use of review tools and data management:
* review and modify information in nx (modeling, surfacing, packaging, and integration).
* manage information in teamcenter and update engineering documentation.
* coordinate the release of completed geometry in nx teamcenter cad tools.
component launch and release:
* coordinate the release of components into production, ensuring compliance with manufacturing processes.
* manage engineering changes and update the bom (bill of materials).
process optimization and cost reduction:
* implement improvements in materials, manufacturing processes, and production costs.
* conduct benchmarking studies to identify optimization opportunities.
* participate in initiatives for weight reduction, cost savings, and manufacturing efficiency.
production support and quality monitoring:
* resolve technical issues on the production floor during the launch and series production.
* ensure the quality of components and propose improvements based on defect analysis.
monitoring and reporting:
* present technical progress and validation reports to engineering management.
* coordinate technical meetings with suppliers and internal teams.
* communicate the technical status of the product to management.
