About Remote Robotic Systems Help build the next generation of uncrewed aircraft operating at the intersection of aerospace, robotics, and defence technology.

Remote Robotic

Systems (RRS) is a Canadian robotics and defence‑tech company helping organizations deploy enterprise‑grade drones, uncrewed aircraft, robotic platforms, sensors, payloads, and remote operations technologies for mission‑critical applications. Airmetal is looking for a Mechanical Project Manager to lead the engineering program behind our next‑generation aircraft development efforts. You’ll own the schedule, critical path, engineering processes, supplier coordination, and integration across multiple technical disciplines, ensuring parallel development efforts stay aligned and focused on delivering flight‑ready hardware.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering and program leadership. You’ll work closely with aerodynamics, materials, manufacturing, electrical, and test teams, helping define how work is planned, reviewed, documented, and delivered. You’ll also play a key role in managing technical interfaces, resolving competing priorities, and giving the team the structure needed to execute against ambitious milestones.

We’re looking for someone who can see both the technical details and the bigger picture. Someone who is comfortable building process where it doesn’t yet exist, making decisions with imperfect information, and keeping people aligned and moving forward in a fast‑paced aerospace and defence‑tech environment. Own program schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, and critical path activities.

Build and maintain the engineering processes and project structure required to support aircraft development. Coordinate work across aerodynamics, materials, manufacturing, electrical, and test teams. Lead design reviews, technical discussions, and program decision‑making activities.

Manage suppliers, vendors, contract manufacturers, and external partners. Coordinate long‑lead materials, prototype builds, testing activities,



and field trials. Support engineering governance, documentation, configuration management, and requirements management practices.

Help establish priorities, allocate resources, and keep teams focused on key objectives. Foster a cooperative, accountable, and high‑performing engineering culture. Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.

Aerospace experience with demonstrated leadership on aircraft, UAV, RPAS, or other complex engineering development programs. Strong understanding of mechanical systems, structures, manufacturing processes, and product development.

Experience managing project schedules, risks, dependencies, and resources.

Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams and stakeholders.

Experience building or improving engineering processes and project structures. Able to work on‑site in Ottawa, Ontario.

Experience with prototype development, flight testing, validation, or low‑volume manufacturing. Familiarity with systems engineering, requirements management, or configuration management.

Experience working with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and external partners. Knowledge of RPAS regulations, airworthiness requirements, or aerospace quality standards. You can balance technical detail with the bigger picture. The opportunity to lead a technically ambitious aircraft development program. The ability to help build engineering systems and processes from the ground up. Competitive compensation, benefits, and equity participation.

Type : Full‑time.

Location : On‑site in Kanata, ON Compensation : $120,000-$150,000 plus equity and benefits, based on experience and fit for the role.

Security clearance: Some roles are conditional on the ability to obtain and maintain the required security clearance. We may use AI tools to help with parts of our hiring process, such as reviewing applications, screening resumes, and evaluating candidate responses. These tools support our team, but people make all hiring decisions.
