• You will manage multiple device product programs and workstreams from engineering through production, serving as a key liaison between engineering teams, Integrated Supply Chain (ISC), suppliers, and customers. This includes overseeing design, test, build, procurement, installation, and delivery efforts while ensuring adherence to schedules, budgets, and technical requirements.

• You will proactively identify and resolve obstacles through prototype manufacturing and low-rate production, including managing change orders, supply chain disruptions, and purchasing issues with sufficient lead time to prevent delays.
• You will ensure all program activities comply with Cubic Corporation and Cubic Transportation Systems policies, procedures, and department instructions, driving efficiency and cost sensitivity across engineering-to-production workflows.
• You will lead workstream execution to meet technical performance targets within cost and schedule constraints, establishing milestones and monitoring adherence to program master plans using earned value management and financial tracking tools.
• You will manage and coordinate procurement, manufacturing, and shipment of device deliverables, leveraging hands-on SAP knowledge to track material demand and serve as the primary program liaison with ISC for material status updates.
• You will actively pursue risk reduction by identifying program issues early, facilitating timely resolution, and maintaining clear communication with senior executives, government agencies, subcontractors, and suppliers through effective presentations and negotiations.
• Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) is a global leader in intelligent transportation solutions, delivering fare collection, transit management, and passenger information systems that enable seamless urban mobility. Joining CTS means contributing to projects that move millions of people daily while working alongside diverse, expert teams committed to innovation, safety, and service excellence.
