Engineer-Manufacturing 3 (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. The role involves supporting the manufacturing production of composite components and assemblies to ensure timely delivery of products that meet customer expectations. The engineer will analyze engineering designs in a new product introduction process and make recommendations for design improvements. They will develop manufacturing plans, defining sequence of operations, tooling requirements, and quality inspection plans. The position also includes leading continuous/process 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 of the role is working with mechanics throughout the bond process to identify defect contributors, implement corrective actions, and ensure adherence to best practices.

Requirements

Must be a US Citizen or a Permanent Resident (i.e., 'Green Card') per ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) guidelines.
This position is not eligible for Visa sponsorship or a foreign person per ITAR.
Bachelor's in a relevant field (such as mechanical, manufacturing, or aerospace engineering) and 6-9 years of related experience.
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.
A minimum of five years of experience in manufacturing support of aerospace composites fabrication is required.
The candidate will be proficient in the Microsoft Office suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
The individual must be a dedicated and motivated and possess good communication skills with good problem-solving skills.
Experience in planning and manufacturing execution systems within aerospace fields is required.
Requires a thorough knowledge of multiple engineering applications and manufacturing procedures.
Must possess effective communication skills, both written and verbal.
Working knowledge of Process/Product Configuration Control and Change Management.
