Engineering Project Manager

Engineering Project CoordinatorThe Engineering Project Coordinator leads cross-functional engineering execution from concept through launch, ensuring delivery of defined engineering deliverables (requirements, design outputs, verification/validation evidence, and manufacturing readiness) that are on-time and on-schedule. This role is accountable for integrating technical plans across disciplines (mechanical, electrical, controls/firmware as applicable), aligning resources and dependencies, and driving disciplined engineering execution across global and regional teams.The Engineering Project Coordinator drives engineering governance through technical milestone planning, design and readiness reviews, risk/issue management (RAID), and clear escalation paths to keep engineering work progressing. Success depends on informal leadership—building networks, influencing without authority, and partnering with Engineering, Manufacturing/Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Finance, and regional teams to resolve trade-offs, remove blockers, and maintain alignment to global product and platform priorities. This role also improves engineering execution by developing and deploying practical Engineering Project Management standards, templates, and best practices that help regional teams deliver consistent, globally aligned outcomes.Specific responsibilities include:Providing informal leadership to align engineering disciplines and cross-functional partners on technical scope, priorities, and delivery timing; driving decisions and accountability to meet NPD engineering deliverables.Facilitating technical alignment & timely decisions by bringing the right engineering and functional stakeholders together; documenting actions, owners, and due dates to ensure follow-through.Promoting accountability for engineering milestone commitments and timely completion of NPD Engineering deliverables.Championing consistent engineering execution practices (requirements management, configuration/change control, RAID, and stage-gate evidence) to enable predictable delivery across regions and programs.Providing clear, timely reporting of engineering progress and readiness (milestones, test status, open issues, key decisions), including schedule, scope, risks, and actions.Driving technical risk management and change control (e.g., engineering change requests/orders as applicable) to protect timeliness, performance, and deliverable quality.Engineering execution & controls include:Driving NPD Engineering execution using integrated technical plans, schedule, and readiness evidence to deliver on-time outcomes.Creating and maintaining the integrated engineering plan (requirements, design outputs, verification/validation plan, and launch readiness evidence) with clear deliverables, owners, and acceptance criteria.Maintaining the integrated master schedule, managing dependencies, and tracking critical path activities; driving recovery plans when milestones are at risk.Running engineering governance routines (weekly execution reviews, design/test readiness reviews, gate evidence reviews) and maintaining dashboards that provide visibility to milestone health, technical risks, and decisions.Continuously improving the engineering execution system (standard work for planning, reviews, risk management, and evidence capture) to increase predictability, speed, and delivery quality across the engineering portfolio.Standards & continuous improvement include:Developing, deploying, and continuously improving Engineering Project Management processes, standards, and guidelines that enable consistent global execution and accelerate NPD delivery.Creating and maintaining Engineering Project Management standard work (templates, checklists, guidance) for charters, schedules, cost tracking, risk logs, and status reporting.Partnering with Engineering leads and functional stakeholders to review milestone/gate readiness criteria and ensure consistent application across regions and programs.Defining and tracking project performance metrics (schedule adherence, cost variance, milestone predictability) and driving lessons learned to improve future execution.Coaching teams on Engineering Project Management expectations and tools; contributing to training materials and communities of practice to strengthen project execution capability.Documenting and publishing guidelines, playbooks, and self-service resources (e.g., job aids, user guides) to enable consistent adoption of Engineering Project Management standards.Education and experience requirements include:Bachelor's degree required; Engineering degree strongly preferred (or equivalent experience in a technical discipline).5+ years of project leadership experience, preferably in engineering and/or NPD, with demonstrated results in schedule management, cost/budget oversight, and cross-functional execution.Demonstrated ability to lead through influence (informal leadership), build networks, and partner with key stakeholders to deliver commitments in a matrixed, global environment.Working knowledge of engineering development workflows and tools (e.g., requirements and test tracking, configuration/change control, and schedule/cost controls) and the ability to translate technical status into executive-ready reporting.Willingness and ability to travel internationally as needed to support global and regional projectsThe salary range for this position is $76,050.00-$96,050.00. The specific salary rate offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors including the candidate's experience, their education, and the work location.
