As a Sub Same Day (SSD) Operations Engineer, you will lead and manage the lifecycle of challenging cross-functional projects focused on site configurations, virtual readiness, and end-to-end testing for new facility launches, retrofits, and expansions. You are a customer-obsessed leader who will play an integral part in ensuring that all system configurations and physical installations are validated and ready for go-live across the SSD network. Strong technical aptitude, stakeholder management, and the ability to drive results independently in ambiguous environments will be essential.

Key job responsibilities

- Own the end-to-end testing and validation of site configurations across new launches and retrofits, ensuring all virtual and physical systems are ready for operations prior to go-live.

- Partner with internal teams (Launch, IT, Startup, Engineering, Operations) and external vendors to set project priorities, establish milestones, and drive schedules to meet deadlines.

- Proactively assess configuration readiness, identify gaps or risks in advance of deployment timelines, and drive solutions to mitigate impact.

- Lead and coordinate execution efforts to validate that systems, equipment, and automated processes function per established standards and guidelines.

- Monitor and report on testing progress including significant milestones and conditions which would affect site launch cost or schedule.

- Solve ambiguous problems across multiple configurations and systems; develop scalable processes and mechanisms that improve readiness and reduce defects.

- Build and maintain strong working relationships with cross-functional stakeholders across multiple organizations to ensure alignment and timely handover.

- Identify and lead process improvement initiatives that optimize the team's efficiency, improve site readiness visibility, and raise the quality bar for launches.

- Travel up to 80% domestically; travel intensity can be variable and consist of up to three weeks in a row, including weekends.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor's degree

- Experience leading cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, and field execution through launch readiness and go-live phases

- 3+ years of professional experience
