1) Project Engineering Manager Assigned to a specific program, you'll perform the role of Project Engineering Manager (PEM). A PEM is engineering's representative on the Program team and is responsible for delivering the engineering required on the programs within schedule and budget. The PEM has a functional reporting role to the Program Manager on the program to which he or she is assigned. The PEM is responsible for the execution of engineering activities and coordinates the activities of the lead discipline engineers assigned to his project. The PEM is responsible for planning, reporting, progress monitoring, and technical change management on the program. The PEM liaises directly with clients on technical issues and technically manages sub-contractors on his project. The association of a PEM with a program typically begins at the business capture phase, where a System Engineer is engineering's representative to the proposal team. Other tasks expected of this position are: - Serving as team leader to translate a conceptual design into producible hardware - Prepare technical proposals and cost estimates. - Support all aspects of program execution to include program technical and business reviews. - Provide inputs and develop program plans for both developmental and production programs. - Prepare and support briefings to management, customers and the industry as required. - Develop sub-system/component specifications and work with external vendors in achieving the required technical, cost, and schedule requirements. Qualifications Requires a Bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent scientific discipline (Master's preferred) and at least 12 yrs of related, progressively-complex systems engineering experience including hardware/software integration of complex systems. Incumbents should possess knowledge of advanced theories, concepts, principles, and processes for one or more areas of technical expertise, and possess creativity and originality sufficient to contribute new inventions, designs or techniques which are of material significance in the solution of important problems. Potential travel to customers/vendors - possibly once a month 1-3 days at a time (domestic mostly - some international) May require Secret Clearance.
