Product Data Management Engineer 2\3
Collaborates with teams in the development and delivery of the Spatial planning and integration effort for the 747/767/777 or a derivative Program. Supports the development of airplane level spatial integration plans that support the program configuration management plans, reflecting critical design elements, process and tool change integration, manual and Digital Pre-Assembly (DPA), as appropriate and other drivers that influence integration capability. Leads reviews to assure this integration occurs, identifying risk areas, interferences, missing elements, etc. Drive risk and mitigation plans as appropriate to gain resolution. Work with other integration focals and report to the appropriate leadership teams to assure continued integration and understanding of risks throughout the program. As program appropriate, work with other BCA personnel to assure that the Spatial Plan is developed and stays synchronized with the evolution of spatial tools and that data contained in those tools are visible and capable of being integrated with existing data. Provide expertise over time as a subject matter expert (SME) for spatial integration processes and tools by maintaining close contact with the community that provides those tools. Knowledgeable of engineering CAD/CAM software and tool configuration management requirements. Preferred CATIA / ENOVIA experience.

Work may be checked by more experienced employees; may lead and direct the activities and resources of smaller projects within work group.
• Systems Thinking
Generally evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet work group objective(s); attempts to identify non-value-adding components and barriers. Seeks input from others within work group and occasionally other internal employees to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Supports changes to job/role structures and processes by communicating effectively and focusing on new skill development. Participates in measurement systems to monitor the implementation.
