Product Delivery Manager

What you'll be doing

• Leading the delivery and continuous improvement of digital engineering capabilities supporting complex mechanical and fluid systems
• Developing product roadmaps, delivery plans and prioritised backlogs based on engineering and business requirements
• Supporting engineering toolchains covering system simulation, CAD, CFD, thermal analysis, configuration management and test data
• Ensuring effective integration and traceability between requirements, engineering models, analysis and test evidence
• Working with engineering teams to improve model-based and simulation-driven engineering practices
• Coordinating delivery across internal technical teams, external suppliers and technology partners
• Managing technical risks, dependencies, performance, capacity and service improvement
• Supporting the selection, implementation and optimisation of engineering technologies and platforms
• Establishing appropriate governance, data standards, access controls and configuration practices
• Driving adoption of new engineering tools, processes and ways of working across multidisciplinary teams
• Managing supplier relationships, technology evaluations and technical delivery
• Balancing immediate delivery requirements with longer-term architecture, scalability and maintainability

What we're looking for

• We are particularly interested in candidates who combine strong engineering knowledge with digital/product delivery experience.
• Significant experience delivering digital engineering capabilities within aerospace, defence or another highly regulated engineering environment
• Strong knowledge of mechanical and/or fluid systems engineering
• Experience with engineering environments involving 1D system simulation, CFD, thermal analysis and/or 3D CAD
• Good understanding of model-based engineering and simulation-driven design
• Experience integrating engineering tools, data and processes across complex environments
• Strong product, project or programme delivery experience
• Experience managing technical suppliers and system integrators
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across engineering, technology and leadership teams
• Experience operating within complex, multi-partner or distributed engineering programmes
• Strong understanding of governance, configuration management, data quality and engineering assurance
• Experience across areas such as fuel systems, hydraulics, environmental control, pneumatics, thermal management or other complex mechanical systems would be particularly valuable.
• A degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a related technical discipline is preferred, alongside relevant project, programme or service-management experience.

Security

Due to the nature of the environment, candidates must be eligible to obtain the appropriate UK security clearance.

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping how advanced engineering teams use digital technology, simulation and integrated engineering environments.

You'll have significant ownership of the capability roadmap and work with a broad range of engineering and technology specialists to introduce solutions that improve engineering efficiency, collaboration, traceability and quality.

If you have a background spanning digital engineering, mechanical/fluid systems and complex technical delivery, we'd be keen to hear from you.
