Description

Typical Duties

Immediate duties will focus on providing direct support to mechanical assembly operations for a major aerospace assembly by advising the production team, supplementing work instructions and resolving production issues through hands-on support. Over time, this Manufacturing Engineer (colloquially known as a Production Support Engineer) will have a broadened scope to assist in process development, design work-stations/cells; design fixturing, jigs, gages, and tooling. Additionally, this professional may also support the launch of production programs and may advise design engineers on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and other production-related matters. Work environment will be a hybrid between office environment and industrial manufacturing floor. Manufacturing engineers should also have surface-level familiarity with Continuous Improvement / Lean manufacturing principles.

An example of tasking would be as follows:

Production Support Engineer may be asked to clarify print specifications or advise on a process for the production team, amend production documents, and work with the Quality team to disposition components. This engineer may also help develop tooling and fixturing as needed to facilitate assembly operations. This position may also be directly involved in Root Cause Analysis, and Corrective Action development and implementation.

Required Skills** **_(Entry-Level Position)_** **:

+ 1-3 years experience in an industrial assembly operation of large products (preferably “custom” or low-volume / high-mix scaled operations)

+ Experience in technical writing and development of detailed work instructions for assembly and rework operations.

+ Experience using 3D CAD programs _(PTC Creo preferred)_ to create production drawings from model.

+ Familiarity with and ASME Y14-series standards _(including Y14.5 GD&T)_ and experience reading and interpreting assembly drawings.

+ Training or Education in the Design of Tooling, Fixturing, Jigs, and support structures for assembly operations

+ Strong mechanical aptitude and math skills _(linear algebra, geometry, trigonometry)_

+ Must be a US Citizen with ability to pass a criminal background check _(active possession or eligibility to obtain a DoD Secret Clearance preferred)_

Desired Experience & Skills:

+ 1-3 years experience in an industrial metal fabrication environment—including machining of parts from billet, and cutting and forming of sheet metal parts using lasers, press brakes, and stamping presses—and mechanical assembly operations with basic familiarity with metals’ material properties

+ 1-3 years of experience as an engineer in aerospace and/or defense manufacturing environment ( _experience in AS9100 aerospace manufacturing a plus)_

+ Experience using ERP platforms to generate production routings _(SAP S/4HANA preferred)_

+ Experience using PDM suites _(Windchill preferred)_ to manage production process documents

+ Familiarity with National Industry Standards such as ASME, ASTM, SAE standards, and MIL-STDs in regards to fabrication, assembly, and testing procedures and requirements _(Ability to Reference, Interpret, and integrate into detailed work instructions)_

+ Familiarity with electrical and hydraulic systems preferred

+ Ability to lift up to 40 lbs.

Education Requirements:

**BS Required** _(preferred concentrations in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering/Technology)_
