Manufacturing Engineer 3

V2X • Indianapolis, IN

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

This position will provide direct support to assembly operations while also contributing to component-level fabrication. You will work hand-in-hand with design engineers and other cross-functional engineers, program leadership, and the production team to bring concepts to fruition in a very rapid pace and dynamic environment. We operate in a high-mix/low-volume model and field products so rapidly that change and growth are constant. Furthermore, manufacturing engineers will find themselves involved in some projects for which we are the prime design-authority and other projects in which we are a sub-contracted organization. This mix brings a lot of variety to the scope of responsibilities for our manufacturing engineers and our Manufacturing Engineers, referred to internally as Production Support Engineers (PSEs), may be assigned to a projects lasting anywhere from six months to a few years before being re-assigned to new projects. Work environments will be a balance between office and production floor. Travel may occur on occasion (to customer or supplier sites) but are typically T<10%.

Requirements

• 5-8 years of experience as an engineer in general industrial assembly manufacturing
• 3-5+ Years in industrial machining operations or metal fabrication operations (including forming and welding operations)
• Experience in technical writing and development of detailed work instructions for assembly and rework operations.
• Experience using ERP platforms to generate production routings (SAP S/4HANA preferred)
• Experience using 3D CAD programs (PTC Creo preferred) to create production drawings from model.
• Fundamental familiarity with national industrial standards pertaining to engineering, materials, and industrial fabrication and assembly operations. Standards should include ASME, ASTM, SAE, and ISO standards—with special emphasis on ASME Y14-series standards (including Y14.5 GD&T) and experience reading and interpreting assembly drawings.
• Experience Designing/Developing Tooling, Fixturing, Jigs, and support structures for assembly operations
• Strong mechanical aptitude and math skills (linear algebra, trigonometry)
• Must be a US Citizen.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD secret clearance.
• BS Required (preferred concentrations in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering/Technology)

Nice To Haves

• 5-8 years of experience as an engineer in aerospace and/or defense manufacturing environment (experience in AS9100 aerospace manufacturing a plus)
• 3-5+ Years of experience in implementing lean manufacturing principles, Continuous Improvement (CI) activities, developing Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEAs), and Root Cause & Corrective Actions (RCCAs)
• Experience using PDM suites (Windchill preferred) to manage production process documents
• Familiarity with Military standards and technical specifications such as MIL-STDs, MIL-PRFs, MIL-SPECs, FED-STDs, and service specifications such as USAF TOs and NAVAIR Instructions in regards to fabrication, material properties, and testing procedures and requirements
• Familiarity with electrical and hydraulic systems preferred
• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs.

Responsibilities

• Determining production operations required to bring a product to fruition and supporting ongoing process improvement (Continuous Improvement) thereafter.
• Understanding Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA), and being able to infer the design intent from engineering drawings in order to provide the best support to both design engineers and the production team.
• Developing technical work instructions and provide hands-on trouble-shooting with the production team.
• Entering production routings and Bills of Material (BOMs) in an SAP ERP and developing supplemental visual instructions.
• Supporting the development of Process Failure Modes & Effects Analyses (PFMEAs) and Job Hazard Assessments (JHAs).
• Designing fixturing, jigs, and tooling.
• Processing deviations and dispositioning nonconforming material.
• Analyzing processes to determine Root Causes and Corrective Actions.
• Supporting other Continuous Improvement (CI) activities.
