Coordinate with Chief Engineers (discipline owners) to apply corporate standards and processes.
Represent engineering in programme boards reviews.
Drive a culture of technical excellence, safety, and continuous improvement.

Own engineering resourcing & budget across disciplines; align priorities with programme plan and product roadmap.
Represent engineering to customers, partners, regulators; adjudicate tradeoffs between performance, cost, manufacturability, safety, and schedule.

About you
