Job Description
Must Have Technical/Functional Skills
- 5+ years' experience in Aerospace and Defense industry
- 7-10 years of manufacturing / production engineering experience, ideally in aerospace or precision manufacturing.
- Expert in 2D drafting and 3D CAD with the proven ability to create and update drawings (shop aids, tooling, and detail drawings).
- 2D drafting & 3D CAD (SOLIDWORKS / ALTIUM / CATIA / Creo / NX /), GD&T, PFMEA templates, VSM / lean toolset, routing & work-order systems (ERP/MES), tooling-design and maintenance-planning tools.
- Practical experience authoring PFMEA, work instructions, routings, and shop-floor documentation.
- Working knowledge of lean tools — Value Stream Mapping, TAKT / cycle-time analysis, and cell-layout optimization.
- Familiarity with tooling design and retro-engineering of legacy parts.
- Comfortable working on the shop floor and collaborating with operators, quality, and the client industrial focal point.
- Experience with aerospace integrated systems that include mechanical, electrical, software integration. Experience with composite material and bonding process a clear plus.
- Exposure to integrating 3D-scanning / reverse-engineering workflows.
- Experience with Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) and first-article inspection.
- Familiarity with AS9100 / aerospace quality systems and packaging specifications for BUY items.
- Familiarity with UAV / unmanned-systems programs.
- Green Belt (Lean / Six Sigma) or equivalent continuous-improvement training.
- Exposure to AS9100 / aerospace quality systems and DFM-driven cost reduction.
- Exposure to Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) a plus Roles & Responsibilities
- Capture the current state: document current operations and work instructions on the shop floor.
- Create the Process FMEA (PFMEA) for the manufacturing process.
- Design new tooling or perform retro-engineering for parts lacking updated definition, and produce a comprehensive tooling maintenance plan.
- Create shop-aid drawings and update / create Work Instructions to bridge the delta from the new design definition (mandatory drawing-update capability).
- Update routing and work orders to reflect the optimized process.
- Calculate and optimize TAKT time and cycle time.
- Perform Value Stream Mapping (VSM).
- Identify bottlenecks, improve cell layouts, and optimize shop-floor flow.
- Create or update the Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) and support testing.
- Define packaging specifications for all BUY items.
- Support the
