Lead the strategic dimensional integration of product design and manufacturing processes through established analytical and physical methods to achieve the world’s best vehicle dimensional performance. Work with global Dimensional Engineering partners to develop the strategic dimensional strategies for a given commodity or group of commodities to support global program design and execution. Support program execution with the development of initial product dimensional requirements by integrating product designs with manufacturing processes. Coordinate the dimensional integration activities within and across vehicle subsystems to support program execution. Mentor/support the Product Release community to ensure timely release of dimensional product requirements resulting in the production of the world’s best vehicles.

Key Responsibilities:
• Proactively lead the strategic dimensional integration within and across subsystems, through variation management of product designs and manufacturing processes to achieve vehicle dimensional requirements
• Execute and support Virtual Analysis of product design and manufacturing processes to predict vehicle build variation
• Responsible for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Template Development
• Coordination of Global Strategic Dimensional Product Requirements
• Lead/support Advanced Vehicle Development of Program specific GD&T
• Subject-Matter- Expert (SME) and mentor in the utilization and application of GD&T
• Develop and deploy global dimensional engineering methods, processes, standards, and training
• Responsible to identify and drive dimensional strategies and tolerance allocations to achieve Competitive Best-of-the-Best (CBOB) targets and Dimensional/Vehicle Technical Specifications (DTS/VTS) requirements
• Identify and define the initial dimensional requirements for purchased components and assemblies and document them in the Appendix F7 of the program Statement-of-Requirements (SOR)
• Documentation of In-Plant Assembly Dimensional Requirements to support DTS and functional interfaces (Control Datasets/Drawings)
• Actively supports the program specific datum coordination and verification of Checking Fixture/Gage execution
• Support Vehicle Builds and Issue resolution, as required
