This is not a remote position and will support a weekend shift of Friday through Sunday.

About the role

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will oversee and optimize the production process—from raw materials to finished products—to ensure efficiency and quality. This position supports our Thermal Protection System (TPS) and requires frequent coordination with Planning & Production Control, Quality Engineers, and Operations Leads. You will ensure that manufacturing bills of materials (mBOMs) are up to date, design necessary tooling, document lead times, and ensure work order instructions and proper documentation are in place for floor operations.

Responsibilities

• Implement procedures and techniques to transform raw materials into finished products efficiently and effectively.
• Use MES software (Solumina) to implement, track, monitor, and control manufacturing processes, ensuring quality, efficiency, and compliance.
• Generate and maintain Manufacturing Bill of Materials (mBOMs).
• Create routings in Solumina to account for accurate run times.
• Identify and execute continuous improvement projects.
• Identify and reduce risks in production processes.
• Plan and maintain production flow through the MRP system, including change management and make/buy designation.
• Execute Configuration & Data Management processes and controls for managing and tracking changes.
• Define manufacturing processes, procedures, and production flow for assembly, integration, and test of products.
• Coordinate production workflow for one or multiple projects, organizing and scheduling production activities and resources to meet goals.
• Resolve production-related problems such as configuration changes, engineering changes, material issues, and schedule priorities.
• Oversee and optimize the production process to ensure efficiency and quality.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Quality Assurance, Operations Leads, and Inventory Control.
• Expedite jobs as required and clear material shortages.
• Manage ISO9001/AS9100 processes within the department.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Industrial and Systems Engineering with a minimum of 6 years of applicable experience.
