Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Suppliers, and Inspection teams to establish dimensional requirements, gauging methods, inspection plans, and tolerance strategies using GD&T best practices.

Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for dimensional, fit, form, and function issues through application of GD&T principles and engineering analysis.

Ensure engineering documentation, drawings, and models adhere to company standards, industry standards, and customer requirements for dimensioning, tolerancing, and configuration management.

Support design reviews and product validation activities by verifying that CAD models, drawings, specifications, and released product data accurately reflect design intent and manufacturing requirements.

Drive product and process improvements that enhance performance, quality, reliability, manufacturability, and cost competitiveness.

Promote continuous improvement through process optimization, waste elimination, and knowledge sharing, while professionally representing the company.

Perform other duties as assigned.
