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
• 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/NetSuite.
• Support traceability and audit readiness.
