Castelion
Overview
Scaling an A+ Team | Engineers Wanted: Get Your Hands Dirty, See Your Work Fly in Weeks (Not Years). Design it. Build it. Test it. Then watch it fly. About Castelion Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We are designing, building, and testing next generation long range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts. As a Project Engineer at Castelion, your mission is simple: get results. You will lead projects on tight schedules, perform hands-on technical work, and solve problems. With minimal supervision, you will drive engineering solutions to completion while balancing long-term goals with the need for rapid, short-term success.
Responsibilities
Problem-Solving and Firefighting: be the first line of defense against setbacks, including rebuilding test rigs, addressing test failures, or navigating in-house alternatives to sourcing blockers. You will perform hands-on work and know when to involve new suppliers. Organize, execute, and drive long-duration test campaigns (sometimes over months), owning the process from start to finish without waiting for direction on new or novel designs. Action-Oriented Approach: take initiative, operate with urgency, and develop high-impact parallel designs to explore innovative solutions. Deliver quality results in short timeframes, prioritizing efficiency without cutting corners.
Core Competencies
Mechanical Fabrication Hands-on fabrication using machine tools, hand tools, and ideally CNC. Modify drawings, write manufacturing process instructions (MPIs), and train technicians to execute builds. Familiarity with soldering, harness assembly, and other detailed fabrication tasks. Test Execution and Documentation Install instrumentation and run data acquisition systems. Write detailed test procedures, reports, and document findings with precision. Debug test software and manage systems like Raspberry Pi, servos, and other test apparatus. Field Leadership and Organization Lead, organize, and execute complex test campaigns with airtight BOMs, well-documented results, and attention to detail. Be proactive in gathering necessary information from the team and taking action to keep projects on track.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelors or Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Willingness to travel as needed.
Leadership Qualities
Bias to Action and Creative Problem Solving . Desire and experience questioning assumptions to implement breakthrough ideas. Apply processes/materials from other industries to achieve efficiency gains. Resolve minor issues in development without significant support. High Commitment, High Initiative . Passion for Castelion's mission and a proactive approach to contributing to technical goals and preventing blockers. Ability to work in a fast-paced, autonomous, demanding environment with accountability and integrity. Clear Communicator . Proactively communicates blockers and maintains relationships with regulators, suppliers, gatekeepers, and customers. Clear, logical written and verbal communications to eliminate ambiguity.
