Job Title: Systems Engineering Design Leader

Duration: Long term

Clients: GE medical

Responsibilities: Duties include (but are not limited to):

• Lead the definition of incremental features (ex: essential characteristics, accessories, alarms, etc.) for our new SEALM (Systems Eng Application Lifecycle Management) tool, specifically Jama Connect.
• As part of feature development in SEALM, lead the following activities:
• Gather initial stakeholder inputs and existing best practice implementations across key product teams
• Define a draft “standard work” proposal (process definition, training package, and proposed tool configuration including formal change requests). Refer to applicable GEHC internal standards, work instructions, and external standards for guidance
• Identify “corner case” subset of users and verify that the standard work or process proposal meets their needs. Use this as the initial “MVP” proposal
• Communicate to the broad community of all users the new standard process or work
• Triage feedback received from the community into 1) Must fix, gates adoption, 2) Productivity improvement (to be planned), 3) Nice to have…probably the team needs to migrate to new standard work.
• Submit formal change requests for implementation and ‘shepherd’ through deployment
• Create a summary explaining the triage (when we enforce standard work, when do we accept local practices as appropriate “tailoring”)
