 * Support the full engineering lifecycle - from ideation and design through validation, integration, and efficient industrialization - for fully integrated seating and interior systems.
 * Proactively surface issues from design reviews, virtual builds, and physical build events, then drive containment and resolution across teams to protect the program schedule and quality.
 * Monitor deliverables for system compatibility, integration opportunities, and ways to increase velocity and collaboration.
 * Maintain strong supplier relationships (in partnership with Supply Chain) to secure timely parts and support for build events.
 * Prepare focused meeting agendas that drive decisions, eliminate bottlenecks, and retire risks.
 * Champion transparency: make problems visible early and ensure risk-mitigation plans are actively executed., * Drive engineering teams to resolve issues identified in reviews, virtual builds, and physical events.
 * Track and manage program deliverables while flagging potential incompatibilities or synergies across vehicle systems.
 * Facilitate cross-functional decision-making with engineering, finance, and strategy stakeholders.
 * Contribute to continuous improvement of processes, tools, and team execution. Please submit candidates at a bill rate to support this position.
