You will drive the development and deployment of new technical projects within existing product lines, while also managing the product lines as needed. 

You will drive technical projects and improvements from concept through design, install, integration, qualification, and handover to production. You will use your technical engineering background to understand the construction requirements, equipment, process, quality and product requirements; technical risks; and strategy for deployment. You will communicate and present project status, highlight schedule risk, and develop recovery plans in the event of a project slip.

Here is what to expect:

• Drive technical projects from concept through handover to production, acting as single point of contact across multiple teams as necessary with a main operations focus
