We are seeking an Associate Manufacturing Engineer to join our Sustainment Manufacturing Engineering Team. This early-career role provides hands-on experience supporting the development, improvement, and control of aerospace manufacturing processes—particularly those involving lamination, metal deposition, coatings, and acrylic-based applications. This is a great opportunity for engineers looking to grow in a fast-paced, highly regulated aerospace environment.

• Support the team with APQP and AS9145 activities.
• Assist in preparing and updating PFMEAs, control plans, and process flow diagrams.
• Help compile First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR) for AS9102 compliance.
• Follow strict clean room protocols where applicable.
• Perform basic SPC data collection and monitoring.

• Assist senior engineers with troubleshooting and process maintenance for lamination processes.
• Support activities involving metal deposition methods such as vacuum metalizing, thermal spray, plating, or additive manufacturing.
• Assist with functional or protective coating processes.
• Support acrylic bonding, forming, or finishing operations.

• Interpret engineering drawings with guidance from senior engineers.
• Support simple tooling updates and CAD modeling (Siemens NX preferred).
• Assist in creating and maintaining work instructions and controlled documents.
• Participate in MRB/PRB investigations and help gather data for nonconformance resolution.
• Support internal/external audits and layered process audits.
• Ensure compliance with AS9100, ISO9001, and site quality procedures.

• Contribute to Lean and shop-floor improvement initiatives.
• Participate in root cause analysis activities such as 8D, 5-Whys, and Fishbone.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support ongoing projects.
• Assist in preparing technical summaries, reports, and presentations.
