A Subject Matter Expert Controls Engineer expertiseis a critical role within the Engine Control Product Release Center (PRC). This expert works with the Controls COE Manger, Controls Developers,Calibration community, Advanced and Production Requirements teams to ensure all requirements are delivered by the Controls COE team on time and with high quality meeting program requirements. This role provides technical leadership to the PRC controls developers in the proper implementation of the requirements, including controls assessments and prototype code delivery. The expert leads training in allaspects of the engine control development including assisting in Agile ceremonies. The Subject matter expert also provides feedback to the team on key process indicators (KPI), participates inagile ceremonies, including daily scrum standups, sprint planning and demo sessions.
