Own technical execution for a subset of Digital Engineering initiatives and programs
Contribute thought leadership around the Istari platform, its applications, and required capabilities

Take on delegated responsibilities from the Director of Digital Engineering
Help define standards, best practices, and reusable technical patterns
Identify gaps in tooling, process, and team capabilities and propose improvements
Serve as a thought partner on the future of digital engineering at Istari—enabling engineers to “conduct the orchestra” of tools, not just play a single instrument
7+ years of experience in engineering (aerospace, systems, mechanical, electrical, or similar)
3+ years of experience leading or managing technical teams
Understanding of software fundamentals (APIs, data pipelines, services, integrations)
Experience working with engineering tools and ecosystems such as:
MBSE (e.g., Cameo, SysML)
CAD/PLM (e.g., CATIA, Teamcenter, similar)
Document and requirements systems
Simulations (FEA, CFD, etc)
Proven ability to balance hands-on technical work with people leadership
Excellent communication skills—able to explain complex technical concepts clearly
Experience in aerospace, defense, or other complex engineered systems
Exposure to model extraction, automation, and digital thread concepts
Experience working in product or platform-based environments
Comfort operating in ambiguity and shaping roles, processes, and scope as the organization evolves
This role is critical to scaling Istari’s Digital Engineering capability. You won’t just run a team—you’ll help define how digital engineering is practiced at Istari, enabling engineers to move faster, integrate better, and solve harder problems.
You’ll have real ownership, real influence, and a direct partnership with the Director of Digital Engineering to shape the future of the organization.
We've built a team of what we call Wizards -- people who bring depth in their domain and range across others, who are collaborative without being deferential, and who genuinely care about what we're building. We celebrate individual contributions, give feedback early and often, and argue about ideas so we can execute together.
There's no room here for hierarchy for its own sake, or for busywork that doesn't move the mission. We are outcomes-driven, and we hold each other to a high standard — with genuine respect for each person's expertise and wellbeing.
Focus is rewarded. Finish is remembered.
Facts are friendly. Even when they are not fun.
Fellowship is fundamental. Make others successful.
