Project Manager
Location: Portland, OR (Hybrid, remote flexibility) | Salary: $85K to $105K + Benefits | Employment: Full-time

WHO WE ARE
Altitude Aerospace delivers engineering and certification solutions for commercial and VIP aircraft programs worldwide. With FAA DER, EASA DOA, and TCCA DAO approvals, we support customers from concept through certification and in-service. Our 150+ person team across the US, Canada, and France works on programs for major OEMs and completion centers globally. We offer 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, SIMPLE IRA retirement plan, paid vacation and PTO, and 8 paid holidays.

THE ROLE
Lead aerospace engineering projects from kickoff to delivery, managing schedules, budgets, resources, and client relationships. You'll coordinate internal engineering teams and client stakeholders to keep complex technical programs on track and profitable. This role puts your project management skills to work on real aircraft certification and modification programs with firm delivery dates.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
Plan & Execute
  • Develop project plans with clear schedules, milestones, budgets, and resource allocation across multiple concurrent programs.
  • Manage project communication between clients and internal engineering teams (stress, certification, design, systems engineers).
  • Conduct regular project meetings, maintain detailed project documentation, and track progress against established baselines.
  • Keep organized RAIL (Risk, Action, Issue, Lesson learned) logs and maintain project tracking systems.
Deliver & Optimize
  • Ensure projects meet FAA/EASA certification requirements and client specifications while staying within budget and schedule constraints.
  • Monitor project financials, identify risks early, and implement corrective actions to keep programs profitable.
  • Coordinate resources across disciplines and manage dependencies to resolve bottlenecks before they impact delivery.
  • Produce clear status reports and communicate project health to leadership and clients.
Impact: Your work directly enables aircraft to enter service on time and on budget. You'll manage real engineering programs with measurable outcomes and visible client relationships.

WHAT YOU BRING
Required
  • Bachelor's in Engineering, Business, or related field (technical degree preferred)
  • 2+ years project management experience, preferably in aerospace, defense, or technical manufacturing
  • Proficiency in MS Project or similar project management software
  • Engineering familiarity to read drawings and explain technical details to clients
  • Strong communication, writing, leadership, and organizational skills for client-facing work
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with competing priorities.
PREFERRED
  • CAPM or PMP certification
  • Experience with aerospace certification programs (STCs, type certificates, or FAA/EASA approvals)
  • Background in aircraft engineering or modification programs
  • Familiarity with aerospace standards and regulatory requirements
WHY ALTITUDE
  • Real Programs: Manage active aircraft certification projects and STCs, not just studies
  • Variety: Exposure to commercial, VIP, and military platforms across multiple client programs
  • Growth: Small enough to wear multiple hats, large enough for international projects
  • Client Impact: Direct interaction with major aerospace OEMs and completion centers
  • Hybrid Flexibility: Portland-based with remote work options
CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
  • Hybrid remote role in the Portland, OR metro area with occasional travel (5-10% max to client locations)
  • Background check and drug screen may required
  • ITAR eligibility may apply (U.S. person status may be required)
Altitude Aerospace is an equal opportunity employer.
