Engineer Engineering Standards and Tools

Essential Responsibilities ========================== Global Standards & Procedures ----------------------------- * Collaborate with Engineering subject matter experts and cross-functional stakeholders globally to establish item/BOM and document standards that ensure consistency and effective communication of engineering design information delivered through items, BOMs, and related documentation to internal and external customers. * Develop, document, implement, and maintain global engineering standards, procedures, and data governance practices. Data Structuring, Part Classification & Technical Data Preparation ------------------------------------------------------------------ * Lead coordination with external partners on technical data transformation activities, including planning, progress tracking, issue resolution, and overall support. * Manage assigned projects and initiatives from planning through completion. * Drive the development and continuous improvement of item/BOM, document, and part classification standards to enhance the consistency, usability, and governance of engineering data. * Use data analysis to identify improvement opportunities in classification logic, attribute definitions, legal value lists, deduplication, and the creation of trusted engineering records. * Lead data cleansing, enrichment, consolidation, and deduplication efforts to improve data quality and establish a reliable golden record. * Provide expert guidance on part classification and data structuring in accordance with international standards and internal governance requirements, ensuring consistent, accurate, high-quality, and well-structured engineering data across the organization. * Establish and govern global parts libraries, including CAD/item relationship, to support part reuse, standardized item creation, and supply chain needs. * Define, maintain, and govern material, quality, and process requirement libraries to ensure alignment and consistency across engineering systems. Cross-Functional Collaboration ------------------------------ * Collaborate with engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders globally to align on standards, workflows, and engineering data requirements, resolve issues, and drive adoption. * Provide responsive, customer-focused support to internal and external stakeholders while fostering effective communication and collaboration across engineering teams and cross-functional partners. Data Integrity & Quality Control -------------------------------- * Maintain high levels of data integrity through regular audits, data validation, and quality checks to ensure accuracy and compliance with established standards. * Analyze engineering and technical data to identify patterns, inconsistencies, root causes, and opportunities to improve data quality, governance, standardization, and part reuse. Reporting & Documentation ------------------------- * Prepare and present reports on findings, trends, and key metrics to stakeholders. * Ensure clear and consistent documentation of data structures, classifications, standards, and methodologies to support compliance, transparency, and effective knowledge sharing. Change Management ----------------- * Act as an effective change agent, driving adoption and long-term acceptance of company-wide engineering standards, practices, and procedures.
