• Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays.
• Career Growth Opportunities.

Essential Functions:

• Work directly with mechanics, technicians, and production personnel to identify and resolve manufacturing and assembly issues.
• Improve manufacturing methods, processes, ergonomics, work content, and production flow within assigned manufacturing areas.
• Analyze build sequences and develop practical, efficient, and repeatable manufacturing processes.
• Use CAD models, engineering drawings, and technical documentation to understand design intent and identify opportunities to improve manufacturability.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing drawings, models, work instructions, process documentation, and other manufacturing engineering deliverables.
• Ensure manufacturing changes remain traceable to engineering requirements and maintain required fit, form, function, quality, and configuration control.
• Perform Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis and recommend design or process improvements to improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing issues.
• Develop and present engineering recommendations and design-change proposals to Design Engineering and manufacturing leadership.
• Support initiatives focused on reducing labor hours, production costs, rework, scrap, and manufacturing cycle time.
• Support tooling definition, fixture requirements, process development, and production equipment improvements.
• Assist with ERP and manufacturing system alignment, including eBOM/mBOM reconciliation, routings, work content, and production data.
• Identify root causes of manufacturing problems and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Production, Maintenance, and suppliers to resolve manufacturability and production issues.
• Support supplier manufacturability reviews and resolution of production-related issues.
• Ensure manufacturing processes comply with applicable quality, safety, engineering, and customer requirements.
• Support continuous improvement, Lean Manufacturing, and operational excellence initiatives.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
• 5-7 years of manufacturing engineering experience, preferably in aerospace or complex assembly.
• Strong hands-on understanding of machining, sheet metal, welding, composites, and mechanical or electrical assembly, with depth in at least one area and working knowledge across others.
• Strong CAD proficiency and fluency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, including GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
• Experience with DFM analysis and manufacturing-specific documentation, or strong aptitude and willingness to build this capability.
• Working ERP experience such as Epicor or SAP, including eBOM/mBOM reconciliation and routings.
• Credibility on the shop floor, good judgment, root-cause problem solving, and a track record of following through on assigned work.
