Role Overview

The Onsite Engineer / Coordinator serves as the critical link between the client s engineering team and the offshore delivery team for aerospace structural design projects. This role ensures seamless coordination, compliance with aerospace standards, and timely delivery of high-quality engineering outputs across aircraft programs.

Key Responsibilities

Client Interface & Coordination

Act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for the client s structural engineering team Coordinate daily interactions with client stakeholders (Design, Stress, MRB, Manufacturing teams) Translate client requirements into actionable inputs for offshore teams Participate in technical reviews, design discussions, and program meetings

Structural Design & Analysis Coordination

Coordinate design and development of aircraft structural components (fuselage, wing, empennage, interiors, etc.)

Ensure Compliance With Aerospace Standards Such As

FAR/CS regulations Company-specific design practices (e.g., ABD, BAC, DHC standards)

Review And Validate

2D drawings and 3D models Stress analysis reports Modification packages and concessions Individaully Execute the tasks based on the requirements Support on the Enovia upload/download/ links creation etc.

Tools & PLM Coordination

Work Within Client PLM Systems Such As

CATIA (V5/V6) ENOVIA Teamcenter (if applicable)

Ensure proper data management, version control, and release processes

Support issue resolution related to CAD/PLM workflows

Change Management & MRB Support

Coordinate engineering changes (ECR/ECO) and ensure proper implementation

Disposition of non-conformances (Use-As-Is, Repair, Rework)

Ensure timely closure of design queries and shop floor issues

Manufacturing & Production Support

Interface with manufacturing teams for build issues and design clarifications

Support concession handling and deviation management

Ensure producibility and manufacturability of designs

Project Tracking & Delivery

Track deliverables, schedules, and milestones

Identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks

Provide daily/weekly status reports to stakeholders

Ensure adherence to SLAs and KPIs

Quality & Compliance

Ensure deliverables meet aerospace quality standards

Participate in design reviews, audits, and compliance checks

Maintain documentation traceability and configuration control
