- Define and review manufacturing routings, work instructions, control plans, and inspection strategies.
- Lead or support process validation activities including FAI, PPAP/industrial qualification, and capability studies.
- Lead manufacturing engineering activities during New Product Introduction (NPI) from prototype through production readiness.
- Support industrialization planning, make/buy decisions, and production ramp-up activities.
- Act as the manufacturing focal point for assigned engine modules or component families.
- Actively support concurrent engineering with design teams to influence part design for manufacturability, quality, and cost.
- Provide manufacturing inputs during design reviews, tolerance definition, material selection, and trade studies.
- Identify and mitigate manufacturing risks early in the development cycle.
- Technically support external suppliers and manufacturing partners.
- Lead supplier process reviews, technical alignment, and improvement initiatives.
Requirements
