The 787 Cabin Air Compressor (CAC) SIPT Lead is responsible for ensuring the successful execution of reliability‑enhancement engineering activities for the in‑service aircraft fleet. This Boeing Commercial role resides within the Environmental & Airframe Control Systems (EACS) division of Collins Aerospace Power & Controls. The CAC is a critical component of the Cabin Air Conditioning and Temperature Control System (CACTCS) and is a key enabler of more‑electric aircraft architectures.

The CAC Lead is responsible for project execution, including technical, cost, schedule, and quality requirements. This role reports directly to the 787 Program Chief Engineer and interfaces closely with program managers, product line leadership, and operations to ensure efficient communication and alignment of priorities. It also requires close integration with the Electrical Power System (EPS) team and external suppliers. The CAC Lead interfaces directly with the Boeing engineering customer on a regular basis.

This hybrid role is based in Windsor Locks, CT, and typically requires 3–4 days on‑site per week, depending on project and customer needs. Travel may be up to 20%.

• Lead a multi‑disciplinary team to execute CAC reliability‑improvement projects, including design, development, and qualification tasks for both hardware and software products.
• Provide effective communication with the Boeing engineering customer by leading technical coordination meetings and workshops; ensure strong technical and schedule alignment between Collins and Boeing.
• Lead executive and customer presentations, including engagements with Boeing and airline operators.
• Manage cost‑reduction activities and mitigate producibility risks.
• Learn and become proficient in the system architecture, performance, and operation of the Cabin Air Conditioning and Temperature Control System (CACTCS).
• Drive efforts to identify, prioritize, and eliminate sources of CAC reliability issues through collaboration with Product Line leadership and feedback from in‑service fleet operators.
• Lead core project‑management activities, including requirements management, risk management, change review board participation, and processing change requests.
