Principal Engineer
Job details
Full job description
Halcyon Labs is hiring a Principal Engineer to join our Orlando team.
About Halcyon Labs
Halcyon Labs is a regional technology and aerospace engineering business serving Central Florida since 2014. We operate 6 locations and have built a reputation for consistent quality and dependable teams.
About the role
You'll set technical direction across several teams: shaping architecture, reviewing high-stakes designs, and making the build-versus-buy calls that stick for years. You'll spend part of each week in code or design reviews, part unblocking hard technical problems no one else can crack, and part mentoring senior engineers toward the same judgment. You'll translate business goals into technical strategy and push back when a shortcut will cost more later.
What you will bring
You've operated at staff or principal level before and have shipped systems that lasted. You influence without authority, write clearly, and know when to dig into detail and when to delegate. You care more about the team's output than your own commit count.
Apply with a current resume. We respond to every application within a week.
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, including architecture ownership for large systems
- A track record of technical leadership across multiple teams or products
- Strong written communication for design documents and technical strategy
- Eligibility to work in Canada
Benefits
- Tuition reimbursement for advanced engineering or MBA programs
- 401(k) match with strong vesting schedule
- Patent incentive program for inventors
- Annual conference attendance paid (AIAA, SAE, etc.)
