Product Data Management Engineer 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.

Competencies
General• Build Positive Relationships
Builds effective working relationships within the work group, with interorganizational employees, and occasionally with external customers. Probes for and provides information to clarify situations.

Makes appropriate changes to job/role structures and processes by communicating effectively and focusing on new skill development. Uses accurate measurement systems to monitor the implementation.
Technical• Analytical Skills
Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings; develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources at the department level.
• Engineering Processes
Complete knowledge of responsibilities and tasks performed by various Engineering departments/disciplines (e.g., design, test, software, technology, avionics). Complete knowledge of the interaction between departments/ disciplines and how their products/processes affect one another and impact non-engineering processes (e.g., Operations, Logistics, Business).
• Engr Knowledge/Comprehension
Complete knowledge of various engineering disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, and systems. The ability to communicate with technical personnel from multiple skill areas and functions to evaluate technical information and issues impacting design, production, and support of products, services, or other deliverables.
