Upon entering the detail design phase of all major shipbuilding programmes, there is a requirement for programme-specific parameters to be input and maintained in the systems used to design the product. This has been the case since the early use of CAD on LPD/LPH, Astute, CVF, Dreadnought, and now SSN AUKUS. This has become increasingly critical as we have adopted PLM, and now, with our fully integrated CAD & PLM applications.
The evolution of our organization has resulted in this task being performed and managed across different departments and programmes. Currently, on SSN AUKUS, this is a gap. The proposal is that the Application Configuration team will fill that gap.
It is also recognized that in past programmes, Data Governance activities were introduced only after Data Quality issues impacted the transition to the build stage. Implementing data governance early presents an opportunity to improve overall programme performance.
Application Configuration Team Role
* Responsible for deploying submarine-specific parameters into the toolset configuration to enable proper use and expected data output from CAD & PLM.
* Where direct configuration is not possible, the team will design and seek agreement on change processes with stakeholders to ensure timely updates supporting business operations.
* Responsible for the ongoing upkeep of submarine-specific parameters within the toolset, utilizing new features as they become available.
* Using experience from deploying and maintaining submarine parameters, establish data governance solutions to review, report, and ensure data quality.
Experience with NX and Teamcenter, including configuring these tools to align with OEM standards, is required. Skills in the following are beneficial:
* NX Structure Designer
* NX for Ship Building
* Authoring NX Check-Mate
* NXOpen
* NX Product Template Studio (PTS)
* NX Visual Reporting
* XML coding (for the above)
Ability to train team members in NX and Teamcenter, and liaising with the program delivery team to understand their configuration needs, is essential. Submarine structures design experience is a plus.
