- Validate workflows through field pilots and technician feedback, resolving usability, repeatability, and safety issues before broader deployment.
- Partner with Hardware Engineering, Reliability, Tooling, and Operations to align service processes with aircraft architecture and improve design-for-maintainability.
- Apply lean methods, error-proofing, and automation opportunities to reduce process variation and improve maintenance efficiency.
- Establish process controls for work instructions, visual aids, and process changes so technicians execute current procedures consistently.
- Partner with training leadership to embed approved process changes into technician training materials and execution.
- Define and monitor process KPIs with Data and Reliability, prioritizing corrective actions that improve safety, maintenance quality, technician adoption, and efficiency.
What You'll Bring
- 4-6 years of experience in mechanical or mechatronic design, including translating technical designs into service, maintenance, or operational processes.
- Experience developing, documenting, or validating maintenance workflows or technical procedures with frontline users.
- Ability to investigate process failures, identify root causes, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
- Proficiency with CAD software such as SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar tools.
- Experience applying GD&T and technical drawing best practices.
