.
