Responsibilities
- Assist Production Engineers with a wide range of operational and project tasks in support of production and process engineering activities.
- Perform initial reviews of part distress modes that fall outside existing approved technical data, ensuring accurate assessment and documentation.
- Disposition parts when distress modes have established precedence, following approved technical guidance and standards.
- Create and draft detailed reports documenting distress modes, findings, and recommendations to support engineering decisions.
- Collect data using Standard Work templates to support requests for new technical data and process approvals.
- Make changes to work instructions under the supervision of a Production Engineer, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and compliance.
- Collaborate with cell personnel to identify process improvements and updates to work instructions that enhance safety, quality, and efficiency.
- Use CAD tools to develop process drawings as required and design simple fixtures as needed to support production and repair activities.
- Handle communications with ASE, CTS, MTU and related teams for new technical data (EA) or technical information requests, ensuring timely and accurate responses.
- Apply released technical data correctly in operations, ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory requirements, including FAA guidelines.
- Assist Operations and Quality in developing process plans and maintaining compliance with internal procedures and external regulations.
- Support daily production activities and small improvement efforts in collaboration with Production, Quality, and Maintenance teams.
- Shadow engineers to learn equipment, systems, and repair processes, building practical knowledge of manufacturing and repair operations.
- Provide basic technical support to inspectors and machine operators as issues arise, helping to resolve technical questions and production challenges.
- Complete export jurisdiction and classification training and apply this knowledge when working with technology subject to export control regulations.
