About the role

Today's aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars.
This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.
It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion.

Create comprehensive work package instructions to translate design concepts into actionable, production-ready processes.
Design efficient guidelines and standards for producibility of the build
Develop and validate manufacturing processes, tooling, and build strategies that enable efficient, repeatable production.
Collaborate with structures and systems engineering to ensure engineering models are designed for manufacturing and fully producible at rate
Leverage kinetic, robotic, and continuous simulations to develop assemblies that are efficient and producible.
Maintain alignment across design, planning, and execution systems (CAD, BOM, BOP) while managing manufacturing impacts of engineering changes.
Design and implement reproducible work center breakdowns to align labor types with specialized tooling and automation requirements.
Define and document all predecessor and successor work packages for each statement of work to ensure seamless production flow.
Apply and interpret GD&T to ensure designs are dimensioned and toleranced for manufacturability, inspection, and assembly alignment.
Develop detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) and Bills of Process (BOPs) to support efficient production operations and streamline manufacturing workflows

experience in early-stage manufacturing program development is highly desirable.
Proficiency with tools and systems such as CAD software (e.g., NX, SolidWorks), MES systems, and PLM platforms (e.g., TeamCenter) to support production planning and execution.
Strong knowledge of enterprise applications such as ERP and MES.
1-2 years of leadership experience either in management or as a technical team leader
1-2 years of new manufacturing program development or capture experience
Familiarity and use of Siemens Suite of Manufacturing tools, specifically TeamCenter, Process Simulate, and NX
Our assessments seek to test the hard skills required to do the job.
