Manufacturing Engineer - Structural Assembly - Manufacturing

At Beta Technologies, together we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.

As a Manufacturing Engineer working within the Structural Assembly team, you will be actively participating in product development and design-driven towards lean manufacturing capabilities, assembly flow, maintainability, functional testing, and tooling requirements as well as troubleshooting structures/systems installation on the production line.

• A Manufacturing Engineer is the link between Engineering and Production and has the role of defining and implementing assembly/installation methods to produce complex assemblies and complete aircraft.
• Plan and document work instructions to integrate engineering design requirements of structural, system, and experimental components into production in an optimal assembly sequence.
• Demonstrated ability using FMEA & DOE techniques to determine root cause and execute corrective actions of manufacturing process problems, workmanship defects, test failures, etc.
• Developing, configuring, and optimizing industrial processes from inception to start-up and certification.
• Use of Lean Six Sigma tools to lead development and implementation of Lean Initiative to drive continuous product improvements, integrate automation solutions, and increase yield.
• Generate manufacturing assembly documentation and provide direct support of personnel in the day-to-day execution of manufacturing, inspection, and test operations.
• Design and implementation of manufacturing aids and tools to assist with precision locating, drilling, and fastening of structures.
• Active participation in program scheduling, GEMBA, or other visual representations to coordinate production timelines and identify critical path items.

• Strong communication skills (verbal and written).
• Experience working with cross-functional teams (mechanical design, electrical design, software, quality, supply chain, certification, manufacturing).
• Flexibility and comfort in working in a quickly changing environment.
• Direct experience working in a Lean/Manufacturing Engineering position.
• Experience with CAD design - 3DX and Delmia preferred.
• Experience with ERP system tools – PLEX will be considered an asset.
• Willingness to travel domestically or internationally (Canada).

• Experience in a manufacturing environment creating work instructions, leading a manufacturing team, and/or performing production and process planning and troubleshooting.
• Knowledgeable with ASTM, AS/ISO9001, and Type Cert Aircraft processes.
• Understanding of design for assembly, lean manufacturing, and capacity planning techniques.
• Adept at interpreting and understanding engineering documentation, such as drawings and specifications.
• Adept at interpreting and understanding quality documentation and requirements.
• Working knowledge of a large variety of materials aluminum, steel, composites, foam, etc. as well as fasteners Cherry Maxibolts, Hi-Lites/Loks, Composi-lok Type 3.
• Knowledge of manual/automated drilling techniques, tooling, robotics, and hardware.
• Knowledge of aircraft structures, systems, or interiors will be considered an asset.
