The posting

The Technical Program Integration Lead serves as the focal point for integrated planning and execution within a major program segment, product area, or technical domain

This role bridges technical complexity and program execution by transforming multiple engineering, product, software, hardware, operations, integration, and supplier workstreams into a cohesive, executable, and measurable program plan. Working across technical teams, systems engineering, program management, and program controls organizations, the Senior Technical Program Integration Lead ensures scope, dependencies, risks, readiness criteria, and delivery commitments are accurately represented within the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and broader program framework

  • Identify, manage, and continuously validate cross-functional dependencies, interfaces, and integration points Facilitate planning sessions, integration reviews, dependency assessments, and milestone readiness activities
  • Serve as the primary integration interface between technical teams, Program Management, Program Controls, and Systems Engineering
  • Proactively identify technical, schedule, resource, and integration risks that may impact program objectives Assess impacts associated with technical changes, schedule variances, dependency disruptions, and execution challenges
  • Support the development of mitigation plans, recovery strategies, and execution alternatives
  • Provide leadership with clear assessments of milestone readiness, execution health, dependency status, and schedule confidence
  • Establish and maintain objective readiness criteria for major reviews, integration events, and delivery milestones Support program governance and decision-making forums by presenting integrated execution assessments and recommendations
  • Drive continuous improvement in planning discipline, dependency management, milestone definition, and execution practices
  • Foster increased planning maturity and execution accountability across assigned domains
  • Ensure technical teams maintain a credible, integrated, and executable plan that supports program commitments
