Senior Build Engineer, Airframe Composites Manufacturing

Required

• You're an engineer with a solid understanding of composite materials and manufacturing techniques, able to rapidly develop a manufacturing process from the ground up to turn engineering data into real hardware. You thrive in a hands-on, interdisciplinary environment where seamless collaboration with design, production, quality, supply chain and all other supporting teams is critical to achieving success. You're excited about building an aircraft manufacturing line from scratch and partnering closely with our manufacturing leaders to build a next-generation aircraft factory.
• 7+ years of experience in high variability composite manufacturing, including prototyping and airframe fabrication
• Experience working with composite materials and processes (prepreg layup, wet layup, bonding, curing, trimming, repair, drilling and fastening)
• Experience developing manufacturing processes for complex composite layups and/or aerostructure assemblies from the ground up
• Experience working with metallic airframe components and composite-to-metal interfaces
• Experience building or scaling manufacturing operations, labs, or shops in a development or flight hardware environment
• Experience mentoring and partnering with technicians
• Experience working directly from engineering drawings, ply books, CAD models, and evolving build definitions
• Strong project management skills
• Proficiency in at least one industry standard CAD system, preferably NX
• Demonstrated experience designing and developing composite tools and/or assembly fixtures
• Strong understanding of GD&T
