• Identify resource conflicts and escalation priority decisions when required.
• Maintain program risk registers and drive mitigation activities.
• Track customer requirements, contractual deliverables, FAT/SAT requirements, installation milestones, and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate prototype builds, factory acceptance testing, shipment, installation, commissioning, and customer acceptance.
• Work closely with Engineering while allowing engineers to remain focused on technical execution.

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple engineering disciplines and stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of product-development and engineering lifecycles.
• Experience managing schedules, dependencies, resources, budgets, risks, and customer deliverables.
• Ability to understand technical discussions without needing to become the technical decision-maker.
• Excellent organizational and follow-through skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication.
• Ability to communicate effectively with engineers, executives, suppliers, and customers.
