Position Description
Position Description
The candidate selected for this position will have a Dimensional Management emphasis within the Structural and Payload Design team within the Mechanical and Structural Engineering (MSE) function Process and Tools organization. Develops, integrates and documents structural and interior payload system requirements to establish the system and component dimensional requirements and design. Develops, maintains and modifies structural and interior payload system and component designs, using 3-D Computer Aided Design tools and Variation Analysis tools or analysis methods, to provide product definition approaches to assist and/or guide other engineering groups, production operations, suppliers and external customers throughout the product lifecycle. Assist with investigation of emerging technologies to develop concepts for future product designs and requirements. Work independently and with general supervision. Major tasks typically include the following: At a project level, assess process capabilities of the product design. Assess and influence design features for feasibility of manufacturing. Ensure compliance with the geometric dimensioning and tolerance standards are in line with functional requirements and process capabilities. Create baselines that can be improved. Confirm design features to be compatible with selected manufacturing processes. Develop requirements to provide manageable limits at all levels of the design using a variety of data reporting methods Identify, investigate and approve product and process improvements by conducting process and data collection analysis, reviewing best practice data, preparing business cases, performing trade studies, approving and validating proposed changes. Support coordination with teams through product/process improvement methodologies including conducting training. Assist in monitoring and evaluating new technologies. Addition tasks may include the following: Perform variation analysis to calculate the effects of tolerances, locating methods, and assembly sequences. Influence processes to match the requirements from the variation analysis. Evaluate manufacturing data to confirm process control. Influences change proposals to achieve robust variation controls. Coordinate dimensional requirements across internal and external team members. Utilize process capability databases. Provide input to the program plan to ensure timely incorporation of dimensional management activities and deliverables. Analyze and recommend design/build concepts. Create and investigate alternative solutions to meet the functional and assembly requirements. Provide users support for dimensional management. Support proposal preparation and new business development efforts. Perform configuration refinement using regulatory and company approved processes and procedures to ensure hardware compatibility and conformance to engineering definitions. Perform on-going configuration refinement and production support to suppliers and manufacturers to sustain and improve production. Perform external product support to maintain and/or improve continued product performance and safety.
Competencies
General
[ + ] Adaptability
Generally understands changes in own and others' work-group tasks and situations as well as the logic or basis for change; generally seeks information about changes affecting own and fellow employees' jobs. Treats changes and new situations as opportunities for learning or growth; focuses on the beneficial aspects of change; speaks positively about the change to work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups. Quickly modifies behavior to deal effectively with changes in the work environment; readily tries new approaches appropriate for new or changed situations; does not persist with ineffective behaviors.
[ + ] Build Positive Relationships
Generally builds effective working relationships with work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups. Asks for and provides information of to clarify situations. Seeks and expands on original ideas, enhances others' ideas, and contributes own ideas about the issues at hand. Usually places higher priority on team or departmental goals than on own goals. Seeks agreement from work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups to support ideas or take partnership-oriented action; explains value of actions. Generally establishes good interpersonal relationships by helping people feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions.
[ + ] Communication
Generally clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Usually keeps the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames the message in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Generally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Accurately interprets messages from others and responds appropriately.
[ + ] Continuous Improvement
Reviews a variety of processes to identify gaps between requirements and current outputs within own and occasionally within other work groups. Identifies potential conditions that contribute to gaps or key variances; explores relationships between conditions and effects; distinguishes causes from symptoms and identifies primary causes. Generates ideas for solutions; analyzes the effect or impact of each solution; selects appropriate solutions. Tests solutions; gathers feedback on effectiveness; reviews impact on baseline measures; modifies solutions as appropriate to ensure effectiveness.
[ + ] Customer Focus
Considers customers and their needs when performing and/or working with others on routine tasks; supports others and occasionally becomes directly involved in developing and sustaining customer relationships; assists more experienced employees in seeking information to understand customers' circumstances, problems, expectations, and needs; prepares information which more experienced employees will share with customers to build their understanding of issues and capabilities; considers how day-to-day actions or plans affect customers; responds quickly to help others address customer needs and resolve problems.
