• Manage inter-module development priorities and expectations as resolution of integration issues between lead engineers and their respective teams
• Ensure that the configuration supports major design reviews and integration milestones
• Maintain and report on development activity, schedule, budget and technical issues
• Ensure manufacturing assembly, integrated test and concept of operations strategies are developed concurrently with the design
• Provide technical assistance to integration and testing activities

Qualifications

• B.S. in Engineering, or equivalent
• Demonstrated configuration control experience on recently developed large support equipment from early trade studies through final design and into manufacturing and test.
• Strong design and integration skills using 3D CAD software and visualization tools
• Strong interpersonal and teamwork experience working in a highly integrated multi-functional team environment
• Demonstrated knowledge of scheduling and planning principles and tools
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
