• Leading root cause investigations and implementing corrective and preventive actions to improve product quality, yield, and manufacturability.

• Supporting the disposition of manufacturing nonconformances in partnership with Quality Engineering and cross-functional teams.

• Developing, reviewing, and maintaining manufacturing documentation including work instructions, process procedures, travelers, and tooling documentation.

• Supporting First Article Inspections (FAI), Production Process Validations (PPV), qualification builds, and engineering builds.

• Coordinating and implementing process changes through engineering change processes, including manufacturing documentation updates and process improvements.

• Supporting equipment qualification, preventive maintenance, calibration activities, troubleshooting, and interaction with equipment suppliers and field service engineers.

• Analyzing manufacturing data and trends to identify opportunities for yield improvement, defect reduction, and process optimization.

• Supporting transition of new products from development into production and sustaining existing products.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure on-time delivery of quality products supporting the Warfighter.

Required Education, Experience, & Skills

• Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalant and 2 years experience

• Ensure the manufacturing producibility of aerospace hardware, by guiding the program manufacturing team in the development and implementation of improvements in methods, tooling, and procedures to meet contract/schedule/quality requirements.

• Provide hands-on hardware manufacturing support.

• Support the execution of manufacturing build plans that meet program schedule milestones.

• Lead in the creation and analysis of statistical data to identify trends in hardware anomalies to identify actionable trends and improvement opportunities.

• Assume ownership for the proper and timely disposition of program hardware anomalies.

• Actively supports and participates in the applications of LEAN Manufacturing/Six Sigma principals and projects including 7S efforts.

• Participate in the creation and implementation of necessary process and program metrics to understand the health of assigned programs while providing a baseline for continuous improvement.

Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills

• Familiarity with Lean Six Sigma.

• Experience supporting semiconductor, wafer fabrication, microelectronics, or RF/microwave manufacturing.

• Experience with wafer processing, die handling, assembly, inspection, or related semiconductor manufacturing processes.

• Experience supporting First Article Inspection (FAI), Production Process Validation (PPV), and qualification activities.

• Experience with root cause analysis, corrective action implementation, and yield improvement initiatives.

• Experience supporting equipment installation, qualification, troubleshooting, and maintenance activities.

• Experience with manufacturing systems such as SAP, PROMIS, Paperless Manufacturing, or similar MES/ERP systems.

• Experience with statistical analysis tools such as Minitab or equivalent.

• Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing standards including MIL-STD-883, J-STD-001,or equivalent workmanship requirements.

• Experience with 3D modeling software such as Creo Parametric, SolidWorks, or equivalent.

• Ability to research and apply engineering principles to solve complex manufacturing problems.

• Ability to support products from transition to production through sustainment.

• Motivated self-starter with ability to effectively work in a team environment.

• Demonstrated ownership of assigned tasks and ability to drive issues to closure.
