At BAE Systems, we prioritize our customers by our mission of “We Protect Those Who Protect Us®” while offering a flexible work environment that balances work and life. We're seeking a skilled New Product Introduction Engineer to join the CEMA NPI Team supporting programs in southern New Hampshire. This role will guide the transition to production of several exciting new programs in our Advanced Optical Systems (AOS) or Advanced Compact EW Solutions (ACES) product lines. This is a first shift position with flexibility to work a 9/80 (with every other Friday off) OR a 4/10 (Monday through Thursday) schedule. New Product Introduction Engineers deliver expertise in the feasibility of product producibility, manufacturability, affordability, and testability. Throughout the product life cycle, the NPI Engineer will ensure design concepts meet manufacturing capabilities, lead the manufacturing feasibility assessment, create and understand process flow, create and maintain the Design to Unit Production Cost (DTUPC) model, and support transition to production efforts. NPI focuses on design for manufacture (DFM), design for test (DFT), Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, as well as AS9145/APQP product realization activities for new hardware designs. NPI serves as the bridge between engineering, operations and supply chain, to ensure successful product transition to production.
