Senior, Engineering Delivery Manager (EDM)

About the role

The main objective of this role is to identify technical gaps in engineering tasks to ensure scalable and predictable engineering execution. The Senior EDM owns the internal engineering execution architecture. This role turns high-level engineering objectives into a complete task breakdown with clear owners, dependencies, deliverables, and readiness criteria, ensuring there are no gaps or overlaps across disciplines. The role partners closely with PMO, which owns the integrated master schedule and external communications with customers and vendors, to ensure seamless execution of internal and external milestones.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the engineering work breakdown structure across systems, electrical, mechanical, controls, software, compliance, test, manufacturing readiness, and field readiness.
• Define clear scope boundaries, handoffs, and ownership to prevent gaps and duplicated work across teams.
• Create phase gate readiness criteria for key milestones such as requirements freeze, design freeze, build readiness FAT readiness, certification readiness, and release readiness.
• Translate engineering changes into task level impacts and provide schedule and resourcing inputs to PMO for baseline updates.
• Work directly with the Director of Engineering on task planning and scope checks, and highlight critical path risks early.
• Run a recurring engineering execution cadence including weekly progress reviews, dependency reviews, and risk issue decision tracking.
• Drive cross functional alignment on deliverables, sequencing, and acceptance criteria.
• Design and implement operational processes to track and quantify engineering outcomes and execution efficiency.
• Establish a consistent operating system for engineering execution including WBS standards, JIRA structure, engineering RAID and decision logs, and milestone readiness reviews.
• Use Six Sigma CTQ to support structured
