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.
