Analyze production processes, control plans, schedules, and manufacturing methods to determine future needs.

Participate in audits to evaluate supplier capabilities and alignment with design requirements.

Work cross-functionally with supply chain, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve design, manufacturing, and procurement challenges.

Support initiatives in Industry 4.0, digital factory development, model-based enterprise, advanced manufacturing, and additive manufacturing.

Produce accurate technical documentation, including analyses, reports, and engineering presentations.

Review manufacturing instructions and processes to identify improvements in efficiency and quality.

Develop strategy documentation and standardized processes to streamline TDP development.

Provide real-time engineering support to suppliers on feasibility and manufacturability questions.

Evaluate production run results to validate “as-designed” versus “as-manufactured” outcomes.

Work closely with program management, technical teams, and customer groups to achieve project milestones.

Solve technical issues, manage deliverables, and take ownership of corrective actions.

Collaborate with end users to diagnose and resolve engineering challenges.
