• Confirms all program surface interfaces are "Designed-in-Context" to a coordinated data set including supplier data
• Develops and maintains a coordinated Class A surface database (i.e. Reference Manager)
• Ensures incorporation of appropriated technical, attribute and program requirements into surface whilst maintaining the design vision.
• Drives resolution of surface data issues by leading power wall and digital reviews
• Manages surface changes in SDMS (Surface Data Management system)
• Maintain program product structure and part history in Teamcenter to accurately represent evolution of design and change control
• Supports DTO Supervisor with workload distribution, and prioritization of assignments within Surfacing Team
• Facilitate program surface progression through the K-Loops. Develop and assist (mentor) Class A Surface Designers in the delivery of feasible math surfaces aligned with program milestones requirements that delivers design intent
• During the K-Loops, lead surface development pre-Discovery Complete and post-Discovery Complete lead the incorporation of technical requirements into the surface. On applicable programs, work with Production Studio post K6 to ensure Design vision is maintained through the surface verification process.
