System Virtual Performance Integration Manager

The Role

The System Virtual Performance Integration Manager (VPIM) is responsible for coordinating all propulsion system analysis activity for a product program and acts as the single point contact to the program chief engineer for propulsion system analysis.

This is a new role which is being implemented to increase analysis focus on complete propulsion system performance and vehicle integration.

What You'll Do

• Work with product team leadership to develop and maintain analysis plans (A-Plan) with timing to appropriately support product content changes of each build phase for all assigned electrification programs.
• Initiate analysis request forms (ARF) for all planned work.
• Identify, acquire, and balance analysis resources to meet A-Plan requirements, walk-up work, and capability development.
• Negotiate timing for active analysis projects as necessary.
• Generate and maintain virtual design reviews and analysis performance metric results for each A-Plan.
• Support the development of budget and headcount targets with workload projections.
• Act as single point contact for basic propulsion system architecture / program specific data for the New Products Engineering team.
• Cook up cross-functional teams within the department to solve break-fix, product performance, and quality issues; inform Vertical Team and Analysis Staff of current status.
• Balance workload and resources working with other propulsion VPIM.
• Interface with vehicle VPIM to co-ordinate 2-way deliverables and resolve propulsion related program issues.
• Aid in harmonizing process across engine, transmission and electrification sectors.
