Costa Mesa, CA on-site, 5 days/week
~6 months initial contract, 40 hours/week
Pay range: $50-70/hr.
Our client is a defense technology company on a mission to transform capabilities with advanced technology. Defense tech just had its biggest venture funding year ever, and 2026 opened near record highs investors have poured billions in, and the sector keeps smashing its own records. This is an exciting opportunity to jump into a category that's rapidly hiring, well-capitalized, and not slowing down.
The opportunity
Our client's Design team builds the physical show models and prototypes of the company's products the hardware you see on their site, at trade shows, and in their showrooms. Think Autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, robotics, drones - for someone who wants their work to touch the physical world, this is a great opportunity to see work come to life.
Right now, the team that produces these builds doesn't have a dedicated project manager keeping things on track. This contract role comes in to be that person: taking the logistical and coordination load off the builders so they can focus on the work. You'd partner closely with industrial design, operations, creative, and engineers, helping move projects along from concept through delivery.
