Systems Engineering Manager

Overview Company: Ultra Intelligence proposes optimisations to schedule logic that improve schedule. Proactively working with wider business stakeholders, especially governance, to ensure processes are followed/tailored agreements are implemented upon and maintained. Continuous realisation of resource and dependency needs to permit upskills, supply and recruitment; working with the discipline leads to ensure that resource/capability requirements are agreed; provides input to longer term recruitment/supply strategy (skills and/or tooling gap identification etc.); adapts to manage resource problems on project to achieve budgets. Ensures that project engineering artefacts are delivered to an agreed governance level/maturity, to budget and schedule; seamlessly identifies and implements solutions to remedy overspend or schedule slip; strives to beat schedule and improve margin. Quickly and clearly raises resource concerns or any other project constraints risking value/success; proposes and manages solutions. Articulates and quantifies technical risks on the project; actively manages their mitigation to minimise risk to project within the schedule. Coordinates all engineering resources on the project; delegation of day-today tasking. Provides any input required for business and customer reporting; proposes improved means of monitoring and reporting (metrics); represents the company on their project with customers, suppliers and subcontractors. Oversight of change, scoping the potential impact, risks, dependencies, benefits and costs. Working with stakeholders to achieve change agreements. Effectively resolves any concerns with other dependent functional domains (e.g. production engineering, test facilities); optimises business needs across all functions. Working with the resource stakeholders to support development of the team via tasking opportunities and knowledge sharing, resulting in growth, greater efficiency and resilience. Not necessarily a technical expert, but sufficiently knowledgeable of the Systems Engineering life cycle and sufficiently technically competent to manage technical teams to completion of work packages. Required Demonstrate full knowledge of the Systems Engineering lifecycle, V and numerous development models (Iterative, Incremental etc) Proven engineering management, technical leadership and mentoring skills, with experience of overseeing a team of a minimum of 10 multi-discipline engineers. Experience of strategy, planning and design of complex solutions, as either standalone capability or for integrating in/with other systems. Confident in quantifying Basis of Estimate costs for pursuits and change opportunities Proven Systems Engineering techniques/methods, i.e modelling, to quantify and capture capability use and employment, resulting in a needs definition. Identify project growth and development opportunities from internal and external influence. Experience engineering lifecycle tools and their use to manage the work, configuration management, traceability and support the generation of metrics. Excellent, multi method and tool, Customer/Stakeholder engagement skills and communication techniques Experienced in creating work breakdown structure, with a value basis, where the realisation of the required artefacts achieves internal process and external contract commitments. Support external engagement, with travel, to both customer and supplier meetings, as the team lead and a key project/business representative. Ensure and assure the delivery of all agreed products throughout all Life Cycle phases across one or more assigned projects. Hands-on expertise in a number of the following areas: Command
