About The Position

The Manufacturing Engineer develops and improves manufacturing processes, digital systems, and methods of manufacture to meet requirements for safety, quality, cost, delivery rate, and lead time. The role includes new part introduction from wax tooling through casting development and supports manufacturing and assembly operations using production systems concepts, yield enhancement, and Lean Manufacturing practices. The position is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, follows a 9/80 work schedule, and is full-time. Relocation is available. The engineer ensures processes comply with Health, Safety & Environmental standards and support the Zero Harm program. They help ensure processes sustain design intent and products conform to specifications, while investigating and resolving safety-related issues. The role also promotes zero defects, reduces risk, and supports Right First Time performance in compliance with company, legislative, and technical requirements, including RRMS, SABRe, Export Control, and Intellectual Property requirements. The engineer captures and analyzes data to assess and improve process capability; uses PFMEAs, control plans, and measurement system analysis; develops processes suitable for statistical process control; monitors equipment and tools; initiates corrective actions; and advises engineering on design concepts and specifications that make effective use of manufacturing equipment and techniques. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.

Requirements

U.S. citizenship is required.
One of the following education and experience combinations: an associate degree in STEM or Engineering/Technology and 4+ years in a manufacturing environment; a bachelor's degree in STEM or Engineering/Technology and 2+ years of manufacturing experience; a master's degree in STEM or Engineering/Technology; or a Ph.D. in STEM or Engineering/Technology.

Nice To Haves

General awareness of Manufacturing Systems and enabling software tools relevant to the business.
Understanding of Manufacturing Engineering processes relevant to the role.
Experience in aerospace investment casting and/or single-crystal work.
Experience with investment casting manufacturing processes, materials, tolerances, equipment, or measurement system analysis.
Knowledge of investment casting processes, including tool and die, wax and ceramic injection, rapid prototyping, casting finishing, GD&T, NDE inspection, and dimensional processes.

Responsibilities

Ensure manufacturing processes comply with Health, Safety & Environmental standards and meet Zero Harm program expectations.
Ensure manufacturing processes achieve and sustain design intent, are followed correctly, and produce products conforming to specifications; raise, investigate, and resolve safety-related issues.
Promote a zero-defect culture, reduce risk, and improve Right First Time performance while ensuring compliance with relevant company, legislative, and technical policies and standards, including RRMS, SABRe, Export Control, and Intellectual Property requirements.
Develop, implement, validate, maintain, and continuously improve manufacturing processes, digital systems, and methods of manufacture to meet safety, quality, cost, delivery-rate, and lead-time requirements.
Capture, analyze, and use data to demonstrate and improve current and future manufacturing process capability.
Support new part introduction from wax tooling through casting development.
Use PFMEAs, control plans, and measurement system analysis in manufacturing and assembly areas, applying HPC and production systems concepts, yield enhancement, Lean Manufacturing practices, and continuous improvement as appropriate.
Develop manufacturing and assembly processes suitable for statistical process control and develop related techniques as needed.
Monitor machinery, equipment, and tools to verify efficiency.
Initiate corrective action to address problems and deficiencies and ensure product quality.
Provide engineering guidance on design concepts and specification requirements to optimize the use of equipment and manufacturing or assembly techniques.
