About the Role

Build engineers work with design, tooling, supply chain, and technician teams to execute R&D assemblies on tight deadlines. You will develop the process and tooling to build new structural assemblies, providing design feedback for manufacturability and setting daily goals for technicians.

Responsibilities

Develop and implement the process to build first and early iterations of structures
Design tooling that positions and moves components and controls their temperature as dictated by the process
Review part, assembly, and tool designs and question constraints and complexity
Manage the BOM for complicated assemblies and communicate build dependencies to supply chain
Estimate build timelines and resource demands accurately and report progress
Lead build efforts on the shop floor by receiving and giving feedback to technicians and catching build issues before damage is done
Take responsibility for build quality and evaluate and report damage conscientiously
Iterate during and after each build with new tools, new orders of operations, and modifications to assembly design to reduce build time and increase build quality
Use FMEA & DOE techniques to determine root cause and execute corrective actions of manufacturing process problems, workmanship defects, test failures, etc.
Generate manufacturing assembly documentation to support future builds
Design and implement manufacturing aids to assist with precision locating, drilling, fastening, and bonding of structures

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
2+ years of hands-on engineering experience
Driven to solve hard technical problems with rigor and attention to detail
Clear communicator who actively collaborates across disciplines and knows when to pull in the right expertise
Comfortable fabricating parts, working hands-on with physical assemblies, and troubleshooting in a fast-moving build environment
Strong understanding of composite and machined metallic component manufacturing processes
Proficiency with CAD design tools
Background as a build engineer in an aerospace or large-vehicle environment
Hands-on composites manufacturing experience, including bonding, drilling, and fastening
Ability to operate a manual mill and lathe
Working knowledge of GD&T, metrology tools, and aerospace assembly methods
Familiarity with ASTM, AS/ISO9001, and Type Certification processes
Understanding of design for assembly, rate manufacturing, and mechanics of materials — with the ability to perform and present calculations
Exposure to Mechatronics
Knowledge of aircraft structures, systems, or interiors
