Industrial Method Engineer

Objective

Within the Engineering & Industrialization Department, you will be the Industrial Method Engineer leading on the deployment of new product capabilities and industrial means for MRO or production activities in a regulated aviation environment.This includes capability development from feasibility to Entry Into Service (EIS), coordination with Central Engineering, process design and validation, equipment deployment, business case preparation and ensuring long-term industrial compliance and robustness

Job Responsibilities:

1. Technical Data, Capability Readiness & Regulatory Compliance

• Lead industrialisation from feasibility evaluation to operational go-live.
• Liaise with Central Engineering to align industrialisation milestones, deliverables, validation requirements and technology standards.
• Review CMMs, OEM data, capability requirements, PNs and regulatory considerations to ensure capability readiness.
• Ensure compliance with MOE, Part-145 SMS, HF, HSE and aviation regulatory frameworks.
• Manage and coordinate controlled engineering documents including TCNs, MDI/MDR, NCRs and method change records.

2. Process Design, Validation & Documentation Control

• Develop compliant, safe and efficient industrial processes, routings and layouts.
• Conduct industrial validation including trials, capability studies and First Article Inspection (FAI).
• Create and maintain MBOMs, routings, standard work instructions, process sheets, layout documents and specifications.
• Ensure configuration control of all industrial data and proper change governance for tooling, process and documentation updates.
• Incorporate TCN/MDI/MDR-driven changes into industrial documentation.

3. Technology, Equipment & Tooling Deployment

• Specify, validate and support procurement of test benches, tooling, fixtures and industrial equipment.
• Coordinate installation, commissioning, qualification and risk assessments for new industrial means.
• Provide technical input for TPM and predictive maintenance assessments.
• Introduce digital tools, automation and advanced inspection technologies to strengthen manufacturing capability.
• Implement TCN impacts affecting tooling, equipment configuration or industrial layout.

4. Continuous Improvement & Method Harmonisation

• Participate in Lean, QRQC, 8D investigations and standardisation initiatives to enhance flow, process stability and ergonomics.
• Improve documentation quality, industrial clarity, repeatability and operational efficiency.
• Benchmark with other Safran sites to adopt best practices and harmonise industrialisation approaches.
• Analyse MDI/MDR trends to identify method gaps and drive documentation or process improvements.
• Ensure continuous improvement actions comply with MOE, SMS, HSE and regulatory requirements.

5. Business Case, Feasibility & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Develop business cases for new capabilities, capital equipment and process upgrades.
• Perform ROI calculations, cost–benefit analysis, risk assessments and feasibility studies.
• Present proposals and financial justifications to the Head Of Production.
• Ensure industrialisation decisions support long-term capability growth, strategic alignment and compliance expectations.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline..
• 2-3 years of experience in industrialisation, methods engineering, process engineering, capability development or equivalent roles in aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of Part-145, industrial readiness, SMS, HF, HSE and process qualification/validation expectations.
• Experience in developing industrial processes, routings (MBOM), layouts, work instructions and associated industrial documentation.
• Practical experience with process validation, capability studies, First Article Inspection (FAI) and qualification activities.
• Familiarity with managing controlled engineering documents such as TCNs, MDI/MDR and NCR, including industrial change governance.
• Hands-on experience specifying and validating tooling, fixtures, test benches, industrial equipment, and supporting commissioning and qualification.
• Working knowledge of Lean and continuous improvement tools including QRQC, 8D, Kaizen and process optimization methodologies.
• Strong technical communication, project coordination and presentation skills with the ability to work across Production, Quality, Supply Chain, HSE and Central Engineering.
• Ability to develop business cases, ROI analyses, feasibility studies and justify industrial investments or capability deployment.
