Job description

V.P DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING (DFM)-AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE:

Bullisher is a data centric fintech Solution provider in the aerospace and defense industry for institutional level investors, looking to disrupt and revolutionise a $3 trillion dollar industry. We spearhead an industrial-leading Blackbox to facilitate and administer trade agreements pioneered by a vehicle, driven by our new generation benchmark delivering solutions through innovation with uncompromising agility. Predicts trends in the aerospace and government defense entities, predicts trends in political shifts and the ability to influence actual effect changes in government policies through innovation.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

The oversight involves a superpower complex electronic design development platform for real-time data sharing and integrated platforms, facilitating seamless communication for collaborative complex designs with team members gathered across different environments. With our centralized platform sharing design updates and feedback, data security and compliance with ITAR [International Trafficking in Arms Regulations] are critical to sharing sensitive design data with the manufacturing team while minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to our intellectual properties. Integration will be critical. Our perceived approach is whether it’s prototypes or scheduled ongoing production, all that will be visible in real-time. Procurement teams and engineers can gain clarity around exactly what’s going on down to the level of parts being procured, boards being produced, and shipped out. This is a very critical piece of information, therefore staying on top of the single source of truth is essential. You will run an entire hardware development process on one digital platform capturing the requirements, working with the same data model, and collaborating with the procurement team. Any changes to the design will undergo a formal approval, review, and be voted on by representatives for security impact analysis, THE C.A.B (CHANGE APPROVAL BOARD). Our posture is not just offensive; it’s an economic and livelihood posture to influence ongoing projections. For new design starts, as we transition from prototype to production, you will define alternatives for cost, materials that are available, and whether the design is manufacturable with the yield that we are looking for. Within our Data Matchmaking instant Artificial Intelligence platform, accurate pricing optimization and real-time versioning (e.g., change control; who designed it, when was it designed) accelerate time-to-market. Our seamless process allows engineers to engage in the early phases of the design, iterating through the design cycle, capturing changes, and getting real-time feedback with high levels of detail. Generate detailed design information and hand that over to the procurement teams within the platform, collaborating with each other and interacting with all participating engineers and the manufacturing pipeline to capture the nuances and design documentation necessary for fabricators, thereby closing the loops.

You will also be micromanaging the control system design engineers, system architects, optical engineers, lead hardware design engineers, EDA engineers, NPI engineers, and CAD engineers. We are a startup enhancing the formation to the early stages of a product development project.

ENVIRONMENT: This position will operate in the regulatory engineering division of the organization.
