Manager, Engine Control System Avionics

Responsibilities

• Manage your project scope by ensuring scrappy and cost-effective execution while maintaining a tight grip on the project deliverables needed to meet program objectives.
• Identify and manage technical and programmatic risks/opportunities. This includes technical, scope (i.e., cost and schedule), asset and safety risks and opportunities specific to program and project execution.
• Risk management includes identifying, documenting, communicating, developing mitigation plans and collaborating with your peers & program leaders to drive outcomes to program acceptable levels.
• Cook up and manage project execution, ensuring scrappy and cost-effective execution while maintaining a tight grip on the project deliverables needed to meet program objectives.
• Coordinate and partner with Enterprise functions to drive subsystem cost and meet delivery objectives.
• Track and manage your team execution, and subsystem cost/life cycle cost.
• Create the framework used to develop and drive collection of project data and use this data to inform & monitor key project metrics.
• Technical Leadership: Develop and oversee the technical plan, ensuring it aligns to both negotiated customer requirements (vehicle and engine) and internal design criteria.
• Own the overall lifecycle of your assigned product scope from development through qualification/ rate production and successful cost-optimized commercial flight operations.
• Manage interdisciplinary engineering tasks for overall system success.
• Ensure the quality of engineering outputs, providing technical direction and guidance to the team.
• Support requirement decomposition and allocation, systems engineering, technical design, analysis, and verification/validation – including strong management and bi-directional alignment of interfaces between customers and project technical efforts.
• Functional Management: Oversee the full lifecycle of your employees including talent acquisition, employee development, and when needed, performance management.
• Foster an environment of continuous growth and learning, ensuring compliance with HR processes and policies.
