Bachelor's degree in engineering, mechanical or aerospace preferred
Minimum Experience: 2 yrs
Manufacturing or directing the manufacturing of detail parts, assemblies, and installations to include:
Lead and support manufacturability reviews (DFM/DFA) for detail parts, assemblies, and installations, ensuring designs are optimized for efficient production, cost, quality, and schedule within aircraft interiors and paint processes.
Develop, define, and validate installation and assembly plans for aircraft interior components with a focus on accessibility, sequence optimization, tooling requirements, ergonomic considerations, and in-service maintainability.
Plan and coordinate aircraft paint and finishing processes, including surface preparation, masking strategies, coating application, cure cycles, and rework/repair considerations to support production rate and quality requirements.
Define and document assembly processes for complex aerostructures (both composite and metallic), ensuring compatibility with interior installation sequencing and final paint operations.
Evaluate design configurations for integration risks, including tolerance stack-ups, interface management, and installation constraints across interior systems and painted surfaces.
Proven ability to define small-to-medium complex detail part fabrication, assembly, and installation tooling
2D/3D Drawing reviews and approvals for Engineering designs and specifications to ensure manufacturability of detail parts, assemblies, and installations
CATIA V5/ V6 experience is a plus, experience with computer aided design mandatory.
Extensive knowledge and experience with GD&T; a must
Proven ability to trouble-shoot defects, manufacturing errors, and time consumption/ learning curve issues to improve shop floor performance
Ability to analyze a variety of engineering data to help determine how to meet company objectives
Ability to perform vendor cost analysis versus internal costs to determine best location for manufacturing
Project management experience as a Mfg. Engineer
Should show proven experience with project management in a fast-paced work environment having reported out progress to peers, direct supervision, and upper management with experience in plant floor scheduling, creating project files, Gantt charts, process flow charts, track job progress, resource allocation, etc.
Proven capability to direct the work of other Mfg. Engineers to support the defined build sequence a must.
Individual must be a self-starter able to work under minimal supervision
Experience in an IPT (Integrated Product Team) Member.
Promote and contribute to overall team environment, harmony, etc. is a must
