Job Information -

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will play a critical role in developing and implementing advanced manufacturing processes to support the creation of innovative products. You will work closely with engineering teams, operate cutting-edge 3D composites processing equipment, and research novel materials and technologies to drive innovation and excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute trial plans to optimize manufacturing processes.
• Create new products using advanced composites, textiles, coatings, foams, and additive manufacturing technologies.
• Provide hands-on support to manufacturing and process engineers by working directly with 3D composites processing equipment.
• Analyze test data from newly developed products and raw materials to inform process improvements.
• Advance Technical Readiness Levels (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL).
• Document processing conditions, test results, and other critical-to-quality (CTQ) data.
• Conduct material characterizations to support Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling.
• Research and evaluate new composite materials and innovative manufacturing processes.
• Develop and maintain work instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as part of the Quality System.

• Software Safety Standards & Requirements

  • Apply software safety standards (e.g., DO-178C, MIL-STD-882, AMCOM 385-17, Joint Software Safety Engineering Handbook) throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Identify hazards and ensure compliance with safety standards from initial concept through qualification testing.

• Civil & Defense Safety Process

  • Demonstrate familiarity with civil safety processes: SAE ARP-4761 and ARP-4754.
  • Demonstrate familiarity with defense safety processes: MIL-STD-882.

• SAE ARP4761 Analyses

  • Aircraft and System Functional Hazard Assessments (AFHA/SFHA)
  • Aircraft and System Safety Assessments (PASA, PSSA, ASA, SSA)
  • Particular Risk Analysis (PRA)
  • Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA)
  • Common Mode Analysis (CMA)

• MIL-STD-882 Analyses

  • Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)
  • Operational & Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA)
  • Health Hazard Analysis (HHA)
  • System/Subsystem Hazard Analysis (SHA/SSHA)
  • Hazardous Materials
  • Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analyses (FMECA)
  • Safety Assessment Report (SAR)

• Model-Based Systems & Safety Analysis

  • Utilize model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and model-based safety analysis (MBSA) principles (experience or training is desired).

• Collaboration & Communication

  • Work with cross-functional teams to resolve complex functional systems issues.
  • Build and maintain effective relationships with internal and external customers.
  • Brief leadership and customers on technical findings and recommendations.

• Aircraft Systems Knowledge

  • Possess technical and functional understanding of aircraft and aircraft systems.
  • Operational understanding of aircraft, aircraft systems, and related support systems is highly desirable.
