Vice President – Engineering & Manufacturing
| Executive Leadership | High-Impact Role
I’m currently partnering with a well-established aerospace manufacturing organization that is looking to bring on a Vice President of Engineering & Manufacturing to lead both product development and production operations.
This is a key executive leadership role responsible for driving the design, manufacturing, and delivery of highly engineered aerospace systems used on global aircraft platforms. The role oversees engineering, production, materials planning, and supply chain while working closely with program management, operations, and executive leadership.
If you enjoy building high-performing teams, improving manufacturing performance, and delivering complex aerospace programs, this could be a great opportunity.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
• Leading aerospace programs from design through production and delivery
• Overseeing engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and materials planning
• Driving operational efficiency, cost control, and production scalability
• Partnering with program management and commercial teams to support program execution and accurate cost estimates
• Implementing continuous improvement initiatives across engineering and manufacturing operations
• Ensuring compliance with aerospace quality standards and regulatory requirements
• Developing and mentoring leadership across engineering and production teams
What They’re Looking For
• 15+ years of experience in aerospace or complex manufacturing environments
• 10+ years leading engineering or production teams
• Strong experience supporting aerospace hardware programs from development through production
• Background in AS9100 or other regulated manufacturing environments
• Experience driving Lean manufacturing / operational improvement initiatives
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, manufacturing, or related field
• Ability to obtain U.S. security clearance is preferred
Why This Role Stands Out
• Executive leadership position with major influence on company strategy and operations
• Opportunity to lead both engineering innovation and manufacturing execution
• Highly visible role working directly with executive leadership and customers
• Strong growth potential as the company continues to expand
