Responsibilities
Proactively Identify Obsolescence Risks: Continuously mine supplier forecasts, SCN/CSDT/ELR data, OCMS/OB2 inputs, and other sources to surface part, chemical, and material end-of-life threats that could impact Spares or fleet support
Assess Technical Impact and Risk: Evaluate form, fit, function, safety, and regulatory implications of obsolescence cases and quantify program exposure to prioritize mitigation actions
Develop Mitigation Strategies: Create practical mitigation options (last-time buys, alternate suppliers, licensed manufacturers, part requalification, redesign) and define implementation plans with timelines and success criteria
Manage Execution of Mitigations: Coordinate engineering, procurement, and supplier activities to implement mitigation plans, track progress in the canonical repository (BORIS/OCMS/OB2), and validate closure
Lead Supplier Engagement and Validation: Serve as the engineering point of contact for suppliers—validate supplier submittals, conduct technical assessments, and drive pre coordination to reduce late notifications
Translate Chemical/Regulatory Changes to Part Impact: Collaborate with CMRM and spec custodians to map regulatory material changes to affected parts/SCDs and define required engineering responses
Drive Cross Functional Deep Dives: Facilitate multi discipline investigations for high risk items, convening BR&T/CMRM, structures, systems, flammability, and procurement to converge on solutions
Produce Clear Technical Documentation: Create concise case files, risk assessments, mitigation plans, test plans, RACI matrices, and decision packages to enable reproducible execution and auditability
Integrate into Operating Rhythm: Prepare and present technical recommendations, status updates, and decision packages at daily/weekly/monthly risk boards and program reviews to enable timely leadership decisions
Improve Tools and Automation Opportunities: Identify tooling gaps, capture requirements for OCMS/OB2/Compass integrations, and propose automation to improve triage, reporting, and scalability
Mentor and Knowledge Transfer: Coach PAs, SCEs, MEs, and DEs on obsolescence evaluation techniques, tooling, and best practices to raise organizational capability
Support Continuous Improvement: Track KPIs, analyze root causes of recurring obsolescence events, and lead process improvements to reduce future obsolescence impact on production and customers
Ability to work on site 5 days per week
May be asked to support other programs or perform other duties as needed
