CHAOS is looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter to lead full-cycle recruiting out of our Washington, D.C. office, with a focus on hardware and engineering talent tied to aircraft and airborne systems development. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and our broader recruiting org to build pipelines for engineers across a range of technical disciplines, with particular emphasis on roles connected to flight hardware and systems. This is a high-ownership role for someone who understands what it takes to hire engineers building real, flying systems, not just software.

• Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering roles, from initial screening through offer

• Partner with hiring managers to deeply understand technical requirements across disciplines such as airframe and structures, flight controls, autonomy, propulsion, systems engineering, and flight test

• Build and execute sourcing strategies to identify engineers with relevant aircraft or airborne systems development experience, drawing on your own network in the space

• Develop pipelines for niche, hard to fill roles where candidates are scarce and competition is high

• Partner with Recruiting Coordinators, fellow Recruiters, and Operations to keep the hiring process efficient

• Maintain and report on pipeline metrics and hiring progress to leadership and internal stakeholders

• Develop a working understanding of the technical roadmap and culture of the teams you support, in order to accurately represent roles to candidates

• Recommend and implement process improvements as hiring needs evolve

• Run point on any external recruiting agencies supporting niche or hard to source roles

• Deliver a high touch, proactive candidate experience for a talent pool that has options

• Work 4 to 5 days onsite out of our Washington, D.C. office
