• Develop engineering packages including work instructions formboards and basictoolingandfixtureconcepts
• Translate drawings BOMs and customer requirements into clear productionready processes
• Coordinate with crossfunctional teams to ensure programs meet quality schedule and manufacturability expectations
• Provide technical clarity and guidance during program reviews and build planning

Process Development & Improvement

• Define and refine manufacturing processes to improve build quality consistency and efficiency
• Evaluate parts and assemblies todeterminepractical scalable build approaches
• Support process validation workflow optimization and equipment/tooling readiness
• Apply lean principles time studies and capacity considerations to improve throughput
• Identifyimprovement opportunities within assigned programs and drive implementation

Documentation & Standards

• Ensure all documentation is clearaccurate and aligned with quality and customer requirements
