- Translate client requirements into actionable inputs for offshore teams
- Participate in technical reviews, design discussions, and program meetings
- Coordinate design and development of aircraft structural components (fuselage, wing, empennage, interiors, etc.)
- Ensure compliance with aerospace standards such as FAR/CS regulations and company-specific design practices (e.g., ABD, BAC, DHC standards)
- Review and validate 2D drawings and 3D models, stress analysis reports, modification packages and concessions, and individual tasks based on requirements
- Support Enovia upload/download/link creation and related tasks
- Work within client PLM systems such as CATIA (V5/V6), ENOVIA, Teamcenter (if applicable)
- Ensure proper data management, version control, and release processes
- Support issue resolution related to CAD/PLM workflows
- Coordinate engineering changes (ECR/ECO) and ensure proper implementation
- Disposition of non-conformances (Use-As-Is, Repair, Rework)
- Ensure timely closure of design queries and shop floor issues
- Interface with manufacturing teams for build issues and design clarifications
- Support concession handling and deviation management
- Ensure producibility and manufacturability of designs
- Track deliverables, schedules, and milestones
- Identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks
- Provide daily/weekly status reports to stakeholders
- Ensure adherence to SLAs and KPIs
- Ensure deliverables meet aerospace quality standards
