Job Description

Job Description

What You’ll Do :

Provide leadership and technical direction for all airframe manufacturing processes, including composite layup, bonding, trimming, metallic integration, and assembly sequencing.

Own the full lifecycle of airframe builds—from concept through flight test readiness—partnering closely with design, quality, and certification teams to ensure manufacturability, compliance, and risk mitigation.

Develop and implement tooling strategies and fixtures tailored for prototype builds, balancing precision with practicality in a low-volume, fast-paced environment.

Serve as the go-to expert on the shop floor, leading root cause investigations and executing timely corrective actions to uphold schedule, quality, and structural integrity.

Act as a key liaison between manufacturing, supply chain, and regulatory bodies (e.g., FAA) to ensure all materials, documentation, and processes support certification goals.

Mentor and guide engineers and technicians, championing best practices, creative problem-solving, and a hands-on culture of ownership and accountability.

What You Need :

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering—or equivalent practical experience.

8+ years of experience in aerospace manufacturing with a focus on airframe assembly and composite structures. Experience with prototype or experimental aircraft is highly preferred.

Demonstrated expertise in design for manufacturability (DFM), particularly for complex composite structures and bonded assemblies.

Proficiency in advanced manufacturing tools such as CAD, PLM, and MES systems.

Strong leadership and communication skills, with a proven ability to lead teams and collaborate across engineering, production, and quality functions.

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, iterative development environment, balancing strategic program goals with hands-on execution.
