Job Description C-130J Digitization Engineer (Design/Manufacturing/Tooling)
Onsite in Marietta, GA

C-130J Digitization Engineer to support engineering, manufacturing, tooling, and digital transformation activities for the C-130J program. This role provides hands-on technical support involving 3D CAD model validation, engineering drawing revisions, technical inquiry resolution, tooling and production-part scanning, point-cloud data validation, manufacturing engineering, and tool engineering.

Responsibilities:
Review and validate 3D CAD models against 2D engineering drawings, modeling standards, and established engineering requirements using CATIA V5
Identify model discrepancies, document findings, and coordinate required corrections with engineering teams and third-party suppliers
Review and resolve technical inquiries involving engineering drawings, specifications, digital models, tooling, production requirements, and assembly interference/clash analysis
Review and revise 2D engineering drawings using CATIA V5 and CCD, incorporating approved configuration changes and ensuring compliance with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and manufacturing requirements
Coordinate scanning of master control tools, production detail parts, and assemblies and review supplier scanning plans, deliverables, and technical issues
Validate 3D scan and point-cloud data for accuracy, completeness, and conformity with engineering drawings, tooling requirements, and physical configurations
Provide manufacturing and tool engineering support for aircraft structures, fabrication, assembly, tooling, prototypes, and production hardware
Resolve shop-floor engineering issues involving tooling, fabrication, assemblies, drawings, and digital models
Maintain accurate engineering, tooling, scan-data, resource, and labor documentation in support of C-130J program requirements

Qualifications:
Experience reading and interpreting 2D engineering drawings, tooling drawings, parts lists, Bills of Materials (BOM), and manufacturing/design specifications
Proficiency with CATIA V5 and/or 3DEXPERIENCE, including creation and modification of 3D detail-part models and assemblies
Strong knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Experience performing assembly clash, interference, fit, and model-validation analysis
Experience working in an aircraft manufacturing or production environment
Knowledge of aircraft fabrication and assembly processes, including machining, sheet-metal fabrication/forming, welding, and mechanical assembly
Experience designing, evaluating, or updating aircraft tooling, including close-tolerance interfaces, mating features, and critical interchangeable features
Experience with 3D scanning, point-cloud data, dimensional inspection, or validation of digitally scanned parts, assemblies, and tooling
Ability to identify and resolve discrepancies while coordinating effectively with engineering, manufacturing, tooling, production, program leadership, and third-party suppliers

Preferred Qualifications:
Previous C-130 or C-130J program experience
Experience supporting military cargo aircraft or similar large-aircraft manufacturing environments
Experience converting legacy 2D engineering information into model-based or digital engineering environments
Experience coordinating engineering activities with external or third-party suppliers
Experience with digital engineering, product digitization, or model-based engineering initiatives
Experience with Numerical Control (NC) programming or aircraft master/production tooling
