Provide guidance to Engineering regarding design concepts to ensure the best manufacturing technique is being used to meet the Engineering design, participate in tool design reviews to ensure tools are feasible and reduce build times and program costs during assembly, define sequence of operations for product builds, investigate and initiate corrective actions and improvements that involve non-conforming product and identify improvement opportunities in areas that require producibility and affordability initiatives. Provide liaison support for Engineering definition to influence low production costs for integrated assembly related to electrical, hydraulics, fuels, fluids and propulsion systems Manufacturing Engineers for Aeronautics Systems are expected to provide technical solutions to a wide range of complex and difficult problems.

Visually and physically inspect aircraft center fuselage structure, system and electrical installations for conformance to engineering requirements using a variety of precision measurement equipment and inspection tools to include micrometers, calipers, ball gages, flashlights, mirrors, ohm meters, laser gauges and depth gages. Structure inspections include location, gap verification, shim installation, hole drilling, fastener installation, sealing and coatings. System installations include tube, hose, valve, fastener installation, sealing and coatings common to hydraulic, pneumatic and fuel systems. Electrical installations include route, clamping, string tie, connector mating, pin insertion, crimping and coatings.Locate, identify and accurately document nonconforming product/material at time of discovery per applicable procedures. Visually and physically inspect rework and repair for compliance per engineering requirements. Mentor technicians on nonconforming product/material discovered during inspection to include engineering requirements, how to identify the nonconformance and process improvement.Develop, promote, and maintain collaborative team environment with fellow inspectors, support organizations and customers.Work well as part of a team and individually to increase quality, efficiency, effectiveness and affordability through process improvement and other quality control methods.
