This is a fantastic opportunity to join a stand-out aerospace engineering business as a Lead Manufacturing Engineer in the development of aerospace components of a composite nature.
As a Lead Manufacturing Engineer, you'll need to possess both understanding of composites materials and their properties and also have a strong manufacturing background including process and manufacturability improvements.
You'll need to be able to demonstrate key experience composite materials, with experience in carbon composites being highly desirable.
DUTIES - Senior Manufacturing Engineering (Composites)
* Authoring and approving manufacturing processes and process specifications
* Lead on carbon composite and resin transfer molding processes. (Team of 3)
* Be an engaging, supportive and motivational leader to a small but growing team of carbon composite manufacturing engineers.
* Champion and in some cases lead root cause analysis activities across the manufacturing.
* Creating and developing production techniques from raw material to finished product.
* Review and be the responsible approver of manufacturing work instructions.
* Provide training and support to manufacturing operatives to support changes in SOP's
* Establishing control plans and the means for data collection to allow monitoring, gating and analysis of critical input variables at defined control points in the manufacturing process.
* Be a key signatory and approver for business procedures and documentation.
* Actively contribute to the improvements in key manufacturing metrics such as Throughput, Yield, Cycle Time & Defects-Per-Unit.
BACKGROUND - Senior Manufacturing Engineering (Composites)
* Strong backgorund in carbon composite manufacture, resin transfer molding and NDT techniques.
* BSc/MSc/HND (or Level 6 equivalent)
* Experience in a manufacturing or engineering function.
* An understanding of engineering statistics
* Influential to stakeholders at all levels.
* Experience with CAD packages
* Knowledge of 3D printing from CAD and part production.
