Overview:
Manufacturing Engineers are the core integrators of the production line-they own the build by defining how the aircraft is assembled on the production floor. They interpret aircraft design requirements, develop manufacturable build plans, and author clear work instructions that guide technicians through each step. Manufacturing Engineers partner closely with cross-functional teams to establish build processes and tooling, while providing hands-on technical support to resolve build issues and nonconformances in real time. We provide innovative and practical technical solutions to complex problems, ensuring each aircraft is built as designed, delivered on schedule, and ready to meet mission needs.
Key Responsibilities:
- Review and interpret aircraft design requirements for manufacturability and translate them into clear, executable manufacturing work instructions.
- Partner with Design Engineering, Production, Tool Design Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Quality to define build processes, incorporate drawing changes, and establish tooling requirements for current and new production.
- Develop, release, and maintain Manufacturing Engineering documentation, including work instructions, visual aids, and Bills of Material.
- Identify and define manufacturing processes and specialty tooling to improve production efficiency, product quality, and operator ergonomics.
- Provide technical liaison support to production personnel, troubleshooting build issues and resolving tooling or process-related problems.
- Develop and deliver process training to production and support personnel to ensure consistent execution of manufacturing methods.
- Support site safety initiatives related to manufacturing processes, tooling, and work instructions.
- Communicate effectively with multiple levels of leadership, customers, and suppliers.
