Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes and work instructions to improve repeatability, reduce cycle times, and minimize cost.
Interpret engineering drawings, 3D models, and specifications to develop accurate build processes.
Collaborate with machining, fabrication, and assembly teams — including programming, setup, and operator training — to ensure processes are robust and capable.
Support first article builds and collaborates with engineering to resolve manufacturability issues.
Drive cost-reduction initiatives through process improvement, material usage optimization, scrap/rework reduction, and efficient tooling design.
Lead root-cause investigations for manufacturing quality issues (yield losses, scrap, rework, non-conformances) in machining, sheet-metal fabrication, and assembly.
Work directly with aerospace customers (internal or external) on quality and technical issues: respond to customer Q & NCRs, support customer audits and reviews, lead corrective/preventive actions (CAPAs), ensure customer requirements and specifications are met.
Participate in continuous improvement programs (Lean, 5S, Six Sigma) and lead small projects to improve process flow, reduce waste, and enhance safety and ergonomics.
