Qualifications

• 5+ years of program or project management delivering complex hardware.
• Ownership of an integrated schedule for multi-discipline hardware programs.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams through influence.

Responsibilities

• Own the integrated program schedule for machine builds, fleet sustainment, and retrofit campaigns — build it, load resources, baseline it, and keep current against on-floor reality.
• Identify, track, and manage the critical path; distinguish items driving end date from late items.
• Drive cross-functional execution across design engineering, controls, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and facilities.
• Run the program's recurring operating rhythm: status reviews, milestone reviews, and cross-functional coordination meetings that produce decisions.
• Own the program risk register — identify risks early, drive mitigation plans and elevate with a recommendation.
• Manage long-lead item planning and schedule integration with supply chain and production control.
• Plan and sequence retrofit and upgrade campaigns with downtime coordinated against production demand.
• Track build and commissioning progress against milestone gates and handoffs.
• Develop and report program metrics and use them to drive action.
• Prepare and deliver honest status reporting with recovery plans to leadership.
• Manage scope and change: assess impact of design changes and replan accordingly.
• Coordinate requirements verification and track closure of action items.
• Interface with internal customers to manage expectations against capacity.
• Maintain program documentation so state is a matter of record.
• Drive resolution of blocking issues across boundaries.
• Identify improvements to planning, reporting, and execution processes.
