This project is an engineering career ladder framework and professional development planning tool. It provides a methodology for defining seniority levels and the specific requirements needed to achieve promotions through a competency-based performance rubric.
The framework focuses on separating people management duties from technical leadership to clarify organizational accountability. It utilizes an organizational role definition model to distinguish between individual contributor and manager responsibilities, preventing conflict and aligning professional goals.
The system covers engineering performance management by measuring growth across dimensions such as system ownership, technical influence, and people leadership. It also includes a technical leadership framework to establish benchmarks for balancing managerial duties with architectural oversight.
