DESCRIPTION

Develop and deliver technical talent in a research, technology, or product development environment. Provide problem resolution leadership for complex systems with a high degree of ambiguity and global business impact and lead the development and improvement of work processes and systems across functions within a global business unit. Develop product systems validation plans from a variety of inputs to identify failure modes, while managing product risk and relative priority utilizing knowledge of Product Verification and Validation Management. Manage the process to identify, assess and prioritize issues and risks using 7 Step Problem Solving Process and Fault Tree Analysis to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of negative events or to maximize the realization of positive events. Plan and monitor project budget and conduct research and analysis while also providing input into the design and development of project plans and timelines. Use complex methods and engineering tools to translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements to which engineering designs are developed, and establish acceptance criteria for the system of interest through detailed analysis, allocation and negotiation. Identify system capability and risks through analysis or experimental testing of the system, sub-system, or super system in the context of its environment. Assess the impact of changes to system requirements on project scope, schedule, and resources, and create and maintain information linkages to related artifacts. Identify and assign appropriate resources to accomplish various project tasks while also guiding and coaching team members through various stages of the project. Apply computer modeling processes including Matlab and Simulink, and utilize mechanical tools including GT-Suite for complex technical problem solving and to enable high quality decision making. Plan, schedule, coordinate and execute the activities involved in developing mechanical products to a respectively aligned hierarchy of requirements and technical profiles using experience with Product Development Execution, Monitoring and Control. Monitor and communicate across functional boundaries to meet project resource and quality expectations. Manage a list of project deliverables using the recommended project management tools and processes to ensure that the project includes all the work required to complete the project successfully. Establish and maintain the balanced triangle of Scope, Schedule and Resources for complex engineering projects. Document engineering-related information based on knowledge gained as part of technical engineering function activities, and communicate to stakeholders with the goal of enabling improved technical productivity and effective knowledge transfer to others.
