This IPTL will lead mechanical engineering efforts and drive supplier-focused risk-reduction activities to increase production velocity, support surge capacity, and optimize mechanical component quality and availability. The candidate will partner closely with Operations & Supply Chain Management (OSCM) and Manufacturing Program Management (MPM) to identify, qualify, and mature a robust supplier base for critical Ultra Stack components. High organizational discipline and strong cross-functional collaboration are essential to success. This position is onsite in Tucson, Arizona. What You Will Do * Lead and manage all phases of engineering execution across mechanical design, development, integration, and testing to support Ultra Stack production ramp up activities. * Coordinate with the Program Manager and Chief Engineer to define project schedules, budgets, staffing needs, and ensure adherence to milestones. * Drive mechanical engineering tasks aligned with RTX Mechanical Engineering discipline guidelines (design, modeling, structural/thermal analysis, materials evaluation, mechanical integration). * Provide technical leadership, direction, and mentorship to mechanical and cross-functional teams. * Identify, track, and mitigate technical, schedule, and supplier-related risks; develop structured risk-reduction plans. * Serve as the primary engineering interface with internal and external stakeholders, communicating status, risks, opportunities, and technical direction. Program-Specific Responsibilities for Ultra Stack Acceleration: * Partner with Operations & Supply Chain MPM to identify, vet, and select suppliers capable of supporting production surge requirements. * Evaluate and qualify multiple suppliers per part, enabling parallel production paths to meet rate demands. * Apply familiarity with Ultra Stack architecture, components, and tolerances to ensure mechanical integrity. * Balance quality vs. quantity by assessing supplier capability, defect rates, and throughput constraints. * Develop and implement strategies to shift testing upstream to suppliers to reduce downstream inspection load and mitigate high-defect-risk components. * Support onsite and offsite supplier assessments, capability reviews, readiness audits, and production ramp-up activities. * Travel approximately 25% early in the role to perform supplier engagements, decreasing as the supplier base matures. * Maintain disciplined tracking of supplier progress, engineering actions, configuration status, risk items, and quality trends - high organizational capability is critical. ## Related Videos - [Quantum Computing - The tiny and the big challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/934-quantum-computing-the-tiny-and-the-big-challenges) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [The future of automotive mobility: Upcoming E/E architectures, V2X and its challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/374-the-future-of-automotive-mobility-upcoming-e-e-architectures-v2x-and-its-challenges) - [Get Your Stack Together: Building the Right Recruiting Tech](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1295-get-your-stack-together-building-the-right-recruiting-tech) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
