At BlackSea, you won't just find a job; you'll find a community of experts who aspire to solve diverse and complex challenges. Be part of a company where your ideas matter, your expertise is valued, and your contributions make a real impact. Together, we are not just sailing; we are charting a course to push boundaries of what's possible.\nBlackSea is hiring multiple Project Engineers to lead and technically own multidisciplinary engineering projects. The Project Engineer is responsible for translating project objectives and requirements into an executable technical approach and carrying that effort from initial definition through design, procurement, integration, testing, and delivery. The Project Engineer may personally perform substantial portions of the engineering work on smaller projects, or lead and coordinate a multidisciplinary team on larger efforts.\nList of responsibilities include (but are not limited to):\nDuties required for the Project Engineer include coordinating and technically leading work involving some combination of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Autonomy & Controls Engineering, Software Engineering, Platform Systems Integration, Naval Architecture, Manufacturing, testing, and possibly including supply chain vendors and subcontractors.\nProject Engineers will translate a project into an actionable engineering plan. Responsibilities include:\nDefining the engineering scope of work\nBreaking the work into technical tasks\nIdentifying required engineering disciplines\nEstimating engineering effort with input from functional leads\nIdentifying required skills and resources\nDefining technical milestones\nIdentifying procurement and long-lead requirements\nEstablishing engineering dependencies\nIdentifying critical technical decisions\nSupporting development and maintenance of the engineering schedule\nTracking engineering progress\nIdentifying technical schedule risks\nRepresenting the project as a customer-facing technical representative when appropriate\nShepherding the project through fabrication, assembly, installation, hardware/software integration, troubleshooting, validation, field testing, customer demonstrations, and technical acceptance\nAdjusting the technical plan as project conditions change\nThe Project Engineer will \"own\" the engineering schedule, while the Program Manager owns the overall program schedule.\nProject Engineers will make or recommend decisions involving topics such as weight versus strength, power availability versus payload capability, performance versus cost, schedule versus design complexity, standard-product modification versus payload modification, commercial component versus custom design, redundancy versus weight/cost, thermal performance versus packaging, mechanical packaging versus maintainability, software solution versus hardware solution, vendor capability versus internal development, and technical risk versus schedule.\nProject Engineers own the integrated system solution, including the technical baseline and any cross-disciplinary trade-offs, along with the technical execution, project engineering schedule, and technical risk, but can rely on functional engineering personnel as needed, including Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Integration Engineers, to provide deep technical competency, methods, technical practices, discipline standards, reusable standards and lessons-learned, and discipline-specific reviews.\nProject Engineers do not need to perform as the deepest technical expert in every discipline. They should instead possess enough technical breadth to understand the major issues in each discipline, recognize when specialist expertise is required, ask appropriate technical questions, evaluate the impact of decisions across disciplines, identify interface problems, resolve competing technical requirements, and understand enough of specialists' recommendations to make system-level decisions.\nTravel Required\nUp to 3 trips a year/3-5 days a trip.\nRequirements\nRequired Skills/Education\n Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Systems Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.\n 5+ years of experience leading or owning multidisciplinary engineering efforts involving the design, integration, test, and delivery of complex electromechanical systems.\nStrong engineering fundamentals in at least one discipline.\nDemonstrated ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines.\nAbility to understand mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and system-interface issues sufficiently to lead integrated technical work.\nExperience leading projects from requirements through design, integration, test, and delivery.\nStrong technical decision-making and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to make engineering tradeoffs involving performance, cost, schedule, weight, power, reliability, and risk.\nAbility to develop and manage engineering plans and technical schedules.\nAbility to estimate resource requirements.\nStrong technical communication skills.\nStrong ownership characteristics and a technical curiosity to understand adjacent disciplines rather than treat them as someone else's problem.\nGood judgment, to distinguish what requires deep analysis, what can leverage standard practice, what is sufficiently low-risk to move quickly, and what requires escalation.\nDecisiveness to be able to make technical decisions with incomplete but adequate information.\nAbility to work directly with customers, vendors, and suppliers.\nAbility to lead engineers without necessarily having direct supervisory authority.\nAbility to operate effectively in a matrix organization.\nStrong written documentation and technical-review skills.\nDesired Skills/Education (but not required to be considered for hire)\nExperience with:\nMarine or unmanned systems;\nElectrical power systems;\nNetworking and communications;\nSensors and payload integration;\nEmbedded controls;\nAutonomous systems;\nMechanical packaging;\nEnvironmental qualification;\nField testing;\nCustomer technical reviews\nRequirements management;\nConfiguration management;\nEngineering-change processes;\nSupplier technical management;\nGovernment/defense programs;\nSalary Description\n$108,160 - $156,000","description_format":"text","description_chars":6676,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T22:56:07Z"}],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.666,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":16,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:0","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":156000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/blacksea-technologies-project-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/blacksea-technologies-project-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-27T05:38:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4995,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":5,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00Z"}}}
