About The Position

Do you enjoy collaborating with others to create innovative products and services? As a Manufacturing Engineer III, you will act with minimal supervision to drive the strategic implementation of world-class manufacturing engineering principles. You will lead the Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) strategy for complex aerospace systems and direct the design and implementation of advanced tooling to achieve optimal performance, quality, and cost. The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation, it is a leading prime manned and unmanned aircraft systems integrator for innovative, high-performance ISR and aviation systems. Its end-to-end Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities encompass design, integration, test, certification, ground/flight training and complete logistics support. IAS tailors solutions to customer cost, performance, and schedule requirements and designs to consistently exceed expectations – with an unrivaled record of on time and on (or under) budget deliveries.
