Nice To Haves
- Experience supporting integration, validation, deployment, and sustainment of complex technical products or systems.
- Experience leading and developing multidisciplinary engineering teams across systems, reliability, project, product, mechanical, or related engineering disciplines.
- Experience with FMEA/DFMEA, reliability and maintainability engineering, system safety, requirements and verification, configuration management, and engineering change control.
- Experience with project engineering, engineering readiness, tactical planning, technical risk management, and structured problem solving for complex technical systems.
- Knowledge and practical application of Lean, gemba, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and continuous improvement methods in engineering, R&D, or manufacturing environments.
- Ability to work effectively across Engineering, Manufacturing, R&D, Facilities, Materials Management, Program Management, and other functions to align resources, resolve issues, and achieve shared outcomes.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical risks, priorities, and tradeoffs to engineers, partner organizations, and leadership.
Responsibilities
- Lead and develop a multidisciplinary team responsible for systems, reliability, safety, configuration, project, and product engineering activities across the product lifecycle, with a focus on the system level.
- Ensure robust product engineering practices, including DFMEA/FMEA, system safety and reliability analysis, maintainability analysis, requirements and verification management, technical risk and readiness assessments, root-cause and corrective-action processes, configuration management, and engineering change control.
- Coordinate people, parts, facilities, tooling, documentation, and technical dependencies to prepare for integration, validation, deployment, and sustainment work.
- Collaborate with development teams to identify and implement cost-reduction opportunities by incorporating integration, maintainability, and sustainability into product design.
- Establish team ownership, priorities, and accountability while balancing product-level priorities with individual-system and customer-deployment needs.
- Drive structured problem solving and continuous improvement using root-cause analysis, corrective actions, lessons learned, and other appropriate methods to improve safety, quality, reliability, schedule performance, and engineering effectiveness.
