 Verify and annotate all numerical designations and specifications in drawings, using both CAD software and manual calculations when required.

 Lead the design review process to ensure manufacturability, cost efficiency, and compliance with Titan and customer standards.

 Coordinate with suppliers to confirm materials and tolerances prior to production release.

 Support prototype development, testing, and iteration; conduct risk analyses and document feasibility findings.

 Standardize and unify engineering document practices to ensure version control and electronic storage consistency.

Manufacturing & Process Optimization

 Collaborate with manufacturing teams to develop, document, and improve machining and fabrication processes that meet AS9100 and ITAR requirements.

 Create and maintain process routings, work instructions, and tooling plans to support

production efficiency.

 Conduct time studies, fixture/tooling design, and capacity planning to achieve and maintain ≥75% equipment utilization.

 Support CNC programming, tool selection, and setup optimization in partnership with

machinists and operators.

 Analyze production data and process flows to identify bottlenecks and recommend data-driven improvements.

 Evaluate and implement new manufacturing technologies to improve precision, safety, and throughput, with the ability to balance precision and speed under tight deadlines

Cross-Functional & Project Coordination

 Serve as the primary engineering contact for Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain on design

and production-related matters.

 Provide technical support for internal audits, quality investigations, and AS9100 compliance.

 Record and distribute meeting notes, track follow-up actions, and report progress to the

Director of New Product Development.

 Foster an environment of continuous learning, accountability, and technical excellence
