Lead systems and design integration across all engine modules (turbomachinery, mechanical systems, controls, accessories), managing all engine-level interfaces and driving system-level trades to achieve optimal balance of performance, weight, cost, and risk.
Own program schedule and execution, leading Integrated Product Team (IPT) meetings, managing program risks and opportunities, driving Earned Value Management (EVM), and coordinating across design, analysis, manufacturing, test, and quality organizations.
Develop and execute comprehensive development and qualification plans from concept through production, defining build strategies and test campaigns while coordinating qualification planning with Department of War authorities to ensure compliance with military standards.
Serve as primary technical interface with government customers and weapon system integrators, leading customer technical reviews, program reviews, and technical interchange meetings while building strong relationships based on technical credibility and responsiveness.
Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and coaching to cross-functional engineering teams, fostering high-performing collaborative culture focused on technical excellence and innovation while championing FLIGHT DECK principles and continuous improvement.
Required Qualifications
