PDG Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• 
  Design Checking, Validation & Product Definition Leadership

• Perform rigorous checks of 3D models, 2D drawings, and associated documentation for Gas Turbine components and assemblies.

• Ensure compliance with design standards, GD&T practices, configuration rules, and manufacturing feasibility.

• Validate BOM structures, material specifications, and drawing annotations for completeness and accuracy.

• Lead the creation and validation of 3D models, 2D drawings, and digital twins using advanced CAD tools.

• Ensure design intent is accurately captured and aligned with performance, manufacturability, and serviceability goals.

• Standards & Technical Governance

• Define and uphold best practices for product definition, including modelling conventions, drawing quality, configuration control, and release protocols.

• Maintain alignment with internal and industry standards (e.g., ASME Y14.5, aerospace regulatory requirements).

• Drive consistency across engineering teams through standardized templates, checklists, and review processes.

• Review and approve engineering deliverables including design documentation, BOMs, and change notices.

• Collaboration

• Work closely with design engineers, manufacturing, sourcing, repair and quality teams to resolve discrepancies and improve product definition robustness.

• Seek feedback from Senior engineers on design quality and documentation discipline.

• Lead peer reviews and design audits to ensure cross-functional alignment and technical rigor.

• Support design reviews, DFMEA sessions, and supplier technical engagements.

• Mentor junior engineers and drive skill development in CAD, GD&T, and PLM systems.

• Tools & Systems

• Utilize advanced CAD tools (e.g., Siemens NX, CATIA) and PLM platforms (e.g., Teamcenter, Windchill) for design validation and release.

• Support digital engineering initiatives including model-based definition and automated checking tools.

• Leverage PLM platforms for configuration management, release workflows, and traceability.

• Contribute to tool enhancement and process automation to streamline checking workflows.
