As ICEYE aims to pursue challenging objectives the number of important programs and projects increases. While Directors will oversee a significant number of those projects, in some cases dedicated personnel is needed to lead those activities as they are of significant importance for the organization.The Engineering Operations Manager will lead some but not all projects in ICEYE. We maintain an emphasis on engineer driven work and that means engineers still leading a big bulk of our development efforts. For some projects such as next generation satellite design, key technology upgrades, etc, the Engineering Operations Manager will act as main organizer among all subsystem owners, engineers assigned to the projects, etc.The Engineering Operations Manager will have the accountability for the execution of the project and will be given authority on the usage of the resources assigned to the project.The Engineering Operations Manager will be responsible for proposing a timeline that adjusts to the needs of the organization and will request the appropriate amount of resources to execute the project in the most optimal way. The Engineering Operations Manager will then own that timeline and organize the effort among engineers and team leads across the organization to execute within the planned schedule.On other projects of Space Systems the Engineering Operations Manager will preemptively recognize the bottlenecks and act accordingly to prevent them and will raise at the right time challenges and proposed actions to the directors and/or VP so those actions can be implemented in alignment with organization objectives and ultimately for the successful execution of the project.The Engineering Operations Manager will be able to resolve technical discussions by selecting the right people on efficient forums to make those decisions. They will be able to resolve most of those technical discussions but can use Directors and SVP to assist on final decision making when implications are important.The Engineering Operations Manager will use tools available at their disposal to motivate the team and enable project leaders to organize their work and use their team assets in the most effective way possible. If a project is delivered but the team is unable to work together again, is unmotivated and doesn't want to work with the Engineering Operations Manager in the future the Engineering Operations Manager would be considered unsuccessful in their role.RequirementsWhat will you need to be successful in this role?Within this role you will be responsible for a broad range of tasks, including; Being a Project leader or Subsystem Owner for critical projects:<ul><li>Perform work breakdown</li><li>Build, monitor and maintain the projects timeline</li><li>Responsible for troubleshooting</li><ul><li>Lead cross-team developments</li><li>Ensure documentation is in place and align to design to build</li><li>Identify, assess and mitigate risks</li><li>Follow critical purchases to ensure that the timeline is meet </li></ul></ul>Helping other Project coordinators to succeed<ul><li>Running project management process including resource allocation &amp; reporting</li><li>Developing ways to share best project management practices </li><li>Ensure other project leaders and subsystems owners stick to the timeline</li><li>Ensure project leaders have the documentation in place</li><li>Identify, assess and mitigate risks and support the project leader to get better at this in the future</li><li>Aligning with the supply chain on prioritization of orders and providing visibility on critical items.</li></ul>Helping Subsystem Owners to succeed <ul><li>Setting expectations for Subsystem Owners</li><li>Developing trainings and best practises sharing for subsystem owners </li></ul>As part of the role, it is essential that you:<ul><li>Have experience in how to design Mechanics, or electronics, or software of spacecraft systems.</li><li>Understand the satellite as a system and understand the implications of design changes in overall performance of spacecraft or technical complexity.</li><li>Have been an engineer in their career and preferably an important percentage of your career.
