    • Value Stream Mapping (VSM)
    • TAKT Time Analysis
    • Cycle Time Optimization
    • Cell Layout Improvements
  • Experience with ERP/MES manufacturing systems.
  • Familiarity with tooling maintenance planning and reverse engineering.
  • Knowledge of Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) and First Article Inspection (FAI).
  • Understanding of AS9100 aerospace quality standards.
  • Experience supporting integrated mechanical, electrical, and software systems.
  • Knowledge of composite materials, bonding processes, and UAV programs is a plus.
  • Exposure to 3D scanning and reverse engineering technologies is preferred.
  • Experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and manufacturing cost reduction initiatives.
  • Exposure to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is desirable.
  • Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent continuous improvement certification is preferred.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with aerospace manufacturing, defense systems, or precision engineering.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in both independent and collaborative environments.
