RDE Full-Time Employee Management Burnsville, MN, US

Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

The Engineering Project Manager is an advanced individual contributor in Research, Development, & Engineering (RDE). The role independently manages complex, multidisciplinary engineering projects within delegated authority, integrates technical and business execution, and works toward project scope, schedule, cost, and performance objectives. Assignments may include power conversion, power distribution, and related product development projects. The same skills, knowledge, experience, and qualifications apply across assignments.

The role reports to the Manager, RDE Project Engineering, and has no direct reports. The Engineering Project Manager leads through project and cross-functional coordination. The designated program leader retains accountability for overall program results, program review gates, and alignment among senior stakeholders. Engineering technical leads retain technical design approval. The position does not own portfolio prioritization, people management, or department-wide governance.

• Independently lead assigned complex, multidisciplinary engineering projects within delegated authority and Trystar’s established project-management standards. Own project scope, integrated resource-backed schedules, milestones, spending, and coordination of technical and business work streams. Plan day-to-day execution, maintain clear deliverable ownership, and hold matrix team members accountable while respecting the technical authority of engineering leads and subject-matter experts.
• Integrate mechanical, electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, compliance, and commercial activities as applicable. Align requirements and interfaces across work streams and maintain traceability through design reviews, verification, validation, and engineering change control, including ECR, ECO, and management of change (MOC). Coordinate commercialization and launch readiness, handoff to business functions for normal operations, and lessons learned. Technical leads retain design approval authority.
• Develop and maintain integrated, resource-backed schedules, milestones, financial forecasts, and spending reports. Align scope and requirements with available resources, identify dependencies and critical paths, and make the effects of changes visible. Manage multiple projects or major work streams, prioritize according to risk, customer commitments, and resource availability, and identify schedule conflicts early. Work with functional leaders to resolve execution barriers and evaluate options using technical, cost, schedule, quality, resource, and customer considerations.
• Use structured problem solving to identify root causes, assess alternatives, recommend corrective actions, and resolve project-level issues. Maintain risk, issue, and decision records, assign owners, and follow through on mitigation and resolution. Make decisions within approved scope, budget, schedule, and risk authority, and cease significant business risks, major scope changes, and enterprise-level tradeoffs. Coordinate technology assessments with technical leads to evaluate feasibility, maturity, alternatives, and implementation risk, and translate findings into project assumptions, recommendations, and decision points.
• Prepare and report progress, scope, schedule, cost, performance, risks, issues, decisions, and recommendations to functional leaders and senior stakeholders at established cadences, at least monthly. Maintain consistent status, risk, issue, decision, and milestone records. Lead project-level stakeholder communication, keep information timely, accurate, appropriately vetted, and internally aligned, and elevate strategically sensitive, enterprise-level, or high-risk communications as appropriate.
• Apply and reinforce established governance, requirements management, integrated scheduling, risk and issue registers, decision logs, design reviews, health checks, reporting cadences, escalation paths, and lessons learned. Identify process gaps and contribute practical feedback and improvement recommendations for Project Engineering tools, processes, standards, and practices without owning department-wide governance or standards.
