Engineering Career Framework

🌟 What’s a Career Framework? 🌟

Welcome to the GoodHabitz Engineering Career Framework! This is your go-to guide for making a significant impact in your role and team, as well as for growing in your engineering career. For our dedicated managers, this framework is a great tool to set clear expectations and support your team's accountability and growth.

What the Career Framework is not

This framework isn’t just a checklist for promotions. Instead, it’s designed to inspire you to envision and achieve greater impact at the next level. Remember, it’s about looking on the bright side and reaching higher!

Also, it's not a comprehensive list of examples and behaviors. We've highlighted a few key behaviors for each responsibility to spark your creativity and guide your work. To really tailor it to your goals, a chat with your manager to align expectations and set impactful goals is a fantastic idea.

What’s in a Career Framework?

Our framework consists of two main components:

  1. Level Expectations: These outline the scope, collaborative influence, and ways to make an impact at each level. They're the 'what' that distinguishes roles, like the difference between an IC3 and IC4.
  2. Core and Craft Responsibilities: These detail the key behaviors unique to your role and team. They're the 'how' behind your work to create impact, aligned with your level expectations.

How to navigate this framework

At GoodHabitz, we measure success by the long-term impact you create. Start by focusing your work on generating lasting impact. If you’re wondering, 'What exactly is impact?', have a look at What is Impact?.

Next, familiarize yourself with the expectations for your level and team. You'll find a crisp summary for each level, detailing the role’s scope, collaborative reach, and impact strategies.

Dive into the expected behaviors under the Results, Direction, Talent, Culture pillars from the Core Responsibilities. Then, explore your Craft expectations – these are the technical skills you need to master at your level. And don’t forget to catch up with your manager to set your goals for the quarter. Here’s to having fun and keeping your eyes on the prize while you climb your career ladder at GoodHabitz!
