Responsibilities

Lead CAD quality and process adherence: Support CAD quality expectations, CAD data organization, model structure, file naming, release readiness, and adherence to applicable CAD/process standards. Identify recurring CAD quality or process gaps and communicate concerns to Engineering, Operations, and Design leadership
Lead design peer reviews: Schedule, organize, and facilitate design peer reviews for assigned engineering programs. Ensure reviews assess design maturity, integration risks, packaging concerns, manufacturability, serviceability, release readiness, and alignment to program requirements. Document actions, owners, risks, and closure status
Perform and lead digital compatibility reviews: Lead digital compatibility checks prior to release or build milestones, including packaging reviews, interface checks, clearance studies, clash/interference reviews, installation feasibility, service access, and integration concerns. Ensure findings are documented and communicated to responsible engineering or design owners for resolution
Perform CAD-to-BOM alignment checks: Review CAD structure against engineering BOMs to identify mismatches in part usage, assembly structure, naming, revision level, released content, quantities, and configuration. Work with Engineering, Design, Release, Operations, and Program teams to ensure gaps are visible and assigned for correction
Serve as operational liaison to the Design group: Communicate engineering program needs, CAD timing risks, resource constraints, review priorities, and design support requirements to Design leadership. Support planning discussions by conveying needed CAD/design resources but does not assign work to Design personnel or manage Design team priorities
Support quote development and planning: Support new business quote development by identifying CAD review scope, digital compatibility needs, CAD/BOM alignment effort, design resource assumptions, release readiness activities, review cadence, and execution risks that may affect timing, cost, or program delivery
Support CAD process improvement and lessons learned: Develop and maintain CAD quality checklists, peer review templates, digital compatibility review standards, CAD/BOM alignment methods, process documentation, and lessons learned. Recommend process improvements based on recurring issues identified during reviews
