Senior Propulsion 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. With a focus on supersonic flight and advanced propulsion systems, the company aims to develop next-generation aircraft that redefine the possibilities of air travel.

Through multi-disciplinary efforts to develop air-breathing engines that facilitate ground take-off and flight at supersonic and hypersonic speeds, they are addressing challenges that very few engineers have the opportunity to solve and doing so at a strategic and rapid pace.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Supporting day-to-day manufacturing and production of the engine and subassemblies which includes but is not limited to: manufacturing processes such as machining, TIG/MIG welding, pressure testing, precision cleaning, additive manufacturing, non-destructive testing, heat treatment, and assembly
Analyze and disposition recurring manufacturing discrepancies and lead multi-disciplinary teams on root cause analysis for corrective actions and mitigations
Leading improvement projects to ensure that safety, reliability, and process capability goals are achieved, maintained, and improved
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 provide subject matter expertise on multiple manufacturing processes and products
Communicate on a daily basis with supporting departments such as production, machining, quality, and design engineering to ensure that the product is delivered on time
Applying 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
You will manage projects and execute to tight timelines while effectively communicating to and influencing stakeholders
You will train technicians, engineers, and leaders on best-in-class operations practices by leading process improvement workshops; providing training and information briefs on key topics; and personally, demonstrating by implementing solutions in the area
You will work with design engineers to evaluate designs for manufacturability and test requirements, then implement in a rapidly evolving production environment
You will ideate and implement tooling and test solutions, enabling high-quality built hardware

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering or a technical discipline
5+ years of experience in aviation or aerospace manufacturing environment
Strong communication skills and ability to read and provide feedback on technical documents
Ability to work overtime and weekends as needed
Will sometimes be working directly with the hardware on the floor and will have to be comfortable stooping, bending, and standing
Ability to make appropriate assumptions and perform trade studies using first principles and engineering fundamentals to create rationale for clear recommendations
Experience with high volume manufacturing, or design for manufacture and product development life cycle, or quality tools including root cause and corrective action, PFMEAs, QMS and process auditing and statistical analysis of quality metrics
Experience with metallic manufacturing techniques and equipment for processes such as CNC fabrication, welding (orbital tube and TIG), precision cleaning, forming, inspection, etc.
Demonstrated experience with CAD and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
Working knowledge of Python or another coding language
Experience in control and monitoring of complex automated systems and risk assessment/reduction of the system

Desired:

Experience in a startup development environment
Experience working in a flight development program
Experience working with Inconel and Titanium
Experience working with 3D printed parts, castings, or forgings
Experience transitioning parts from first article to production
