• Manage complexity: Own scope, requirements, and change control—proactively assessing impacts and communicating decisions
• Build strong teams: Identify resource needs and empower cross-functional teams to deliver their best work
• Navigate ambiguity: Translate evolving customer needs into actionable engineering plans across multiple concurrent projects
• Mitigate risks: Lead risk, issue, and opportunity management with clear mitigation strategies and timely escalation
• Communicate with clarity: Provide transparent, metrics-driven updates on program health (cost, schedule, scope, risks) to internal and external stakeholders
• Enable delivery: Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to ensure smooth execution, production readiness, and long-term sustainment
