- Conducting or participating in the selection, evaluation, qualification, testing, and failure analysis of electrical, electronic, electromechanical, and electro‑optical components.
- Planning, directing, reviewing, and coordinating project documentation to ensure compliance with customer contracts and Lockheed Martin requirements.
- Preparing and maintaining Component Source Control Drawings (SCDs) and other baseline engineering drawings.
- Evaluating suppliers, reviewing test reports, and recommending qualified vendors for EEEE parts.
- Generating, reviewing, and approving Non‑Standard Part Approval Requests (NSPARs) during Parts, Materials, and Process Control Board (PMPCB) meetings.
- Leading or supporting issue resolution on the Parts, Materials, and Process (PMP) board and guiding failure‑analysis activities within the EEEE domain.
- Reviewing and approving engineering drawings, SCDs, and related documentation for subcontractor‑supplied components.
- Maintaining configuration control and ensuring traceability of all component data throughout the product lifecycle.
- Providing technical guidance to cross‑functional teams and subcontractors to achieve seamless integration of approved components.
