Responsibilities

Lead and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for systems, reliability, safety, configuration, project, and product engineering activities across the product lifecycle, with a focus on system-level work.
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.
Drive engineering readiness for integration, validation, deployment, and sustainment by coordinating people, parts, facilities, tooling, documentation, and technical dependencies.
Collaborate with development teams to identify and implement cost-reduction opportunities by integrating maintainability and sustainability into product design.
Establish clear ownership, priorities, and accountability within the team 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.
Establish and lead a site-wide gemba process across R&D, engineering, and manufacturing spaces, applying practical Lean principles to identify safety risks, inefficiencies, execution barriers, and improvement opportunities.
Partner with engineering, facilities, manufacturing, materials management, program management, and other functions to identify and resolve technical and execution risks and support product- and system-level outcomes.
Hire, mentor, develop, and assess engineering talent while building capabilities to support current and future generations of quantum computers.
