This position is ideal for a mid-level Manufacturing Engineer, NPI Engineer, Process Engineer, Production Support Engineer, Tooling Engineer, or Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer with experience supporting manufacturing builds, updating work instructions, working with CAD drawings, and collaborating directly with design engineering, project engineering, quality, and production teams. The assignment is expected to run for approximately two months, with possible extension based on program needs.

• Support early composite product builds from initial build activity through end-of-build completion.
• Update manufacturing drawings, procedures, work instructions, build documentation, travelers, and production support documentation.
• Work hands-on in a lab, production, or manufacturing floor environment to support build execution and resolve issues as they arise.
• Partner with design engineers, project engineers, manufacturing teams, technicians, quality, and support staff to address process, procedure, tooling, fixture, and build challenges.
• Review and update tooling drawings, fixture drawings, hardware build documentation, and related manufacturing engineering records.
• Assist with fixture builds, hardware builds, production readiness activity, and manufacturing process improvements.
• Identify gaps in documentation, tooling, work instructions, or build flow and help implement practical corrective actions.
• Support engineering change activity, redlines, drawing updates, RCCA, MRB, first article, and production ramp efforts as needed.
• Maintain accurate, clear, and production-ready documentation to support repeatable manufacturing processes.

• 5+ years of hands-on manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, NPI, process engineering, tooling engineering, or production support experience.
• Experience supporting early builds, first-unit builds, NPI, prototype builds, production ramp, or manufacturing readiness activity.
• Hands-on experience creating or updating manufacturing work instructions, procedures, SOPs, travelers, redlined drawings, build documentation, or production support documents.
• Practical experience supporting tooling, fixtures, fixture drawings, hardware builds, or manufacturing equipment used in production.
• CAD experience with SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, or similar 3D CAD tools.
• Ability to work directly with technicians, operators, engineers, and quality teams in a hands-on manufacturing or lab environment.
• Comfortable working fully onsite in Valencia, CA.
• Comfortable with an initial short-term contract assignment.

• Aerospace manufacturing experience.
• Composite product, composite structure, or composite assembly experience.
• Experience with composite layup, bonding, prepreg, resin, wet layup, curing, or composite tooling.
• Background supporting aerospace structures, mechanical assemblies, electromechanical products, production readiness, or regulated manufacturing environments.
• Experience with AS9100, first article inspection, RCCA, MRB, engineering change orders, tolerance stack-up, SPC, CMM inspection, or inspection tool support.
