Job Description:

The Scientist, Digital Engineering (Scientist, Project Engineering) has responsibility for leading the design of the ecosystems that will be used to execute integrated multi-discipline engineering processes (i.e. Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, Software) through the harnessing of modern digital capabilities. This position will be responsible for developing & executing the ecosystem architecture and integration approach to deliver improved engineering abilities to rapidly develop and deliver products, and to improve value stream handoffs.

In addition, this role will actively partner with Segment discipline leadership to ensure the technical delivery of highly scalable and performant capabilities supports technical / product roadmap development and mission solution creation. This position reports directly to the Senior Director, Engineering Operations in the office of the CTO.

The Digital Engineering role will be adept at leveraging technology and partnering with technical experts to develop an integrated set of discipline-specific digital strategies to deliver superior mission solutions. This role will define a vision around the strategy, technology and talent that will be core to this ever-evolving initiative. A key area of focus will be partnering with IT to understand the needs of stakeholders across the enterprise to build, grow, and lead a matrixed team to deliver high quality capabilities to promote the Digital experience.

Job Responsibilities:

* Advance L3Harris' ability to transition products to the customer more effectively using new design methodology tools (model-based design, digital engineering)
* Assess current state tools and processes, customer requirements and business needs to develop a discipline-specific strategic roadmap, identifying and prioritizing key capabilities to be integrated in the digital thread e.g. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), etc.
* Complete enterprise maturity assessments for digital engineering implementation
* Mature engineering capabilities to reduce defects, rework, improve productivity, and the ability to update parametric predictive models
* Work closely with IT on the integration of new tools and updates to enterprise platform tools
* Create metrics to demonstrate improved abilities for rapid development and delivery of work products in the value stream

Qualifications:

* Bachelor's Degree in engineering, computers science, mathematics or physics with 12 years of prior related experience in Systems Engineering processes and tools, with specific focus on requirements management and system architecture and/or strong background in hardware design with thorough understanding of Mechanical engineering process and tools or a Graduate degree with 10 years of prior relevant experience

Preferred Qualifications:

* Experienced in developing systems architectures
* Experience with enterprise architecture and interoperability approaches across elements
* Experience in developing and delivering products throughout product lifecycle, including the bid and proposal phase
* Experience executing & delivering complex programs in a digital environment
* Ability to work across multiple business units / divisions
* Advanced knowledge of engineering tools / platforms and how engineering data is stored and used
* Deep knowledge of systems engineering and either software or hardware engineering
* Ability to articulate the vision, characteristics, and benefits of strategy to leadership
