Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing Engineer

Exp. required: 5+ Year’s

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

•             5+ years'' experience in Aerospace and Defense industry 

•             7-10 years of manufacturing / production engineering experience, ideally in aerospace or precision manufacturing.

•             Expert in 2D drafting and 3D CAD with the proven ability to create and update drawings (shop aids, tooling, and detail drawings).

•             2D drafting & 3D CAD (SOLIDWORKS / ALTIUM / CATIA / Creo / NX /), GD&T, PFMEA templates, VSM / lean toolset, routing & work-order systems (ERP/MES), tooling-design and maintenance-planning tools.

•             Practical experience authoring PFMEA, work instructions, routings, and shop-floor documentation.

•             Working knowledge of lean tools — Value Stream Mapping, TAKT / cycle-time analysis, and cell-layout optimization.

•             Familiarity with tooling design and retro-engineering of legacy parts.

•             Comfortable working on the shop floor and collaborating with operators, quality, and the client industrial focal point.

•             Experience with aerospace integrated systems that include mechanical, electrical, software integration. Experience with composite material and bonding process a clear plus.

•             Exposure to integrating 3D-scanning / reverse-engineering workflows.

•             Experience with Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) and first-article inspection.

•             Familiarity with AS9100 / aerospace quality systems and packaging specifications for BUY items.

•             Familiarity with UAV / unmanned-systems programs.

•             Green Belt (Lean / Six Sigma) or equivalent continuous-improvement training.

•             Exposure to AS9100 / aerospace quality systems and DFM-driven cost reduction.

•             Exposure to Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) a plus

Roles & Responsibilities

•             Capture the current state: document current operations and work instructions on the shop floor.

•             Create the Process FMEA (PFMEA) for the manufacturing process.

•             Design new tooling or perform retro-engineering for parts lacking updated definition, and produce a comprehensive tooling maintenance plan.

•             Create shop-aid drawings and update / create Work Instructions to bridge the delta from the new design definition (mandatory drawing-update capability).

•             Update routing and work orders to reflect the optimized process.

•             Calculate and optimize TAKT time and cycle time.

•             Perform Value Stream Mapping (VSM).

•             Identify bottlenecks, improve cell layouts, and optimize shop-floor flow.

•             Create or update the Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) and support testing.

•             Define packaging specifications for all BUY items.

•             Support the ENG/ME/QE signature release loop from the manufacturing-engineering side.

•             Work with high performing global delivery teams and service practices with a strong commitment to excellence in pursuit of helping our clients business performance, drive quality in TCS deliverables, and exhibit promptness to internal and external customers
