Overview

We are seeking a Product Line Lead (PLL) to define and execute the technical and strategic direction
for a portfolio of Electronic Warfare (EW) radar systems. This role bridges technology development,
product strategy, and cross-functional execution to deliver advanced capabilities that support next-
generation EW missions.
You will own the entire product lifecycle — from concept development through end-of-life — while
working in close collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, business development, and supply chain
teams.

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Roadmap
 Define and maintain a forward-looking product roadmap that aligns with mission requirements,
customer needs, and evolving EW threats.
 Translate market and technical inputs into actionable product development priorities and
investments.
Product Lifecycle Leadership
 Lead multi-disciplinary teams through product development, production transition, and
sustainment phases.
 Drive cost, schedule, and performance objectives with autonomy and accountability delegated by
the Market Segment Lead.
Capture & Proposal Support
 Partner with business development to shape pursuit strategies and win new opportunities.
 Lead or support proposal and RFI efforts — ensuring strong technical approaches, clear product
positioning, and alignment with customer expectations.
Cross-Functional Integration
 Coordinate efforts across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and program management to
ensure alignment and timely execution.
 Monitor performance metrics, manage technical risk, and ensure readiness for production and
delivery.
Customer & Stakeholder Engagement
 Interface directly with customers on technical and programmatic topics.
 Collaborate closely with program managers (who maintain contractual oversight) to focus your
efforts on product execution, innovation, and long-term portfolio strategy.
Technology Stewardship
 Stay current with emerging EW and RF technologies and integrate relevant innovations into
design and production processes.
