  • Support key operational activities such as short cycle requests, change orders, sales order assignments, non-conformance support, field request support, and other critical ITR leader responsibilities.
  • Integrate with Project Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, Sourcing, vendors, service shops, and other teams as necessary to support successful project outcomes.
  • Provide timely and accurate responses to technical inquiries using engineering tools, technical documentation, prior project experience, and collaboration with subject matter experts.
  • Help drive a culture of technical rigor, customer focus, accountability, and continuous learning across the Agile ITR team.
