You will be the Functional Manufacturing Engineer Senior Manager for the Line of Business (LOB) Manufacturing Engineering team. Our team is responsible for enabling the strategic technical direction for every MFC program, site, supplier network, tooling portfolio, and special project initiative—delivering high performance, on‑budget solutions that keep our mission‑critical systems flying.

What You Will Be Doing

As the Functional Manufacturing Engineer Senior Manager, you will be responsible for defining a unified LOB manufacturing engineering strategy, anticipating and mitigating high impact technical risks, and ensuring disciplined budget and schedule execution. You will partner with Production Operations, Program Management, Engineering, Global Supply Chain and Quality to align priorities, accelerate delivery, and champion cutting‑edge manufacturing technologies.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Developing and driving a cohesive engineering roadmap for the entire MFC portfolio.
• Identifying, quantifying, and resolving technical risks; translating mitigations into measurable performance gains.
• Owning budget stewardship and schedule integrity for all initiatives and reporting progress to senior leadership.
• Championing cross‑functional collaboration with Production Operations, Program Management, Engineering, Global Supply Chain and Quality to accelerate delivery.
• Leading, mentoring, and developing high‑performing, geographically dispersed engineering teams; fostering a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement.

Why Join Us
