Job Description

Pratt & Whitney is seeking an Engineering Lead - Model Based Definition, Manufacture & Inspection (MBDMI). MBDMI involves eliminating 2D drawings and replacing them with a 3D Solid Model as the design authority which contains digitally annotated product information needed for manufacture and inspection.
