Position SummaryWe are looking for a
Manufacturing Engineer II/III specializing in quality and process implementation in our Unmanned Arial Systems (UAS) production. The ideal candidate will facilitate quality inspection implementation, standard processes, and proper tooling to meet AS9100/ISO9001 standards.
Key Responsibilities- Process Architecture: Design, implement, and optimize end-to-end manufacturing flows for airframe integration and avionics assembly.
- Quality System Implementation: Lead the deployment of AS9100 or ISO9001 standards on the shop floor. Establish "First Article Inspection" (FAI) protocols for complex electrical assemblies.
- DFM/DFA Leadership: Act as the primary bridge between R&D and Production. Review new designs for manufacturability, focusing on error-proofing (Poka-Yoke) and assembly repeatability.
- Yield Improvement: Monitor production data to identify trends. Reduce variability in harness crimping, soldering, and structural bonding.
- MRB & Root Cause: Lead the Material Review Board (MRB) to find the root cause and implement permanent corrective actions.
- Automation & Tooling: Identify opportunities for automation in testing and assembly to remove human error from critical flight-path components.
Required Qualifications- Education: B.S. in Manufacturing, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering.
- Experience: 2-10 years of experience in a manufacturing environment (Aerospace, Medical Device, or Automotive).
- Quality Toolkit: Strong mastery of PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), Control Plans, and Gauge R&R.
- Technical Literacy: Ability to interpret GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and complex IPC-620 electrical standards.
Preferred Skills- Certified Six Sigma Green or Black Belt.
- Hands-on experience with ERP/MES implementation (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or Plex).
- Prior experience in the UAS/EVTOL industry or with high-voltage battery integration.
