Engineer-Manufacturing 2 (Bond)

Qarbon Aerospace Inc•Red Oak, TX

3d•Onsite

About The Position

This composites Manufacturing Engineering role reports directly to the Red Oak, Texas facility, requiring the candidate to be on site to fulfill the job responsibilities. It involves supporting the manufacturing production of composite components and assemblies to ensure timely delivery of products that meet customer expectations. The role requires developing manufacturing plans, defining sequences of operations, tooling requirements, and quality inspection plans. It also includes participating in and leading continuous improvement initiatives, refining product processes using lean manufacturing principles, and providing day-to-day support to production operators and other functional teams to resolve technical issues and perform root cause corrective action. A key aspect is working with mechanics to identify defect contributors in the bond process and implement corrective actions, ensuring best practices are followed. The role also involves using Lean/Six Sigma tools and Practical Problem-Solving techniques to improve process yield and address non-conformances.

Requirements

Must be a US Citizen or a Permanent Resident per ITAR (i.e., 'Green Card') (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) guidelines.
This position is not eligible for Visa sponsorship or a foreign person per ITAR.
Bachelor of Science in a relevant field (such as mechanical, manufacturing or aerospace engineering).
A minimum of two years of experience in manufacturing support of aerospace composites fabrication is required.
Proficient in the Microsoft Office suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Must be a dedicated and motivated and possess good communication skills with good problem-solving skills.
Requires a thorough knowledge of multiple engineering applications and manufacturing procedures.
Must possess effective communication skills, both written and verbal.

Knowledge of relevant technology is a plus.

Responsibilities

Develop manufacturing plans, defining sequence of operations, tooling requirements and quality inspection plans for the guidance of production workers.
Participate in and lead continuous/process improvement initiatives.
Refine and enhance product processes by applying continuous improvement and key lean manufacturing and production principles and techniques to all areas of production.
Provide day to day support working closely with production operators, supervisors, and other functional teams to resolve technical issues and perform root cause corrective action.
Work with mechanics throughout the bond process to help identify defect contributors and implement corrective action to prevent recurrence of bond defects.
Ensure mechanics are following best practices as well as planning operations throughout the entire bond operations value stream.
Maintain positive team relationships with internal and external customers, as well as co-workers.
Use Lean/Six Sigma Tools to predict and improve process yield. Examples of these tools include Statistical Process Control, Variable Control Matrix, and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.
Utilize Practical Problem-Solving techniques such as A3, 8D, Root Cause Corrective Action, 5 Why, Fishbone Diagrams, and Parato Analysis to determine the origin of a failure, its impact to overall business, and determine containment and countermeasure actions to eliminate recurrence of non-conformances.
