About The Position

We are a national aerospace and defense staffing agency seeking highly qualified candidates for a position with a top-tier client. The role involves participating in program IPTs to integrate technical solutions across engineering disciplines. The Manufacturing Engineer will lead collaboration with Test Project Management, Design Engineering, and Industrial Engineering to develop integrated build plans. This includes developing and maintaining manufacturing plans, BOMs, work instructions, and build documentation. The position requires coordinating with fabrication, procurement, and supplier management to ensure part flow, tracking, and delivery status, as well as tracking part status, shipping, and supplier activities across programs. The engineer will also develop manufacturing engineering processes, tools, and standards for flight test programs, prepare build analyses and cost estimates, and lead the integration of suppliers, materials, processes, and technologies to meet manufacturing requirements. Responsibilities include conducting DFMA and producibility assessments of designs, managing work statements, sequencing, schedules, and build planning to meet cost and delivery targets, and developing and maintaining installation planning, design reviews, and build plan ownership ensuring compliance with design configuration and processes. The role also involves creating work instructions, kitting, tooling, inspection requirements, and fabrication deliverables, as well as drafting and updating processes, procedures, and training materials for engineering teams. The engineer will operate under minimal supervision with full ownership of build plans and ensure all fabrication outputs meet design, test, and program requirements.
