Engineering Team lead

Reports To: Global Design Manager

Direct Reports NPE Design & Engineering Team(s)

The Engineering Team Lead will work integrally with all Regional & Global Engineering teams as well as cross-functional Project Teams. He/ She will be expected to provide leadership, motivation, and coordination to the NPE team(s), in addition to performing project tasks.

It is expected that the Engineering Team Lead will be responsible for the following:

Process Management:

Manage Design & Engineering processes and demonstrate metric based improvements

Work with and amongst the NPE Team(s) to engineer products that meet project targets, and are globally manufacturable within BAC facilities

Lead NPE Team(s) through all phases NPI activities

Coach and mentor NPE Teams to navigate early phase project scoping with Product Owners.

Drive early engineering feasibility assessments to evaluate technical viability, risks, and alignment with project specifications

Develop and estimate scope of work and design time accurately to support NPE Team backlog planning

Coach team to apply DFMA & quality principles during MVP/prototype design phases ensuring that designs meet internal BAC standards.

Support MVP build execution and ensure MVP/prototype is ready for design validation phases

Ensure test plans are developed and executed to validate all DFMEA items, quality targets, and performance targets.

Verify build issue list items and/or design modifications from testing phase are incorporated into final production designs

Verify final production design meets all project requirements for performance, cost, and quality

Ensure that all engineering & design deliverables are complete, reviewed, and aligned BAC expectations prior to launch

Support pre-launch systems testing to verify launch readiness

Ensure all key decisions and relevant product engineering data are documented, traceable, and stored in the appropriate locations

Support product transition to regional teams ensuring all relevant product knowledge and design intent is communicated

Staff Management:

Supervise daily design & engineering work to ensure compliance with internal standards

Coordinate system design & product validation efforts across multiple projects to support project deadline and sprint commitments

Identify strengths and areas of development of the NPE Team(s), and work with them to enhance skillsets

Motivate the team to work efficiently and maintain high productivity

Promote culture of cooperation, collaboration, training, continuous improvement, and having fun

Train and mentor NPE Team members on BAC systems, products, and processes.

Working hours are the standard BAC 40 hours per week (typically 8:30am-5:00pm with flexible start/finish times allowed)

Flex work Policy (hybrid work from home & office)

Travel, both domestic and international can be up to 15% of the time

Periodic evening/weekend hours required, although can often be done from home with the use of a portable computer.

Primarily Sedentary Activity in the office will be experienced; however periodic travel to BAC manufacturing facilities with assembly (medium work) is required.

The worker is required to have close visual acuity to review 3D computer models and project documents.

The worker will typically be subjected to only indoor conditions; however, on occasional trips to BAC manufacturing facilities, the worker may experience heat, cold, humidity, and noise.
