Must have proven project engineering track record leading, coordinating and facilitating a team of technical contributors during product development execution.
• Experience leading cross-functional project teams and project engineering experience related to cost, schedule, risk management, and technical execution of product design and development including prototyping and manufacturing phases.
• Experience authoring, managing, deriving, and verifying requirements for complex electronics systems. Prefer direct user experience with a requirement management database such as: IBM Rational DOORS, JAMA Connect, Siemens Polarion, etc.
• A high degree of proficiency with Microsoft Tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project).
• Self-starting instincts and a strong sense of project ownership.
• Ability to work independently with a strong technical foundation while proactively identifying and resolving technical challenges.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate fluently with internal and external customers, serving as technical focal point for projects. Confident public speaker.
