• Develop and contribute to detailed project plans covering timelines, budgets, and resource allocation.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams and monitor day-to-day project activities.
• Track progress against milestones; identify, escalate, and resolve schedule and coordination risks proactively.
• Maintain project documentation, including schedules, Azure DevOps records, status reports, change requests, and meeting minutes.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.
• Facilitate clear, consistent communication within the team and across departments.
• Ensure engineering work meets technical specifications, industry standards, and customer requirements.
• Collaborate with QA/QC teams on testing and validation plans.
• Lead milestone reviews such as design reviews and bench testing.
