Component Engineer

Responsibilities:

DVT & Design Release Support

• Participate in DVT readiness and design reviews to identify component risks, manufacturability concerns, and documentation gaps.
• Support design transfer activities to ensure readiness for manufacturing release.

Component Risk & Lifecycle Assessment

• Evaluate lifecycle status (NRND/EOL), supplier risk, and availability
• Recommend alternates and mitigation strategies.
• Support Release of OTS and custom parts

Mechanical Drawing Review & Manufacturability

• Review drawings for dimensional accuracy, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and tolerance stack-up risks.
• Assess manufacturability relative to supplier capabilities.
• Identify over-constrained tolerances and yield risks.
• Provide actionable DFM/DFA feedback.

Cross-Functional Support

• Act as liaison between Engineering and Supply Chain.
• Support supplier technical discussions.
• Assist in resolving build and early production issues.
• Support an effort of the supply chain activity by identifying long lead time items and engaging with the suppliers for potential cross-references

Data & Documentation

• Support lifecycle advancement of components in Propel by ensuring complete specifications, compliance, and approved sourcing for pre-production readiness.
• Ensure alignment of component data across Propel/Net Suite.
• Support traceability and audit readiness.
