Supreme Integrated Technology is looking for candidates who want to take the next step in their career to join our 100% employee-owned company. SIT’s engineering expertise transforms ideas into success for hydraulic and electrically powered moveable structures. SIT specializes in custom systems and projects, making every project unique and offering the opportunity to solve challenging problems for customers. Our projects are typically for marine, oil & gas, defense, civil (movable bridges) and industrial power unit applications. We pride ourselves on a culture of teamwork—because we are a smaller company, you can be involved in every aspect of a project and make an impact from start to finish.

We are seeking a highly experienced Director of Engineering to be a leader in SIT’s multidisciplinary engineering organization and drive technical excellence across hydraulic, electric, and electrohydraulic system solutions. This role is responsible for engineering strategy, technical execution, talent development, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards. The Director of Engineering will work closely with integrated systems, engineering operations, sales, project management, and key customers to translate complex requirements into engineered-to-order solutions that support SIT’s long-term growth strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engineering Leadership & Strategy: participate in SIT’s engineering leadership team to define and execute SIT’s engineering strategy aligned with business objectives, market opportunities, and emerging technologies in electrification, automation, and fluid power systems.
• Technical Oversight: Provide senior-level technical guidance and design review for complex hydraulic, electric and structural projects, ensuring compliance with customer requirements, codes, standards, and best practices.
• Team Development: Build technical depth, promote knowledge sharing, and support succession planning.
• Project Execution & Accountability: Partner with project management and operations to ensure engineering deliverables support efficient fabrication, testing, installation, and commissioning.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with sales, system integration and engineering operation teams during pursuit and proposal phases to support solution development, technical risk assessment, and cost accuracy.
• Defense Compliance & Security Standards: Provide engineering leadership for defense-related programs by ensuring projects comply with CMMC 2.0 cybersecurity requirements and applicable MIL-SPEC standards. Partner with internal stakeholders, customers, and suppliers to uphold security, documentation, and technical compliance across the full project lifecycle.
• Process Improvement & Standards: Establish and maintain engineering processes, design standards, documentation practices, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance quality, consistency, and scalability.
• Customer & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a technical interface with key customers, OEMs, classification societies, and regulatory bodies for high-visibility or technically complex programs.
• Technology & Innovation: Stay current on industry trends in electrification, controls, energy storage, and fluid power to guide technology adoption and future system architectures.
• Safety & Quality Leadership: Promote a culture of safety, quality, and accountability within the engineering team and across the project lifecycle.
• Other duties as assigned.
