Responsibilities:DVT & Design Release Support
- Participate in DVT readiness and design reviews to identify component risks, manufacturability concerns, and documentation gaps.
- Support design transfer activities to ensure readiness for manufacturing release.
Component Risk & Lifecycle Assessment
- Evaluate lifecycle status (NRND/EOL), supplier risk, and availability
- Recommend alternates and mitigation strategies.
- Support Release of OTS and custom parts
Mechanical Drawing Review & Manufacturability
- Review drawings for dimensional accuracy, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and tolerance stack-up risks.
- Assess manufacturability relative to supplier capabilities.
- Identify over-constrained tolerances and yield risks.
- Provide actionable DFM/DFA feedback.
Cross-Functional Support
- Act as liaison between Engineering and Supply Chain.
- Support supplier technical discussions.
- Assist in resolving build and early production issues.
- Support an effort of the supply chain activity by identifying long lead time items and engaging with the suppliers for potential cross-references
Data & Documentation
- Support lifecycle advancement of components in Propel by ensuring complete specifications, compliance, and approved sourcing for pre-production readiness.
- Ensure alignment of component data across Propel/NetSuite.
- Support traceability and audit readiness.
