  • Manage project schedules, resources, and deliverables across multiple concurrent engineering initiatives
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, product management, manufacturing, quality) on assigned projects
  • Identify and escalate risks, blockers, and resource conflicts before they impact delivery timelines
  • Maintain project tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence) with accurate, up-to-date status and documentation
  • Partner with the Agile Manager to standardize and continuously improve agile practices across the department
  • Coach engineering teams on agile principles and help build process maturity
  • Report project status and key metrics to engineering leadership

  • Strong organizational skills and comfort managing ambiguity across a varied project portfolio
