Partner across Quality, Materials, Production, Service, R&D, and HR to align engineering capacity to the operating plan and backlog.
Your team
You will lead a close-knit, cross-disciplinary team of roughly a dozen engineers based onsite in Everett — spanning DFX, test, software, and metrology — working hands-on across our lab and manufacturing floor. The team partners daily with Production, Quality, Materials, Service, and R&D, runs a continuous-improvement (Kaizen) cadence, and operates with a “be curious, not judgmental” problem-solving mindset. Because this is a newly-shaped pillar, you will have unusual influence over how it is built — while plugging into Fortive’s broader engineering and operations community across operating companies. This role is considered a successor to the Director of Operations.
