• Expediting & Supply Chain Coordination
• Monitor and track the status of components, hardware, and materials to ensure on-time delivery for production and engineering programs.
• Coordinate with suppliers, logistics partners, and internal teams to resolve delays, shortages, or disruptions.
• Review purchase orders, bills of material (BOMs), and production schedules to identify risks to program timelines.
• Expedite critical path items and escalate issues that may impact aircraft build schedules, testing, or certification milestones.
• Maintain accurate documentation of order status, delivery forecasts, and supplier communications.
• Technical Liaison Duties
• Serve as a communication bridge between engineering, quality assurance, manufacturing, and external suppliers.
• Interpret and relay engineering drawings, specifications, and change notices (ECNs/ECRs) to ensure supplier understanding and compliance.
• Support resolution of technical issues such as non-conformances, spec deviations, or documentation gaps.
• Participate in technical reviews, supplier meetings, and program status updates.
• Documentation & Compliance
• Ensure all materials and components are accompanied by required aerospace documentation (e.g., Certificates of Conformance, material certs, test reports).
• Track and manage documentation related to engineering changes, supplier corrective actions, and quality notifications.
• Support audits and compliance activities as required.
• Process Improvement & Reporting
• Identify supply chain bottlenecks and propose process improvements to enhance delivery performance.
• Prepare regular status reports for program managers, engineering leads, and supply chain leadership.
