Job Summary:

The Project Engineer (PE) is responsible for the Technical Management of the Program along with the oversight of performing requirements analysis and management, technical planning, systems-level design, systems integration, verification and validation, cost and risk management, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems.

The PE also performs functional and timeline analysis, detailed trade studies, and requirements interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into systems specifications.

Requirement analyses are performed at all levels of the total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, certification, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.

The PE is responsible for ensuring the logistical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total system solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints.

The PE is responsible for the planning and technical execution of the engineering content of an assigned project.

The PE plans, schedules, and manages the Engineering content on projects for new product development, along with sustaining and upgrade projects for existing products.

New product development includes projects that are solely designed in-house as well as those that are co-developed using other Elbit Systems companies or external suppliers and contractors.

The PE is the liaison between the Program Management Office (PMO) and the engineering team assigned to the project.
