Role Summary
RTX is seeking an actionoriented senior leader to drive the ModelBased Enterprise (MBE) transformation across the company as part of the ModelBased Digital Thread (MBDT) Process Capability Center.

The Digital Engineering Transformation Lead will report directly to the Executive Director, MBDT PCC and will serve as a principal change agent and strategic consultant to the digital transformation program offices of the four Business Units. This role will define and mature an endtoend Digital Lifecycle corporate strategy spanning product design & development, production, and sustainment, in alignment with customer requirements and RTX enterprise objectives.

This is a strategic technical leadership role requiring deep expertise in modelbased engineering and digital technologies, combined with strong executive presence, influence, and changemanagement capabilities. The leader in this role will shape strategy, drive crossBU alignment, and deliver measurable business impact from MBE and AIenabled engineering capabilities.

Strategic Leadership & Vision

• Lead the development, communication, and continuous refinement of the RTX Model Based Enterprise transformation strategy in partnership with Business Units and corporate functions (Digital, Operations, Engineering).

• Drive the Digital Lifecycle technology roadmap in collaboration with BU leaders, ensuring alignment with enterprise strategy, customer needs, and key business KPIs.

• Collaborate with BU and corporate stakeholders to define strategy and roadmap on how agentic AI capabilities augment and automate engineering workflows (e.g., requirements, design, analysis, verification, sustainment).

• Act as a primary advisor and thought partner to BU transformation leaders, helping shape their roadmaps and ensuring coherence and interoperability across RTX.

Thought partners include:

• Internal partners - T&GE leaders, RTRC, BBN, BUs

• External partners - university partners, vendors, and government agencies

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development, communication, and continuous refinement of the RTX Model Based Enterprise transformation strategy in partnership with Business Units and corporate functions (Digital, Operations, Engineering).

• Drive the Digital Lifecycle technology roadmap in collaboration with BU leaders, ensuring alignment with enterprise strategy, customer needs, and key business KPIs.

Enterprise Change Management & Alignment

• Lead cross functional, cross BU initiatives to harmonize MBE processes, methods, and tools, ensuring a consistent enterprise approach while respecting BU-specific needs.

• Champion change management practices: define change strategies, stakeholder engagement plans, communications, and adoption metrics for MBE deployment across engineering organizations.

• Influence senior stakeholders and decision makers to prioritize and fund MBE initiatives, using data driven business cases and clear value propositions.

• Drive alignment across RTX on common standards, architectures, and best practices for Model Based Engineering and Digital Thread, working closely with Enterprise Services, Engineering Councils, and Operations.

• Drive, harmonize, and prioritize MBE requirements into digital architectures and solutions as part of the MBE workflow transformation, in collaboration with Enterprise Services / PST and other digital teams.

• Lead identification and development of common MBE capabilities and associated investment plans with Enterprise Services and Engineering Councils.

• Collaborate with the AI Center of Excellence (COE) to prioritize opportunities, define guardrails, and integrate AI capabilities into the engineering design pipeline in a safe, scalable, and value focused manner.

• Represent RTX in national working groups, industry consortia, and standards bodies on Model Based Engineering, Digital Engineering, and related domains.

• Act as a visible thought leader internally and externally, communicating RTX's MBE vision, strategy, and progress to executives, customers, partners, and industry forums.

Contribution

• The role shapes and drives RTXwide MBE and AIenabled workflow strategies that affect engineering effectiveness, cost, schedule, quality, and risk across multiple Business Units.

• Impact is realized over multiyear horizons through changes to core engineering processes, digital architecture, and ways of working, not just on a single program or site.

• Recommendations from this role materially influence enterprise technology roadmaps, prioritization of crossBU investments, and adoption of common capabilities.

The position has decision-making authority in:

• The role has substantial authority to propose, design, and recommend enterprise standards, roadmaps, and investments, but typically does not own BU budgets or direct line organizations.

• Participates in or cochairs crossfunctional councils/working groups, where it can:

• Set or recommend standards and reference architectures

• Gate or endorse enterprise initiatives

• Escalate issues and tradeoffs to executive sponsors

• Decisionshaping, not decisionowning, for BUs.

• Final operational decisions (e.g., BUspecific tools, staffing, budgets) remain with BU leadership, but this role strongly shapes those decisions through data, strategy, and executive alignment.

The role influences through:

• Influence: Uses expertise, business cases, and relationships to align executives and functional leaders around common MBE/AI workflow strategies, standards, and priorities.

• Negotiate: Balances BUspecific needs with enterprise harmonization, negotiating tradeoffs in scope, timing, and investment to reach workable, shared solutions.

• Coordinate: Orchestrates crossBU initiatives, working groups, and pilots to ensure consistent execution and knowledge sharing, but relies on BU teams for implementation.

Qualifications You Must Have

• University degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field (or equivalent experience) and a minimum of 14 years of relevant experience; or an advanced degree and a minimum of 12 years of experience.

• Breadth and depth of knowledge of engineering processes and model based methods for the development, production, and sustainment of complex cyber physical systems in the Aerospace & Defense domain.

• Broad experience leading multi discipline, multi function change management initiatives in large, complex organizations.

• Broad understanding of model based technologies, data factories, and engineering/manufacturing data systems.

• Demonstrated leadership of complex, cross disciplinary technical teams, including influencing without direct authority and leading through others.

• Exceptional communication skills-written, verbal, and visual-with the ability to tailor messaging from engineering teams to C suite executives and external stakeholders.
