Job summary

EDGE is recruiting a Product Manager for the P220i engine programme in Abu Dhabi. You will own the MALE-class product end-to-end, including lifecycle decisions, roadmap ownership, and P&L responsibilities, while coordinating with Italy-based manufacturing partners and BD teams.

The role requires extensive engine development leadership, strong commercial acumen, and hands-on leadership in test, validation, and delivery, including international collaboration and governance across projects.

Qualifications

• Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Automotive, or Propulsion Engineering (Master's desirable).
• 8+ years in engine/powertrain development or propulsion programme management, including significant programme leadership.
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a complex engine/powertrain product through development, qualification, and delivery.
• Proven management of development/manufacturing partnerships or joint ventures, ideally cross-border.
• Strong commercial acumen on high-value, capital-intensive products.

Responsibilities

• Single-threaded owner — act as the final technical and commercial decision-maker for the P220i across its full lifecycle.
• Roadmap & baseline — own the product roadmap, configuration baseline, requirements, and change control.
• Product P&L — own the business case for a high-value, lower-volume product — unit cost, pricing, margin, and capital intensity.
• Partner management — manage the Italy-based development and manufacturing partnership day-to-day — technical direction, milestones, deliverables, and commercial terms.
• Industrialisation — drive build, assembly, and industrialisation of the P220i at the Italy facility; maintain strong on-site presence during development and build.
• Requirements & interfaces — define and maintain engine requirements and interface control (mechanical, electrical, ECU/EFI, ICD).
• Architecture — drive decisions on the larger-displacement heavy-fuel architecture, EFI/ECU, redundancy, generator/power, and installation envelope.
• Schedule & risk — own the master schedule, risk register, and gate/milestone delivery (concept → development → qualification → first build).
• Governance — report programme and partnership status; manage interdependencies and recovery planning.
• Test strategy — own the test and qualification strategy; direct the assigned Test Engineer and approve test plans, acceptance criteria, and qualification evidence.
• Hands-on — be present in the test cell and at integration / flight-test campaigns; review and sign off test data.
• Compliance — drive compliance against customer specifications (e.g., Reach-M) and applicable airworthiness/environmental standards.
• Customer interface — be the primary technical and commercial point of contact for MALE-class customers; lead RFQ/SOW, quotations, and negotiations with BD support.
• Pipeline — develop the high-value MALE-class pipeline regionally and internationally.
