The person will play a key role in data tracking, impact analysis, process optimization, and coordination with various teams to ensure information reliability and compliance with deadlines.

Main Responsibilities

Signal Management and Integrity

• Ensure the rigorous and timely integration and updating of manufacturing signals in the systems.


• Continuously validate the accuracy of integrated signals and correct discrepancies at the source.


• Ensure data consistency across systems (ERP, planning, purchasing & engineering).


• Identify anomalies, understand their root cause, and trigger corrective actions.

Control

• Hold responsibility for entering, maintaining, and protecting key dates.


• Control and arbitrate any date changes to avoid unvalidated or unjustified modifications.


• Guarantee date alignment between signals, the master plan, and execution schedules.


• Ensure traceability of date changes and communicate impacts to stakeholders.

Impact Analysis

• Evaluate the impact of date signal changes on the production plan, capacity, and schedules.


• Translate signal changes into concrete implications for planning and execution teams.


• Work with planners to provide data-driven recommendations for prioritization and arbitration.

Specific Signal Management

• Perform BOM "Bill of Materials" ordering: enter and validate order signals and ensure tracking.

• Contribute to the automation and reliability of data flows.


• Propose and drive automation initiatives (automated queries, smart alerts, dashboards) to reduce manual tasks and gain reliability.


• Act as the team's digital innovation engine by identifying opportunities for simplification and process optimization.


• Be part of CAE's transformation and apply new concepts impacting signals such as the integration of an MBOM "Manufacturing Bill of Materials" & others.

Desired Profile

• Bachelor's degree, ideally in engineering or administration.


• 3 to 5 years of relevant experience.


• Strong analytical skills, rigor, and attention to detail.


• Strong team spirit and good interpersonal skills.
