Kitchen and Bath Designer - Remodeling

MSI Defense Solutions

<div>Position Overview
The Chief Engineer &ndash; Weapons Integration (WI) serves as MSI's senior technical authority for system architecture, weapons integration, and program-specific engineering design across all current and future weapons integration efforts.
This is MSI's most critical technical leadership position. The Chief Engineer - WI defines and governs the technical approach across weapons programs, with direct responsibility for weapon system architecture, effector and sensor integration, fire control interfaces, gimbal and EO-IR systems, and mission capability development. This role carries the technical credibility of MSI in front of government program offices, prime partners, and international customers.
This is a hands-on engineering leadership role, not an advisory or oversight position. The Chief Engineer - WI is expected to be on the shop floor reviewing hardware, in the lab validating integration approaches, and at the workstation reviewing designs - not just directing from a conference room. MSI does not employ consultants in leadership roles. Leaders at MSI build, solve, and deliver alongside their teams.
The Chief Engineer &ndash; Weapons Integration works in close coordination with the Director of Engineering Operations and the Lead Suspension and Mobility Engineer, with all three roles operating as peers with distinct areas of ownership. The Chief Engineer Weapons Integration is responsible for architecture, integration design, and technical authority over weapons programs; the Director of Engineering Operations owns engineering process execution, configuration management, test infrastructure, sustaining engineering, and manufacturing engineering support; and the Lead Suspension and Mobility Engineer oversees all mobility and suspension programs. Shared resource requests across these functions are arbitrated by the Vice President of Engineering. The roles are expected to sync weekly on cross-cutting priorities, and none has authority over the others' direct reports.
The Chief Engineer &ndash; WI also works in close partnership with the VP/GM Air Defense Programs, who owns program execution, customer relationships, and fielding. The Chief Engineer-WI provides technical authority; the VP/GM owns schedule, cost, and delivery. Together, they represent MSI's ability to execute weapons integration programs from design through fielding.
This position reports to the Vice President of Engineering.
The position requires a full-time work week spent in the shop and office. Normal hours are Monday through Thursday 7:00 AM &ndash; 4:30 PM and Friday 7:00 AM &ndash; 12:00 PM. Travel will be required for customer engagements, technical interchanges, test events, and program reviews. Most time will be spent at the main office in Mooresville, NC.
