The Project Engineer will be a part of the lead systems integration (LSI) team for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) upgrade that is used on the HIMARS and M270 MLRS launcher platforms.
As the LSI, KORD is focused on providing functional and product architecture, requirements definition, decomposition, and traceability at both the system and component levels of the GMLRS missile. For this role as the Project Engineer, it includes leading the maturation of GMLRS subsystems through the development process from concept to qualification.
- The role for the Project Engineer (PE) will support the Technical Lead Engineer, Lead Systems Engineer, and the Program Manager across functional disciplines for the design, development, integration, and testing of the GMLRS missile upgrades.
- The PE will have the opportunity to gain experience from a highly skilled engineering team to enhance his/her professional development while also gaining depth of knowledge of the GMLRS missile system.
- The PE will have the opportunity to witness system level flight tests of the upgraded GMLRS missile at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR).
- Should have experience in at least one key electronic sub-system of a missile, (e.g., electronic safe and arm fuze (ESAF), guidance set, RF sensor, electronic initiation safety device (EISD)) and be proactive in closing technical knowledge gaps to develop an understanding of the intent of all sub-systems that will make up the GMLRS upgrade.
- Takes ownership in the successful development of subsystem up to component qualification and support the integration into the overall missile system
- Support the tracking of system engineering metrics to measure the development progress of the GMLRS upgrade program
- Lead subsystem related IPT and WG meetings with subcontractors and members of Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC), Redstone Test Center (RTC), AMCOM Safety, and STORM Project Office members
- Supports the system and software safety engineering team in the review and development of system and software safety documentation per MIL-STD-882E

- Leads subcontractors to successful design reviews per the program entrance and exit criteria
- Identifies program risks for risk board review
- Develops and executed mitigation plans for approved risks
- Evaluate subcontractor SDRLs to ensure compliance with customer requirements
- Aid in the development of CDRLs to support key program design reviews
- Support the traceability of subsystem hardware and firmware requirements to the top-level missile system.
- Lead manufacturing verification activities for the subsystem, e.g., Pilot Line Verification (PLV)
- Support failure investigation teams and assist in root cause analysis and corrective action development
