Engineering Manager

ASI is hiring an Engineering Manager!

Tired of the traditional big company culture — rigid schedules, watching the clock, and feeling like another employee number? At Aerospace Systems International (ASI), we believe there's a better way to work in aviation.

We're an employee-first company built around trust, flexibility, and accountability. We hire talented people, give them meaningful work, and trust them to deliver — without unnecessary micromanagement.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our engineering team supporting aircraft certification programs. This position will oversee Certification Engineers and FAA DERs/ODA Authorized Representatives, ensuring projects stay on schedule, deliverables meet quality expectations, and team members have the support they need to succeed.

What You'll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Certification Engineers and FAA DERs/ODA Authorized Representatives.
• Plan, prioritize, and assign work to ensure project deliverables are completed accurately and on time.
• Oversee multiple projects, ensuring schedules, customer requirements, and quality expectations are met.
• Manage employee performance, provide feedback, and support professional development.
• Coordinate with customers and internal teams to address project requirements and resolve challenges.
• Work across Engineering teams to resolve design or production conflicts.
• Establish and oversee department goals aligned with company objectives.
• Support onboarding, training, and continuous improvement of team processes.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management, Engineering, Technology, or a related field preferred. Equivalent education and relevant professional experience will be considered.
• 5+ years of progressive leadership or management experience preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and develop professional or technical teams.
• Experience managing employee performance, workloads, departmental priorities, and professional development.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to oversee multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
• Experience in engineering, aerospace, aviation, or another technical environment preferred, but not required.
• Strong communication, organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications and the ability to learn company systems and technical software.
• Ability to effectively lead employees working across different locations, time zones, and work arrangements.
• Ability to travel approximately 5% of the time.
