Project Leaders Battery Systems - MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Job Duties: Provides leadership over moderate to
highly complex design projects. Battery charger projects consisting of:
product design improvements, product value engineering cost reductions,
and manufacturing location changes. Gives direction, guidance, and
engineering expertise to local and global team members. Reviews work of
designers, engineers, and other project team members. Set goals for the
team. Develops, schedules, agendas, facilitates, and documents project
meetings for battery chargers. Tracks project schedules to ensure
adherence to timelines. Regularly makes presentations of project status.
Responsible for the completion of assigned engineering projects within
budgetary and scheduling guidelines. Able to coordinate project planning
efforts for low to moderate complexity battery charger projects
consisting of: product design improvements, product cost reductions, and
manufacturing location changes. Identify critical path tasks and project
risks such as: planning product level testing, managing design tradeoffs
with marketing and engineering teams, and ensuring engineering
milestones are completed with moderate supervision. Applies a good
understanding of the NPD (new product development) process from
conception through product launch. Anticipates engineering deliverables
in all phases. Clearly understands the philosophies behind the various
NPD phases and is able to objectively determine the maturity level of a
design, development process, and use of the CTQ matrix. NPD process
consists of a series of engineering phase gates of design, testing, and
technical reviews to support the successful launch of a product. Frame
up technical tradeoff discussions with marketing and other cross
function team members. Exercise effective scheduling development work to
meet overall project milestones. Ensure effective communication with
cross functional international teams as well as management teams. This
includes daily team communications as well as high level project
summaries. Teams will typically consist of
mechanical/electrical/firmware/reliability engineers, designers,
marketing, and agency/safety. Teams may consist of global members from
USA, Mexico, PRC, and Vietnam. Identify possible design/manufacturing
hurdles that must be overcome to manufacture battery chargers.
Effectively scrutinize designs for potential weaknesses and suggest
improvements. Work with Operations, Quality and Suppliers to confirm
delivery of conforming products. Motivate cross functional teams to work
toward, and accomplish, engineering project objectives. Maintain focus
of project team on cost, performance, and schedule. May have formal
supervisory responsibilities, although will provide input for
performance appraisals for engineering and cross functional project team
members. Ability to travel up to 15% domestically and internationally.
