• Set the standards for how the team applies tolerance stack-up analysis results to ensure correct fit and alignment, and performance of complex assemblies

• Lead the team in how they check drawings for accuracy, correct GD&T, and compliance to the aerospace industry and customer drafting and manufacturing standards

• Support product definition reviews and coordinate work across many different sub-systems and modules for the aircraft system/jet engine

• Lead and execute the creation and maintenance of standard work for Product Design and Definition group, especially as MBD evolves

• Lead the team to effectively comprehend and implement oral and written inputs from several different customers
