The Manufacturing Engineer 3 defines the production process flow and production line structure for design Engineering, Quality Assurance, and Operational Excellence for a program or site. This role optimizes operations by supporting production element mainly through Bill of Materials, Routers, and work instructions. This role also implements manufacturing resource usage for continuous improvement.

Summary of Duties:

1. Provide high level technical deliverables during the manufacturing (production) engineering phase such as production documentation, industrial validation process
2. Provide system level to design engineering to improve product design for ease of manufacturing, optimization of cost, weight reduction and time to manufacture product
3. In product design phase: perform complex high-level technical analysis that demonstrates production constraints and opportunities are recognized and addressed - evaluate the current state of industrial capacity and capability relative to program requirements - propose changes to program plans to ensure that production cost, quality and delivery objectives can be met.
4. Perform identification and justification of capital expense and infrastructure investments and oversee their implementation for a program or site.
5. Review highly complex 2D drawings and 3D models of components and systems for manufacturability.
6. Perform highly-complicated time studies, develop work breakdown structures for entire programs, develop detailed work instructions and collaborate in development of specifications
7. Develop, maintain, and report industrialization metrics in line with Cabin standard KPI's and communicate performance on a regular basis
8. Collaborate with, or lead, other engineering disciplines to provide costing and Bids and Proposals submitted to customers
9. Ensure that Lean principles are used to impact site production performance
10. Validate accurate and complete application of regulatory requirements, customer specifications and company specifications.
11. Apply highly-complex concepts of machining, assembly lines, BOM creation, and production line layout for a program or site
12. Be proficient with most or all manufacturing procedures at a site.
13. Apply complex concepts of engineering drawings and 3D models relating to manufacturability.
14. Proficiency with assembly line layout and design, and composites manufacturing for a site or program.
15. Perform all other duties as assigned.
