As a process engineer, I take on a wide range of roles to assist in the production of aerospace assemblies. Some of these duties include conducting root cause analysis to solve problems, creating work instructions for assembly and rework of components, performing statistical process control analysis for continuous improvement and tracking trends, supporting operations when needed and developing standards of work. The programs I am involved in include Boeing 737 and 767, Boeing Apache, Bell… Show more As a process engineer, I take on a wide range of roles to assist in the production of aerospace assemblies.
