Marine Electric Systems is seeking a hands-on Director of Engineering / Chief Engineer to lead and strengthen our engineering function as we continue expanding our defense manufacturing, repair, sustainment, and legacy product capabilities.
This is a key leadership role for an experienced electrical engineering professional who enjoys solving practical manufacturing problems, supporting legacy defense products, mentoring younger engineers, and helping a growing company move faster. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical judgment, urgency, structure, and a willingness to work directly with engineering, production, sales, business development, procurement, quality, and leadership.
