Job Description

Job Description Insight Global is looking for a Lead Proposal Engineer who owns the end-to-end execution of complex aerospace and defense proposals, serving as the central coordinator across engineering, operations, program management, and leadership. This role leads the overall proposal effort assembling technical content, ensuring compliance, and integrating inputs from chief engineers, technicians, and internal subject matter experts. The Lead Proposal Engineer performs a significant portion of the technical writing, interfaces with internal stakeholders to translate engineering concepts into compliant proposal language, and ultimately assembles and presents the final proposal package, occasionally at the executive or CEO level. Depending on site assignment, the role may support highly R D-driven, first-time designs or more production-oriented proposal efforts, requiring adaptability across varied program types and customers. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
