Structures Manufacturing Engineer

EVONA are working with a pioneering aerospace company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of speed and efficiency in air travel. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative engineering solutions, they are committed to revolutionizing the future of transportation

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Responsible for the build and inspection processes for the structural assembly and testing of primary and secondary structures
• Develop, qualify, and refine manufacturing processes to meet all design and business requirements including safety, quality, efficiency, and delivery and drive continuous improvement across these areas.
• Collaborate with other engineers, subject matter experts, and technicians to solve large-scale production challenges. Provide training to others on operations and process improvement.
• You will resolve product non-conformances and collaborate with the quality team to implement root cause analysis and corrective actions
• You will provide input into the design and development of new and existing hardware and take a lead role in the manufacturing and integration of our current and next-generation vehicles
• You will identify, plan, and execute on capital equipment, machine, and layout upgrades to meet production demand
• You will develop and refine floor layouts, capacity models, and product flow analysis to ensure on-time delivery of the vehicle as a whole
• You will apply process improvement methodologies and tools (e.g. value stream mapping, problem-solving, visual management, etc.) to reduce manufacturing build hours and quality issues; increase production rates; and remove waste from complex processes
• Managing and executing to tight deadlines
• Work with design engineers to evaluate designs for manufacturability and test requirements, then implement them.
• You will ideate and implement tooling and test solutions, enabling high-quality built hardware
