Program Development Manager
Lead program development end-to-end—strategy, system engineering, QCD and reviews—in a cross-functional engineering environment with real impact on product performance and cost.
About the Company
Avaron AB is a growing consultancy that matches your expertise with the market's most interesting assignments, offering a platform where your professional development is central.
About the Assignment
In this role, you will take a leading position in structuring and driving program development within a complex system/product engineering context. You will work closely with the program core team and engineering stakeholders to ensure an efficient development approach, clear governance, and continuous improvement—while securing committed performance, quality, cost and delivery (QCD) targets.
The assignment includes ownership of key engineering plans and reviews, coordination across disciplines such as Safety, Cybersecurity, RAM and Industrialization, and acting as a technical interface towards users and other stakeholders.
Job Description
- Apply relevant processes, standards, methods and tools within the engineering discipline
- Organize the program development process and drive continuous improvement initiatives
- Prepare, maintain and align the Engineering Management Plan (EMP) with the program core and support teams, including development strategy, processes/tailoring, technical risks and key technical referents
- Review engineering plans across the program to ensure efficiency and consistency with the EMP
- Organize and follow up Design Reviews and peer reviews of engineering work products (specifications, documentation and implementations)
- Lead and coordinate program development activities to deliver program items according to QCD commitments
- Coordinate the program development team’s activities and collaborate transversally with engineering teams
- Ensure the product/system reaches committed performance levels
- Drive design-to-cost activities to reduce deployment and unit cost
- Support decision-making on design choices, make-or-buy, and roadmap, and validate decisions with stakeholders
- Support and connect related disciplines (Safety, Cybersecurity, RAM, Industrialization) and ensure alignment between them
- Act as the program’s technical interface, including coordination with System Application Architects where applicable
- Support users in needs definition and issue handling; manage user groups/user community
- Ensure consistency between baseline deliveries and long-term needs
- Support program reviews with technical reporting and follow-up
- Manage program item configuration together with the Configuration Manager, including configuration under PLM
- Manage the Delivery Master List (DML) and documentation review rules
- Ensure requirements management and requirements reporting
- Organize and lead CCBs (internal and external), delivery reviews (DyR), and participate in SW/HW or subsystem delivery reviews
- For products, lead hardware change and definition, including validation of hardware evolution (MR) and impact assessment
- Support engineering cost and planning management together with the Program Manager, including QCD analyses and estimations for evolutions
- Liaise with projects and tender activities (evolutions/anomalies analysis, roadmap, documentation support)
- Identify, alert and report risks/events impacting program development and QCD commitments
- Validate material selection and procurement activities together with the Program Manager
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years of experience in system/product métier (project or program)
- Knowledge of the program’s technical domain
- Expertise in System Engineering
- Experience coordinating cross-functional engineering teams and working transversally
- Ability to drive and follow up engineering governance (plans, reviews and decision-making)
- QCD management experience
- English communication skills
Nice to have
- Concurrent engineering experience
- Design for safety and RAM compliance
- Design for Quality life cycle experience

Om Avaron AB
Avaron grundades med visionen om att skapa ett konsultbolag där kompetens och livskvalitet går hand i hand. Vi är ett nischat team som idag verkar inom komplexa miljöer såsom bank, finans och storskalig industri.
Som konsult hos oss får du det bästa av två världar: tryggheten och de spännande uppdragen hos stora, etablerade uppdragsgivare, kombinerat med det lilla bolagets snabbhet, transparens och personliga kontakt.
Vi tror inte på krångliga hierarkier eller onödig administration. Istället lägger vi kraften på det som faktiskt betyder något – att leverera värde i våra projekt och att se till att våra medarbetare trivs, utvecklas och har en balans i livet som fungerar på riktigt.
