Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description:

• Manufacturing Engineer role, you will serve as a key execution-focused engineering resource supporting a landing gear Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility.
• The primary emphasis of this position is the execution of large capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects that enhance manufacturing capability, capacity, safety, and productivity.
• You will work closely with operations, quality, facilities, and supply chain teams to deliver equipment installations, process improvements, and infrastructure upgrades that are safe, compliant, and production ready.
• This role also supports repair and overhaul engineering responsibilities that are inherently tied to manufacturing engineering, including development of master manufacturing plans, onboarding of new programs, and direct shop-floor support within a regulated aerospace environment.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and execute large CAPEX projects within a landing gear MRO environment, including equipment selection, layout development, installation, commissioning, and production handover
• Translate business and operational requirements into executable manufacturing solutions that improve safety, quality, cost, delivery, and capacity
• Partner with operations, facilities, EH&S, quality, and supply chain to ensure successful project execution and compliance with regulatory and internal requirements
• Develop, author, and maintain master manufacturing plans (master routers), work instructions, and Bills of Material that define standardized, repeatable repair and overhaul execution
• Support onboarding of new programs into the facility, including creation of master production plans and preparation for introduction into the shop
• Provide hands-on engineering support to the shop floor, including troubleshooting manufacturing processes, tooling, equipment, and test systems involving mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, or control related issues
• Conduct equipment acceptance, process validation, and capability assessments to ensure processes and assets are production-ready
• Review engineering specifications, repair orders, Service Bulletins, Airworthiness Directives, and related technical data to ensure compliance with approved repair and overhaul methods
• Interpret engineering drawings and facilitate creation of new drawings or correction of errors identified during repair and overhaul operations
• Review drawings and technical documentation prepared by other engineering staff
• Liaise with Quality Control, Materials, Production, and other departments to resolve shopfloor technical issues efficiently
• Ensure engineering documentation, drawings, routers, and records remain current and that engineering-related production issues and resolutions are properly documented
• Provide and support training for shop-floor personnel related to new equipment, tooling, processes, and program introductions
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for manufacturing, equipment, or process issues
• Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on throughput, yield, turnaround time, safety, and operational stability

Requirements:

• Develop supplemental documentation required to support shop-floor execution, including procedures, job aids, and supporting technical documentation
• Identify, specify, quote, and procure required tooling and equipment in support of CAPEX projects and new program introductions, including PO issuance, installation, safety reviews, and operator training
• Develop and implement manufacturing processes, tooling concepts, and workflows that support landing gear repair and overhaul operations
