Boeing will replace Mike Sinnett as vice president and chief project engineer for the 787 program with his counterpart on the 777, Bob Whittington, as part of a major management shuffle within the company’s engineering ranks, the company announced last Friday. Sinnett—the 787’s lead engineer since January 2010—will assume the role of vice president of product development in place of Larry Schneider, who assumes Whittington’s position as v-p and chief project engineer on the 777. The moves account for part of an effort to reorganize Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ engineering department into three independent but cooperative design centers based in Washington State, Southern California and South Carolina, according to BCA vice president of engineering Mike Delaney.
