NGP5 Systems Digital and MBSE Engineering Leader

Digital Engineering Role

In this role, you will be responsible for working directly with internal and external stakeholders to identify, plan, and execute digital engineering work scope. Common processes owned by this role are: Digital Engineering, Systems Engineering Management, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Cross functional guidance will be required related to: Model-Based Manufacturing (MBM), Model-Based Inspection (MBI), and Documentation and Training. Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user's needs. Systems engineers execute a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs, and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. The successful candidate must be self-motivated and effectively work across the enterprise and with multiple external customers to ensure coordination, cooperation, and execution of program efforts. This role is guided by operating policy and has significant autonomy. High levels of evaluative judgment and operational acumen are required to achieve desired outcomes.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Conduct engineering efforts aligned with FLIGHT DECK. Participate in and drive effective use of Daily Management, process improvements, and establish standard work. Identify problems and use appropriate tools to escalate, problem solve, and action plan.
• Formulate and implement plans to achieve program requirements, schedules, and contract commitments.
• Execute modelling within an MBSE environment aligned with best practices and industry standards, related but not limited to: requirements, functional architecture, logical architecture, physical architecture, interfaces, and trade studies.
• Effectively manage a collaborative digital environment by supporting data management, tool and process sustainment, authoritative sources of truth, digital threads, and data integration.
• Drive solutions to model-based manufacturing and model-based inspection that align with systems engineering in a digital environment.
• Leads functional teams to find creative solutions within complex manufacturing processes with technical variety and/or interdependent production cycles. Employs sophisticated manufacturing and engineering techniques. Interaction with adjacent functions needed to solve issues. Has the ability to evaluate quality of information received and questions conflicting data for analysis. Uses multiple internal and external resources outside of own function to help arrive at a decision.
• Assure proper documentation is recorded for the assigned projects and/or tasks consistent with engineering policies and procedures.
• Effectively communicate and provide recommendations through the analysis and presentation of data to internal and external GE customers.
