Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer

Now Seeking Manufacturing Engineer for Dynamic Aerospace Manufacturer

Position: Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer
Location: Suburban San Antonio, TX (relocation support available)
Please Note: Our client does not sponsor employment visas (e.g., H-1B visa status).
 
Client and Position Summary:
 
Our client is a global, mid-sized, leading manufacturer of advanced composite components and aerostructures for several established and emerging fixed wing, rotor wing, missile, and other related airframe, engine defense, and commercial platforms. Their core strength is their ability to produce highly tailored, complex composite parts and assemblies. Their products enable their customers to use lightweight, high-performance composites in applications where they previously have been restricted due to complex performance or geometry needs.
 
We are searching for two engineers to fill these newly created positions that will support our growing client after new program wins. The primary purpose of these roles will be developing and implementing optimal, cost-effective manufacturing processes and methods following customer specifications and quality standards, recommend and implement improvements to production processes, practices, and controls, and coordinate manufacturing launches for new or revised products.
 
We are searching for Level 2 Engineers, which require 3-6 years of relevant experience, but our client is also open to hiring candidates with less or more experience. These roles report to the Engineering Manager and will join an engineering team that is currently 19 strong. The products the team focuses on are primarily build-to-print complex composite structures. Key customers include GE, Safran, and Rolls-Royce, and the program focus is diversified, approximately 50% commercial and 50% military. This engineering organization has also recently expanded into the Space market and supports Falcon 9 launches for SpaceX. Programs will consist of new product introductions and recurring production. Engineers are assigned programs of responsibility and rotate as the program mix evolves to provide each team member with program diversity and enable healthy team collaboration. The team works hands-on, approximately 50% of the time supporting the manufacturing team on the shop floor and 50% behind a computer.
 
This role includes a competitive salary, an annual bonus program, and full benefits. The position is located north of San Antonio, outside the city's heavy traffic, and in a highly rated school district.

Primary Position Responsibilities:

In performing their respective tasks and duties, all employees must conform to the following values: Safety, Base, Accountable, Respect, Persistence, and Ethical.

The business is fast growing, with ample facility space and capacity planning in place to support the growth. The current PM’s have been with the company for several years, and some including this new hire are more recent employees hired to support their growth and to replace 2 team members who have recently retired. The team is described as tight-knit and supportive of each other. Due to the project-based nature of the work, the environment is fast paced, demanding, and can be stressful for candidates who prefer a more structured steady production type environment. In order to ensure the success of the new hire, during the interview process, candidates who lack direct experience with fast-paced Aerospace Tooling project-based work will be asked to demonstrate similar project work based agility in an environment with similar KPI’s, and asked to clearly convey how they see this expertise successfully transferring into an Aerospace Tooling environment. 

This is an opportunity for a Project Manager interested in leading the “latest and greatest” aerospace development programs, within a small/mid-sized, highly collaborative and growing organization.  The Project Manager will manage a portfolio of capital equipment projects to build the world's aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, rockets) for major aircraft OEM's and their sub-tier suppliers.  Typical projects include design, build and installation of mold tooling for fabricating composite parts, assembly jigs & fixtures, work platforms, automation (such as auto drill / rivet machines), up to and including full assembly line design and build for the aircraft.

They contribute to growing market share by leveraging their performance on existing project with the customer.

Risk and Opportunities:
The PM is responsible for tracking and effectively communicating risks and opportunities on projects. They collaborate with internal and external teams to develop strategies for mitigating risks and capitalizing on opportunities to enhance schedule and profitability. The PM conducts variance analysis with support from the Finance team.

Change Control:
Understanding customer requirements and distinguishing between needs and wants is critical. The PM manages changes in scope by working with appropriate team members. This process includes recognizing changes, preparing change requests, submitting them, and capturing the associated cost and schedule impacts in compliance with the contract. The goal is to generate additional profit for our client while meeting customer needs. Key points of control are during the proposal phase, contract acceptance phase, kick-off, and design phase. The PM negotiates with the customer to finalize changes and capture value for our client.

Leadership:
The PM plays a leadership role in a matrix organization, leading project, and shared resource operation teams to achieve program and organizational goals. They facilitate communication, organization, motivation, and inspiration within internal teams to meet project objectives. Individual accountability is ensured through clear actions and expectations.
