Job ID: #72487
Pay Range: $65-78 ph (W2)
Duration: 12 mos

Manufacturing Engineers learn production operations and the manufacturing discipline in a controlled environment. They develop manufacturing engineering skills, an understanding of manufacturing (cost, quality, safety, and schedule), and company systems and tools. MEs build technical depth in manufacturing processes and are accountable for improvement and optimization.

Primary responsibilities include developing the comprehensive manufacturing process for 3D metal parts for various radar, integrated sensor, and effector programs. The candidate will create, test, and upgrade Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) programs, develop and document fixturing and setups for CMM inspection, and create inspection plans. They will also assess process failures, disposition non-conforming hardware, and create and execute robust Root Cause/Corrective Action plans to permanently solve problems. This position requires close cooperation with the Operations team and other engineering disciplines. The desired candidate will possess excellent communication skills and be capable of working in a dynamic team environment.

Responsibilities:
• Translate engineering design requirements into formal manufacturing process documentation including CMM programming, inspection planning, finishing requirements, and assembly instructions
• Support process improvements using data analysis, application of best practices, engaging with production personnel, and implementing innovative solutions to improve process capability and decrease cost
• Design, control, and improve the manufacturing process through collaboration with a multi-disciplined team
• Self-manage workload to support existing production, perform non-recurring engineering work for new products, and drive improvement projects to completion.
• Communicate effectively with Engineering and Operations leaders in department to ensure schedule needs are met and where any barriers to progress exist.
• Perform process development on new product introductions with an accelerated time to market
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and document standard methodologies and standard work for CMM and manual inspection operations
• Review metrology and statistical process control (SPC) data to identify and address potential defects before they occur
• Troubleshoot manufacturing issues alongside Quality and Operations personnel and apply CORE/6-sigma methods to determine Root Cause and apply Corrective Actions

Qualifications:
• Typically requires a Bachelor’s Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Aerospace Engineering
• 5+ years of relevant experience in a similar field
• Knowledge of CMM programming and workpiece holding and manual inspection methodology
• 5+ years correctly interpreting engineering drawings, including ASME Y14.5 Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances as well as typical government and industry specifications
• CMM programming experience for complex workpieces typically requiring 4+ axis machining centers
• Demonstrated working knowledge of Creo CAD Software
• Process familiarity with paint, plating, and structural assembly
• Results-oriented focus on past projects to evaluate success
• Demonstrated hands-on mechanical aptitude
• Strong organization skills with ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously
