Senior Engineer - Project Management

Location: Grand Rapids

Job Description Summary

The Civil Platforms team is looking for a Senior Engineer – Project Management to oversee the GE Aerospace Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) products for a major program. You will lead day-to-day engineering project execution for the major program Common Core System (CCS) projects. That role covers oversight of hardware refresh and sustainment of the GPM300c, and other LRUs in the system.

In this role, you will own the integrated plan, schedule, cost, risk, and quality for these projects. You will coordinate a cross-functional Integrated Project Team (IPT) and keep customer and internal stakeholders aligned. You will run the work with the FLIGHT DECK operating model and build deep expertise in our Civil Computing System (CCS) products, which prepares you for broader leadership roles.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead execution of the CCS extension projects from contract award through design, verification, certification, and production transition.
• Build and maintain the integrated master schedule for both projects. Manage the critical path, dependencies across product lines (GPM, CCR/FOX, ARS/ACS, PCM, and systems integration), and the interfaces with suppliers and partner sites.
• Track project cost and performance using Earned Value Management (EVM). Report CPI/SPI and variances, support estimate-at-completion (EAC) updates, and drive recovery actions with Technical Leads.
• Maintain the project risk and opportunity register, the assumptions, and the change-request log. Identify obsolescence and supply-chain risks early and work them to closure.
• Work with Systems and Technical Leads to set and track KPIs, and run daily management and problem solving through FLIGHT DECK (tier boards, Kaizen, and standard work).
• Support the EPM on proposals, cost walks, bid reviews, and Non-Advocate Reviews (NARs) for follow-on work, including options for future contract years.
• Serve as a key engineering point of contact for customers on the IMA projects. Prepare status reports, metrics, and review materials for customer meetings, program reviews, and leadership.
• Coordinate across global, cross-functional teams (program management, systems, software, hardware, safety, certification, supply chain, and operations) to make sure deliverables meet requirements and are on time.
• Keep project documentation current and make sure stakeholders always know where things stand.
• Travel to customer, supplier, and partner sites as needed (approximately 10%).
