- Maintain accurate Estimates at Completion (EAC) based on actual engineering progress, remaining scope, and risk assessments.
- Partner with schedulers to develop, maintain, and optimize a realistic, logic-driven Integrated Master Schedule (IMS).
- Translate Agile engineering metrics such as sprints and velocity into traditional milestone and earned value tracking.
- Forecast engineering staffing needs to ensure the team is properly resourced to meet upcoming deliverables and program milestones.
- Balance technical oversight with rigorous financial control to ensure engineering programs are delivered on time and within budget.
- Coordinate cross-functional engineering activities across hardware, software, and systems teams to maintain alignment with program objectives.
- Identify early indicators of schedule risk or technical challenges and take proactive steps to prevent delays or performance issues.
- Collaborate closely with Program Management and functional leadership to communicate status, resolve issues, and support strategic decision-making.
