+ Help ensure cost impacts are clearly understood across design, integration, and program teams
+ Coordinate cross-functional reviews to align on study content, assumptions, and final cost position
+ Escalate gaps, delays, or misalignments early when they risk cost accuracy or program timing
+ Improve standard work, operating rhythm, and accountability related to PSDS study costing and cost integration
+ Provide clear updates to leadership and stakeholders on study status, open issues, risks, and recovery plans
**Required qualifications**
+ Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent technical experience
