  • Create and maintain assembly-related documents and control data, particularly engine build cards, line and box layouts, assembly accompanying data, and hand-storage and Kanban print data.
  • Analyze and resolve SAP issues and error messages, and provide subject-matter support for work planning, detailed work plans, and relevant SAP transactions.
  • Contribute to digitization and smart factory/MES projects as the representative of assembly requirements and help shape future-ready, end-to-end assembly processes.
