Senior Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Engineer to work with a small, high-performing team of engineers in the development and continuous improvement of sheet metal forming processes for aerospace components. This role demands a hands-on technical expert with a deep understanding of aerospace manufacturing standards, sheet metal forming methods (e.g., spin forming, draw forming, Hydro Forming), and a proven track record of participating in complex engineering projects from concept through production.

What You'll Do

Leadership & Team Management

• Cooperate with the Engineering Manager, and guide team of engineers (design, tooling and parts manufacturing, quality/process, CNC and Robot programming).
• Execute tasks, delegate, and set priorities to ensure timely and high-quality engineering deliverables.
• Contribute to regular performance evaluations, identify skill gaps, and develop training plans.
• Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Technical Oversight

• Provide guidance on sheet metal forming technologies and process development, document company expertise and know-how.
• Review engineering designs, process documentation, and tooling specifications.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for manufacturing issues.
• Ensure compliance with aerospace industry standards (e.g., AS9100, NADCAP, customer-specific).

Process Improvement & Innovation

• Identify opportunities to improve forming processes, reduce cycle times, and enhance quality.
• Participate in the implementation of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma practices.
• Support automation initiatives, tooling enhancements, and material cost reduction projects.

Customer & Stakeholder Communication

• Serve as technical point of contact for customers on engineering matters.
• Prepare and present technical documentation, reports, and proposals.
• Participate in audits, reviews, and customer meetings as required.

Project Management

• Participate in engineering efforts for new product introductions (NPI), from prototype to production.
• Oversee timeline, cost, and risk management for engineering-related projects in coordination with the Program Managers and Engineering Manager.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Quality, Production, and Supply Chain.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 5-10 years of engineering experience in aerospace manufacturing.
• Strong expertise in sheet metal forming processes and tooling design.
• Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA) and engineering analysis tools.
• Deep knowledge of aerospace industry standards, materials, and specifications.

What We Value

• Familiarity with Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing principles.
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and PLM tools.
• Experience working with OEMs and Tier 1 aerospace suppliers.

• Strong leadership and interpersonal skills.
• Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• Strategic thinking with a hands-on, detail-oriented approach.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills.
