Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Jet Engine

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Lead manufacturing line design for jet engine subassembly, final assembly, inspection, balancing, and end-of-line testing.
• Translate product requirements and production targets into process flows, assembly sequences, equipment requirements, cycle times, line layouts, and capacity models.
• Develop robust assembly processes for turbomachinery and precision mechanical assemblies, including controlled fastening, joining, bearing installation, fits, clearances, alignment, concentricity, runout, and tolerance…
• Develop tooling, fixtures, gauges, error-proofing, and process controls to reduce assembly variation and operator dependency.
• Develop static and dynamic balancing processes for rotating components and engine subassemblies.
• Develop incoming, in-process, subassembly, and final inspection strategies based on critical-to-quality characteristics and engineering requirements.
• Develop dimensional, leak, pressure, flow, torque, vibration, and functional verification processes.
• Establish manufacturing traceability for critical components, assembly operations, inspection results, balance results, and engine test data.

Job requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, process development, industrialization, or production engineering.
• Experience developing assembly processes for jet engines, gas turbines, turbomachinery, rotating equipment, propulsion systems, or similarly complex mechanical products.
• Strong understanding of precision mechanical assembly including GD&T, tolerance stack-up, fits, clearances, fastening, alignment, concentricity, and runout.
• Hands-on experience with static and/or dynamic balancing of rotating components or assemblies.
• Experience developing inspection methods and manufacturing acceptance criteria.
• Experience with functional or performance testing of engines, turbomachinery, propulsion systems, or complex mechanical products.
• Experience with instrumentation and data acquisition for engineering or production testing.
