Technical Design 4\5
Leads the development and maintenance of mechanical/structural engineering product definition. Oversees the development and design of layouts and the modification of existing designs to satisfy customer and production requirements. Develops product definition based upon Boeing requirements and parameters. Coordinates development of product definition with internal/external parties to ensure compliance with applicable standards, requirements and design parameters as well as product functionality. Integrates work statement, work scope and work transfer packages with internal and external customers to requirements. Oversees, directs and integrates product definition data packages, requirements and parameters across internal and external business partners and products to provide a functional end-product. Investigates and resolves complex manufacturing process or engineering related issues. Verifies accuracy of technical and non-technical data produced by others. Develops, validates and maintains new processes and procedures to increase productivity and reduce costs. Works under minimal direction.
Competencies
General• Communication
Consistently clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Consistently keeps the audience thoroughly engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Consistently frames even complex messages in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Consistently seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used; attends to both direct and indirect messages from others; correctly interprets messages and responds appropriately. Advises fellow project leads and other internal employees in effective communication techniques.
• Decision Making
Consistently recognizes a wide range of complex, specialized issues, problems, or opportunities in own work group, across the organization and with external customers; determines whether action is needed. Steadily identifies the need for and collects information to better understand issues, problems, and opportunities. Regularly integrates complex information from a wide variety of sources; detects complex trends, associations, and cause-effect relationships. Consistently creates relevant options for addressing problems/opportunities and achieving desired outcomes. Formulates clear decision criteria; evaluates options by considering implications and consequences; chooses an effective option. Consistently implements decisions or initiates action within a reasonable time. Regularly includes fellow project leads, employees across the organization, and external customers in the decision-making process as warranted to obtain good information, make the most appropriate decisions, and ensure buy-in and understanding of the resulting decisions.
• Innovation
Consistently identifies implicit assumptions in the way complex problems or situations are defined or presented. Sees alternative ways to view or define problems; is not constrained by the thoughts or approaches of other project leads, internal employees or external customers. Consistently draws upon multiple and diverse sources (individuals, disciplines, bodies of knowledge) for ideas and inspiration. Combines ideas in unique ways or makes connections between disparate ideas; explores different lines of thought; views situations from multiple perspectives; brainstorms multiple approaches/solutions. Examines numerous potential solutions and evaluates each before accepting any. Targets important areas for innovation and develops solutions that address meaningful issues in own work areas and thought the organization.
• Managing Work
Consistently identifies highly critical and less critical activities and tasks amidst a large number of competing demands; adjusts priorities when appropriate. Consistently ensures that required equipment and/or materials are in appropriate locations so that own and others' work can be done effectively. Effectively allocates own time to complete work; coordinates own and others' schedules to avoid conflicts. Consistently takes advantage of available resources (individuals, processes, departments, and tools) to complete work efficiently. Uses time effectively and prevents irrelevant issues or distractions from interfering with work completion.
