# Aerospace Engineering Manager at AEVEX AEVEX Aerospace seeks an experienced engineering manager to lead a team of 10-20 engineers in Tampa, Florida, overseeing the design, development, and manufacturing of aerospace and defense systems. Beyond team leadership—including hiring, mentoring, performance management, and career development—you'll actively contribute to project work yourself. Your responsibilities span managing technical assignments, allocating resources, developing budgets, ensuring quality and safety compliance, and championing process improvements for efficiency and waste reduction. This role suits someone with deep expertise in aerospace and mechanical engineering who thrives in a dual contributor-leader capacity. You should excel at strategic thinking and problem-solving while comfortably translating complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences like investors and senior management. Experience with SOLIDWORKS, 3D printing, propulsion systems, and mechanical design is expected, alongside proficiency in Jira, Confluence, and MS Project. The position is full-time and onsite in Tampa with occasional travel to testing facilities and supplier sites. Development periods may involve extended hours around project deadlines and field testing environments. This is ideal for someone passionate about building and developing engineering talent while maintaining hands-on involvement in cutting-edge aerospace projects.
