Jobs at Curtiss-Wright Corporation

Design, analyze, document, and test mechanical components and systems for advanced nuclear reactor projects. Develop SolidWorks designs and manufacturing drawings, prepare specifications and test procedures, coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, support fabrication and testing, troubleshoot issues, and participate in customer technical discussions. The role requires hands-on problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and adaptability to evolving requirements.

Lead technical systems engineering for DoD vehicle systems: manage requirements, lead design reviews, guide cross-functional teams, develop technical documentation, and mentor staff. Ensure requirement flow-down, verification, and risk-minimizing solutions while interfacing with customers and leadership.

Manage repair planning and proposals: create plant maintenance orders, schedule test & evaluation, track BOE, prepare and revise repair proposals, coordinate with planning, purchasing, engineering, and customer services, and communicate status and delays to stakeholders.

Lead a mechanical design engineering team creating valve, actuator, and hydraulic assembly designs for nuclear power plants. Produce schematics and assembly drawings, define manufacturing processes and tolerances, collaborate with analysis (FEA/CFD), develop RFQ/RFI documentation, and communicate design solutions with customers. Support new product development and legacy product improvements.

Lead drafting, negotiation, administration and interpretation of commercial contracts (supply, services, software, NDAs). Support proposal preparation, advise management on contractual rights/obligations, enable program delivery, report contract issues to senior leadership, and develop contract policies and procedures.

Create and maintain detailed project schedules, analyze risks and critical path, develop cost profiles and budgets with earned value analysis, perform project setup, and support project teams with presentations, scheduling, and action item tracking.

Lead Systems Engineer responsible for technical leadership of systems engineering activities: requirements management, solution design, integration/test, technical documentation, reporting, training plans, and guiding cross-functional teams to meet customer requirements for military vehicle applications.

Lead large technical teams to design, integrate, test, and document rugged military vehicle computing systems. Serve as technical authority to customers and stakeholders, synthesize requirements into low-risk solutions, guide cross-functional teams, report status, evaluate performance, and recommend training and development.

Own and maintain integrated master schedules (IMS) for defense/aerospace programs, perform critical path and risk analyses, prepare schedule metrics and executive reports, support proposals and Integrated Baseline Reviews, coordinate cross-functional schedule updates, and drive scheduling process improvements.

Manage defense electronics programs ensuring contract compliance, schedule and cost control, risk mitigation, and customer satisfaction. Lead multidisciplinary teams through proposals, integration and test activities, performance reporting, and contingency planning. Support business development and act as company authority for internal and external customer relationships.

Provide technical and application support for mechanical and hydraulic products in the nuclear power industry: review RFPs/specs, propose technical solutions, estimate cost and lead times, write proposals, maintain equipment records, and travel to support customers and sales efforts.

Lead proposal cost and pricing analyst supporting defense proposals from RFP to award. Prepare cost estimates, pricing strategies, consolidated BOMs, ProPricer rate updates, pricing packages, and post-award analysis. Coordinate with procurement, product managers, finance, and leadership to secure approvals and optimize repeatable costing models.

Lead mechanical engineering design, analysis, and qualification for valves, actuators, and flow control devices used in advanced and existing nuclear power plants. Perform structural/stress, thermal, and seismic/dynamic analyses, develop technical solutions, advise on materials, create industry-standard reports, and collaborate across teams and with customers to improve and qualify products.

Designs and improves manufacturing processes for electronic defense assemblies. Supports NPI/DFM, creates work instructions and training, conducts methods analyses, estimates costs/BOEs, leads continuous improvement, and interfaces with design, quality, procurement, and production teams.

Lead test engineering for complex manufactured systems: design test plans and equipment, perform formal qualification and troubleshooting, develop test procedures and documentation, support automated test equipment maintenance and produce technical reports and data packages.

Lead sourcing, qualification, and lifecycle management of complex electronic components. Evaluate suppliers and alternative technologies to reduce cost and obsolescence risk, resolve supplier issues, develop vendor/component guidelines and standards, maintain component data and qualification records, and lead cross-functional teams and junior engineers.

Lead end-to-end manufacturing operations for defense electronics: drive production performance, lean transformation, compliance (AS9100/ITAR/Nadcap/DFARS), NPI readiness, MES/ERP use, budget and KPI management, and develop multi-shift teams to meet quality, cost, and delivery targets.

Lead technical execution for complex defense programs by developing and managing Integrated Master Schedules, coordinating cross-functional engineering teams, supporting risk/cost management, guiding technical reviews, aiding test and production readiness, and mentoring junior engineers to ensure on-time, compliant delivery.

Design and analyze complex mechanical and electromechanical systems and electronics packaging for defense customers. Lead design reviews, prototypes, testing, vendor interaction, documentation, configuration control, and mentor junior engineers while managing schedules and budgets.

Administer and maintain the AS9100 and FAA-certified QMS: document control, change controls, audits, corrective/preventive actions, FAA regulatory support, training, cross-functional coordination, and QMS metrics/reporting. Facilitate internal and 3rd-party audits, support root-cause analysis (8D/5 Whys), and manage document management/configuration through Agile workflows.
