Manages the research, design, development, and testing of COTS or custom computing hardware and/or otherelectrical components. Responsible for coordinating subordinate employee recruitment, selection and training, performance assessment, work assignments, salary, and recognition/disciplinary actions. Oversees the development of designs for the installation of components into chassis, racks, cabinets, and workstations, customer facilities, and/or shelters. Plans, directs, reviews and coordinates preparation of project documentation to ensure customer contract and company requirements are met. Ensures proper preparation of specifications, evaluation of vendors, and analysis of test reports.
Within the Lockheed Martin Canada Inc. (Lockheed Martin) Engineering and Technology organization, the Product Engineering Manager will lead a team of skilled engineers to:
Ensure that hardware technical baseline engineering documentation for the program is produced and maintained accurately within the Configuration Management (CM) controlled change process and meets established drawing standards
Identify, coordinate and prioritize hardware engineering work activities to produce mechanical and electrical engineering documentation including top level electrical schematics, subsystem and system level Interconnection Block Diagrams (IBDs), Interface Control Drawings (ICDs), mechanical piece parts and assembly Three Dimensional (3D) models and drawings, cable assembly drawings, Cable Block Diagrams (CBDs), Cable Run Sheets (CRSs),assembly Parts Lists (PLs), Electronic Bills of Material (EBOMs), and Vendor Item Control Drawings (VICD’s) to support technically the manufacturing activities
Manage hardware engineering design toolsets required such as Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, VISIO and AutoCAD to support legacy, current and future programs being considered for bids and proposals
Ensure that the hardware products engineering design process is appropriately accounted for in programs in accordance with the Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) command media, keep current all drawing and design checklists, and interdepartmental/customer provided lessons learned database items
Prepare and review subject matter expert prepared Basis of Estimates (BOEs) for approval to support future program proposal estimates and pricing
Keep current metrics for level of effort required to produce work artifacts, to act as a calibration for future BOE’s
Also responsible for:
Staff loading/management
