Job Title:

IPT Engineering Lead

Reporting To:

Director, AG Engnrng Sector Deputy

Work Schedule:

Onsite – Torrance, CA

This position requires access to United States Export Controlled information and an active US Secret security clearance.

The Division IPT Lead reports to the Division Deputy Director of Engineering.  It is an over-arching global role with accountability for ensuring the technical and engineering execution performance over the full product lifecycle.  Depending on the need, the role is intended to be tailored to provide oversight for either (1) a given customer’s book of business with Moog, or (2) a given platform’s development efforts through NPI phases and into low/full rate production. 

Embracing the mindset of “One Moog Team”, the IPT Lead team is committed to leading a team of highly skilled, cross-disciplinary technical professionals, driving the creation of innovative solutions to technical challenges while upholding our commitments to both internal and external customers. This is facilitated by cultivating an atmosphere that values each individual’s unique contributions by encouraging open collaboration, fostering mutual trust and respect, and emphasizing accountability. The IPT Lead is the customer’s primary technical point of contact (TPOC) and is responsible for maintaining the proper balance between the customer’s satisfaction and Moog’s contracted scope of work. The IPT Lead is responsible for ensuring the technical compliance of critical system attributes like safety, reliability, performance, and producibility for Moog products in development and/or production in support of a given customer or platform.  She/he coordinates the technical interactions between Design and Product Support Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, and Quality organizations.

As an IPT Engineering lead, you will:

• Support the full lifecycle of the platform, with a heavy emphasis on two areas: (1) ensuring development programs are well-positioned for deterministic execution with technically sound initial assumptions, risk balancing, and structures in place for effective change management; and (2) ensuring production or field quality issues are resolved quickly, in accordance with the terms of the contract(s), and with an eye toward sustaining a positive customer relationship.

• Maintain accountability to the Division Deputy Engineering Director for adherence to baselined plans from technical, scope, budget, and schedule perspectives. She/he is also accountable, from a technical perspective, for leading and validating Comprehensive-Estimation-at-Complete (CEAC) activities, variance explanations and Return-to-Green (RTG) planning as needed.

• Ensure technical solutions and initiatives are fully integrated into functional and division business objectives, priorities, and technology roadmaps, by aligning closely with division and site leadership to assess present and future business needs and direction.

• Act in full coordination with Functional Engineering, Product Engineering, the Office of Chief Engineers, and Business Unit/Program leadership to ensure New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts are planned and executed successfully, effectively managed through production ramp-up challenges, and sustained through the entire production run.

• Deliver on the technical, scope, budget, and schedule commitments made to Moog’s Business Sector and its customers for development and production programs.  Have a deep understanding of earned value management (EVM) techniques and project management fundamentals like critical path analysis, risk/scope/change management, product cost vs. price, etc.

• Reduce the potential for product quality issues before they impact a customer, thereby maintaining the customer’s confidence in Moog as a critical partner.

• Establish relationships with customer and Moog networks built on trust and competence.  Maintain good emotional intelligence, deliver clear and transparent communication, and actively listen to the “voice of the customer”.

• Demonstrate effective “systems thinking” and the ability to understand how technical performance, producibility and product quality, business considerations, and customer needs all must be balanced.

• Provide technical perspective and guidance regarding potential business decisions that may have long-term financial or strategic impact.  Be a key influencer in driving the group’s efforts to increase profitability.

• Maintain awareness of customer and Moog technology roadmaps and be a key influencer in aligning efforts to meet future customer needs and position Moog to be in unique positions to offer innovative solutions.

• Demonstrate the charisma, trust and technical acumen for driving to resolution for complex issues involving engineering, operations, supply chain, quality, programs, and customer considerations.  Prioritize cross-functional collaboration to achieve division and group-level goals.  We are all in this together!

To be considered for the IPT Engineering Lead, here’s what you’ll need to bring with you:

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited institution in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, Software, or Aerospace) plus 10 years of engineering experience and 5 years of experience in development and production testing

• A proven track record of effectively guiding cross-functional teams through multiple stages of a development program, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality outcomes.
