• Collaborate directly with design teams, keeping them informed of manufacturing capabilities and the assembly steps that drive cost
• Develop inventive solutions to complex problems and resolve build issues in real time
• Lead mixed teams through the stand-up and deployment of new manufacturing processes while developing long-term plans to establish future capabilities
• Collaborate with industry experts to identify key technologies and lead initiatives to integrate them into manufacturing workflows
• Maintain clear, organized, and up-to-date documentation

What You Have

• 5 to 10 years of experience in manufacturing (Aerospace preferred)
• Engineering degree or 10+ years of hands-on manufacturing experience
• High proficiency with computers and digital workflow tools
• Familiarity with CAD software; NX and CATIA experience strongly preferred
