The investigation is tied to an incident on an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Boeing also told a Senate panel that it cannot find a record of the work done on the Alaska plane.
He’s listed as a senior executive. Not clear to me if he was on the board or anything, but he’s definitely more than an engineer or mid-manager.
Where is he listed as such?

“senior manager:” https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/volkswagen-senior-manager-sentenced-84-months-prison-role-conspiracy-cheat-us-emissions-tests
“Senior manager” basically means Vice President or President. He was pretty high up, and likely reported to the board directly or only one step away.
“Senior manager” means manager of managers, still below director.
He testified that actual executives and lawyers gave him his script to read to regulators. He was complicit, he was guilty, but he was far from the topmost person responsible.
