• Compare digital scan data against engineering drawings, tooling requirements, and physical configuration information.
• Identify discrepancies and recommend corrective actions.
• Perform model review and validation using CATIA V5.

Manufacturing and Tool Engineering Support

• Provide general production engineering support for the C-130 program.
• Supplement existing engineering teams based on program workload and priorities.
• Support both manufacturing engineering and tool engineering activities.
• Evaluate manufacturing and assembly requirements for aircraft structures and components.
• Support resolution of shop-floor engineering issues related to tooling, fabrication, assembly, drawings, and digital models.
• Work under the direction of established engineering and program leadership.

Program and Resource Reporting

• Accurately document work activities and hours charged to C-130 programs.
• Maintain complete and accurate timekeeping records in accordance with program requirements.
• Provide required information to support weekly resource and labor reporting.
• Ensure records are available for verification by program management and customers when required.

Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizenship is required by Federal Law
• Experience reading and interpreting 2D engineering drawings, tooling and tool-design drawings, parts lists, bills of materials (BOMs), and manufacturing and design-process specifications.
• Strong working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Proficiency with CATIA V5 and/or 3DEXPERIENCE.
• Ability to create and modify 3D detail-part models and create, review, and evaluate assemblies.
• Experience performing clash, interference, fit, and assembly analysis.
• Experience working in an aircraft manufacturing, aerospace production, or aircraft assembly environment.
• Knowledge of aircraft fabrication and assembly processes, including machining, sheet-metal fabrication and forming, welding, and mechanical assembly.
• Ability to identify and resolve discrepancies between engineering drawings, digital models, tooling, production requirements, and physical hardware.
• Experience designing or developing tooling used for aircraft part fabrication and assembly.
• Experience with aerospace tooling involving critical interchangeable features, close-tolerance interfaces, and mating features.
• Experience evaluating, modifying, or updating tooling designs and engineering drawings.
• Experience scanning production parts, assemblies, and tooling.
• Experience reviewing and processing 3D scan and point-cloud data.
• Understanding of dimensional inspection and validation methods for digitally scanned aircraft hardware.
• Ability to coordinate technical activities with engineering teams, production personnel, program leadership, and third-party suppliers.
• Ability to work onsite in Marietta, GA and support C-130J engineering, manufacturing, tooling, and production requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:
