Collins Aerospace is standing up a Digital Product Life Cycle (DPLC) Program Management Office (PMO) to lead the DPLC initiative at Collins. This is a critical initiative to the future of our business that will catalyze a business transformation. To build out and scale capabilities across Collins, the team is currently composed of a:

• Digital Engineering

• Product Lifecycle Management

• Connected Operations

• Manufacturing Execution Systems

• Life Cycle Data Applications

This position is Life Cycle Data Applications Technical Lead role. Data applications (e.g., Digital Thread, Digital Twin) will give Collins Aerospace the framework to make decisions early as they relate to product enhancements, quality, reliability, and serviceability. Data applications will provide fleet-wide control and visibility over the full lifespan of any product under observation, allowing for a proactive approach to product management. Design change effectivity, system-level interactions, airline maintenance deviations, enhanced PHM, rapid fault isolation, and precise factory demand loading for replacement parts are only a fraction of the use cases that will be enabled by life cycle data applications. All of this will provide cost savings, enable revenue generation, or both as we use this capability to provide differentiated product designs, operational efficiencies, and best-in-class customer experiences.

As the Technical Lead, you will be technical authority responsible for defining and supporting the building of desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable lifecycle data applications that meet stakeholder needs across engineering, manufacturing, service, and aftermarket organizations demonstrating how as-designed, as-built, and as-fielded models and data can be used across our enterprise to support the development of a new breed of product life cycle analytical capabilities and digital twins. This will require you to influence the application of new technology (e.g., Knowledge Graph, Machine Learning & AI) to support this initiative. You will enable the business to build their product digital thread that will enable future digital twins to drive new / optimized product design and development capabilities, enhancement and/or creation of new services for better in-field support, maintenance, and aftermarket processes.

You will engage, collaborate, and build relationships with leaders across COLLINS AEROSPACE and RTX to align teams to a common technical direction to meet the vision, mission and roadmap.

You will be a thought leader to define and develop clear product life cycle data applications strategy / road map for Collins. This will require you to recommend, identify and work closely with the team to develop use cases, manage key requirements with the product teams and dependent product teams to shape the product roadmap.

The role will be regularly challenged with problems that will require a forward-looking and future-reaching mind set to build / evolve Life Cycle data applications that will scale across Collins Aerospace.

This individual can sit at any Collins domestic location or remote.
