This is a delivery-focused leadership role operating within a matrix organisation. The role does not own engineering resource directly; instead, it drives programme performance by working in close partnership with functional leadership to ensure Connectivity projects are staffed with the right combination of capabilities and capacities at the right point in the programme lifecycle.\nReporting to the Engineering Integration Leader, the role leads the Connectivity Engineering IPT, owns technical risk and opportunity management, and holds single-point responsibility for on-time and on-budget delivery of Connectivity modification programmes from contract award through to certification and entry into service.\nKey Responsibilities:\nProgramme Execution\nOwn on-time and on-budget delivery of all Connectivity modification programmes across the CME portfolio.\nLead the Connectivity Engineering IPT, setting pace and direction across all active and pipeline projects.\nApply a maturity-gated, hybrid agile/waterfall execution strategy; ensure engineering flow is driven by technical readiness, not task lists, and that full kit is available before downstream disciplines are engaged.\nMonitor and own the Tier 2 and Tier 3 performance metrics for Connectivity programmes, including Design Maturity and Certification Maturity milestone achievement and freeze sequence compliance.\nOwn the engineering baseline for all Connectivity projects, maintaining configuration integrity from concept through to certification.\nCapability and Capacity Management in a Matrix\nWork closely with functional senior managers and to ensure Connectivity programmes have access to the right engineering capabilities at the right time.\nIdentify resource requirements early in the programme lifecycle, translate them into clear demand signals, and escalate gaps before they become schedule threats.\nInfluence functional workforce planning by providing forward-looking visibility of Connectivity programme demand across disciplines.\nWhere capability gaps cannot be resolved internally, work with functional leadership and the Engineering Integration Leader to identify and action solutions, whether through upskilling, reallocation, or external resource.\nHold functional teams accountable for delivery commitments once resource is allocated, escalating performance issues through the appropriate leadership channel.\nTechnical Risk and Opportunity Management\nOwn the technical risk and issue register for all Connectivity programmes, maintaining an accurate, current, and prioritised view of the RIO landscape.\nLead structured root cause analysis and corrective action for technical issues affecting schedule, budget, or airworthiness compliance.\nIdentify technical opportunities to improve delivery performance, reduce rework, or increase engineering maturity at key milestones, and drive them to resolution.\nEscalate risks to the Engineering Integration Leader with clear impact assessment and recommended mitigation, not just problem statements.\nEnsure that technical decisions are traceable, documented, and aligned to the applicable airworthiness requirements under EASA Part 21J.\nAirworthiness and Certification\nEnsure all Connectivity modification programmes are planned and executed in compliance with EASA Part 21J design organisation requirements and applicable certification basis.\nWork closely with the Airworthiness Manager to ensure Compliance Reports, ICA deliverables, and certification documentation are produced on schedule and to the required standard.\nSupport or lead customer and authority interactions at key certification milestones, acting as the technical voice of the Connectivity IPT.\nMaintain awareness of evolving airworthiness requirements and ensure their implications for Connectivity programmes are understood and addressed early.\nStakeholder Engagement\nAct as the primary engineering interface for Connectivity programmes with customers, suppliers, and regulatory authorities.\nBuild and maintain strong working relationships with CME functional leads, the Airworthiness function, Proposals, and the broader Integration leadership team.\nProvide clear, concise programme performance reporting to the Engineering Integration Leader, including honest assessment of schedule, cost, risk, and corrective action status.\nRepresent CME engineering credibly in internal and external forums, including programme reviews, customer sessions, and authority interactions.\nTeam Leadership\nLead a direct team of Project Engineers and Manufacturing Engineers embedded within the Connectivity IPT, providing line management, development, and performance oversight.\nUse Project Engineers as the primary programme execution agents: each assigned project must have clear ownership, a maintained schedule, and an accurate RIO register driven by a named Project Engineer accountable to this role.\nBuild the team's capability deliberately: identify development needs early, create stretch opportunities, and ensure each team member has a clear picture of what good performance looks like and how they are tracking against it.\nSet clear expectations, provide regular and candid feedback, and address performance issues directly and fairly, without delay.\nRole-model the CME leadership standard: own the outcome, not just the task; communicate with clarity; and hold the line on quality and airworthiness.\nBasic Qualifications:\nSignificant experience in aerospace engineering, with a substantial portion in commercial aircraft modification, MRO, or OEM environments.\nDemonstrated experience leading a team of Project Engineers and/or Manufacturing Engineers in an IPT or programme context, with direct accountability for schedule and budget performance.\n5+ years of leadership experience\nProven ability to work across functional boundaries to secure resource, resolve gaps, and drive cross-functional delivery commitments.\nStrong working knowledge of EASA Part 21J design organisation requirements and airworthiness processes.\nExperience managing technical risk in a complex, multi-discipline programme environment, with structured use of RIO registers and corrective action processes.\nDegree-level qualification in an aerospace, mechanical, or related engineering discipline.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nHands-on experience across Connectivity modification disciplines including cabin structures, cabin safety, and cabin systems.\nFamiliarity with lean programme execution and maturity-gated engineering frameworks, including freeze sequence management.\nBachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement\nThis role has 3 location options:\n-Hamburg or Munich (Germany)\n-Dublin (Ireland)\n-Frimley (United Kingdom)\nThe successful candidate is expected to work from office for minimum 4 days in a week.\nThe Boeing benefits package goes above and beyond, focusing on your physical, emotional, financial and social well-being.\nHere’s a snapshot of what we offer:\nUK Benefits:\nCompetitive salary and annual incentive plans\nContinuous learning - you’ll develop the approach and skills to navigate whatever comes next\nSuccess as defined by you - we’ll provide the tools and flexibility, so you can make a meaningful impact, your way\nAn inclusive culture - you’ll be embraced for who you are and empowered to use your voice to help others find theirs\nExcellent Adoption and Parental leave options\n23 days plus UK public holidays and a Winter Break between Christmas and New Year\nPension Plan with up to 10% employer contribution\nCompany paid BUPA Medical Plan\nShort Term Sickness: 100% pay for the first 26 weeks\nLong Term Sickness: 66.67% of annual salary from 27th week\n6x annual salary life insurance\nLearning Together Programme to support your on-going personal and career development\nAccess to Boeing’s Well Being Programs, tool and incentives\nIreland Benefits:\nCompetitive salary and annual incentive plans \nContinuous learning - you’ll develop the approach and skills to navigate whatever comes next \nSuccess as defined by you - we’ll provide the tools and flexibility, so you can make a meaningful impact, your way \nInclusive culture - you’ll be embraced for who you are and empowered to use your voice to help others find theirs \nExcellent Adoption and Parental leave options \n25 days plus public holidays and a Winter Break between Christmas and New Year \nPension Plan with up to 10% employer contribution \nCompany paid Irish Life Medical Plan \nShort Term Sickness: 100% pay for the first 26 weeks \nLong Term Sickness: 66.67% of annual salary from 27th week \n6x annual salary life insurance \nLearning Together Programme to support your on-going personal and career development \nAccess to Boeing’s Well Being Programs, tool and incentives \nGermany Benefits:\nVacation & Personal Time Off: 32 vacation days plus paid PTO for life events - recharge when it matters \n Meal & Transport: Monthly meal allowance of €115 and € 50 transport credit through flexible apps (including Deutschland-Ticket, any form of public transportation, e-rollers and bikes, taxis/Uber, fuel/e-charges, and bike leasing) to help with daily costs, commuting and personal travel \nPension & Retirement: Robust pension plan and flexible contribution options to support your financial future \nIncome & Insurance Protection: Life insurance at 2x annual salary and total occupational disability cover at 1x;
