Aerospace Engineering and Manufacturing

The Manufacturing Process Engineer serves as the technical backbone of the Decks production line owning the documented optimized and continuously improved processes that enable every technician to build with precision and confidence. This role is responsible for creating and maintaining Work Order Templates (WOTs) Standard Work Instructions (SWIs) and all associated build documentation to the highest standards in quality accuracy to design and efficiency.

Working in a hybrid environmentapproximately 5060% engineering workspace and 4050% production floorthe Process ME bridges the gap between design engineering intent and manufacturing execution. This engineer leads Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews identifies design-to-manufacturing gaps during NPI phases and partners with Responsible Engineers to evaluate manufacturability tradeoffs.

Quality ownership is a critical dimension of this role. The Process ME owns Non-Conformance (NC) trend analysis facilitates Leo Quality Review (LQR) meetings and leads root cause investigations using methodologies such as 5-Why Fishbone and 8D to drive systemic corrective actions.

SAP/MES data integrityincluding mBOM accuracy and production versionsfalls within their ownership. The Process ME serves as the primary technical liaison between Process ME and Front Line Support (FLS) functions driving feedback loops between the floor and documentation team to anticipate process risk.

Own and continuously improve WOTs SWIs and process documentation across multiple process areas setting standards and coaching MEs on best practices

Lead DFM reviews for assigned assemblies proactively identifying design-to-manufacturing gaps and driving design changes to resolution

Own NC trend analysis and drive systemic corrective actions using structured root cause methods (5-Why Fishbone 8D) across multiple process areas

Lead line optimization and rate readiness efforts including time studies capacity analyses and labor standard setting for assigned production areas

Own SAP/MES data integrity across multiple process areas and develop floor stock strategies for new builds and rate changes

Serve as primary technical liaison between Process ME and FLS ME functions driving structured feedback loops between the floor and documentation team

Identify propose and execute continuous improvement initiatives including Kaizen events GSE requests and engineering change proposals

Solve complex cross-functional process and quality problems with broad organizational impact independently structuring ambiguous problems into actionable solutions

Communicate complex technical information clearly to diverse audiences and deliver structured presentations at cross-functional forums such as DFM reviews rate readiness briefings and KQR
