About the role
Role focused on converting legacy technical data into model-based definition (MBD) by hand, validating Hadrian's software outputs, defining workflows, and training team members within a manufacturing context for aerospace/defense applications.
Responsibilities
- Work through customer packages across welding, assembly, NDT, and machining requirements, and author them onto the model as linked MBD.

- Review other engineers' output against the definition standard.

- GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and MBD/PMI to Y14.41, enough to author a definition that manufacturing and inspection can work from directly.
- Experience in Teamcenter or a comparable PLM system, including assembly structure, part numbering, and release workflows.
