Job Description Qualifications:

The Lead COSC Customer Operations Support Engineer (also referred internally as a COSC RM) is the on-orbit customer's main point of contact with Boeing and is responsible for day-to-day customer interaction. Being a COSC RM exposes you to more overall aspects of satellite operations quicker than any other position at Boeing.

The RM position represents the entry level to regional management and will be trained on the job by the senior RMs and COSC General Manager (GM). RMs are essentially Program Management Focals for a portfolio of customers, often selected by region of the world to help align time zones and optimize on-site visit proximity. The RM must communicate well at levels including customers, local management, peers, support staff, and executives.

• Coordinate with the Insurance Office and Senior Management for reportable anomalies
• Strong time management skills and the ability to juggle/prioritize changing priorities to keep schedule commitments

• Identify opportunities to improve Boeing products, service, and flow back to new programs and functional areas
• Review technical analysis and recommendations from diverse satellite subsystems and ground areas
• Manage your fleet budget including weekly review of SME charging to maintain cost control
