Manufacturing Engineer – Structural Assembly

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• A Manufacturing Engineer is the link between Engineering and Production and has the role of defining and implementing assembly /installation methods to produce complex assemblies and complete aircraft
• Plan and document work instructions to integrate engineering design requirements of structural, system, and experimental components into production in an optimal assembly sequence
• Demonstrated ability using FMEA & DOE techniques to determine root cause and execute corrective actions of manufacturing process problems, workmanship defects, test failures, etc.
• Developing, configuring, and optimizing industrial processes from inception to start-up and certification
• Use of Lean Six Sigma tools to lead development and implementation of Lean Initiative to drive continuous product improvements, integrate automation solutions, and increase yield
• Generate manufacturing assembly documentation and provide direct support of personnel in the day-to-day execution of manufacturing, inspection, and test operations
• Design and implementation of manufacturing aids and tools to assist with precision locating, drilling, and fastening of structures
• Active participation in program scheduling, GEMBA, or other visual representations to coordination production timelines and identify critical path items

Minimum Qualifications we are seeking:

• Strong communication skills (verbal and written)
• Experience working with cross-functional teams (mechanical design, electrical design, software, quality, supply chain, certification, manufacturing)
• Flexibility and comfort in working in a quickly changing environment.
• Direct experience working in a Lean/Manufacturing Engineering position
• Experience with CAD design - 3DX and Delmia preferred
• Experience with ERP system tools – PLEX will be considered an asset
• Willingness to travel domestically or internationally (Canada)

Above and Beyond Qualifications that will distinguish you:

• Experience in a manufacturing environment creating work instructions, leading a manufacturing team, and/or performing production and process planning and troubleshooting
• Knowledgeable with ASTM, AS/ISO9001, and Type Cert Aircraft processes.
• Understanding of design for assembly, lean manufacturing, and capacity planning techniques
• Adept at interpreting and understanding engineering documentation, such as drawings and specifications
• Adept at interpreting and understanding quality documentation and requirements
• Working knowledge of a large variety of materials aluminum, steel, composites, foam, etc. as well as fasteners Cherry Maxibolts, Hi-Lites/Loks, Composi-lok Type 3
• Knowledge of manual/automated drilling techniques, tooling, robotics, and hardware
• Knowledge of aircraft structures, systems, or interiors will be considered an asset
