Job Description Summary

The Edison Works Military Material Systems Section supports development, industrialization, and manufacturing of ceramic, polymeric, and metallic materials for Edison Works' military products. The Laboratory Operations Subsection Manager leads the team that runs the section's material and specimen laboratories - ensuring material systems are appropriately developed and matured into test-ready specimens for characterization, that processes are documented, and that materials advance through TRL/MRL maturation.

This leader owns safe, on-time, quality lab throughput; has a unique opportunity to lead the team through facility and equipment upgrade projects; stands up and runs low-rate production activities; and helps build and scale the team as the mission grows. This is a people-leadership role grounded in program management, laboratory operations, and GE Aerospace FLIGHT DECK (lean) principles.
