Position Descriptions
Manufacturing and Tooling Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Aero Engineering degrees)
VOL
1 ISSUE
1 Program
Engineers in the discipline of Define/Operations-Integration are primarily assigned to develop
and
coordinate
Manufacturing and Tooling Plans and implement Supply Chain considerations. They are usually assigned these tasks
early in the concept definition phase of a program. They bring their knowledge and skills to the an Integrated Product
Team (IPT) to influence the design such that it is compatible with current manufacturing technologies/capabilities and
can be manufactured with a minimum of engineering changes and achieve an optimum level of quality.
Manufacturing Engineers work alongside IPT team members applying their education, manufacturing process
knowledge, and experience to influence decisions regarding materials, material properties, and early concept definition.
They accomplish this by initiating and analyzing conceptual design and build process options, completing producibility
and variation analysis, and introducing pertinent engineering data that needs to be considered as product definition
matures. A major responsibility of Manufacturing Engineers is creation, coordination, and optimization of the program
architecture for build (manufacturing & tooling plans). Additional job duties include creating & updating Work
Instructions (2D & 3D) for Production, coordinating changes, etc.
Tool Engineers work alongside IPT team members applying their education, tooling & manufacturing process knowledge
and experience to influence decisions regarding materials, material properties, and early concept definition. They
accomplish this by initiating conceptual tool designs that support build process options, by participating in or completing
producibility and variation analysis, as well as introducing pertinent engineering data that needs to be considered as
product definition matures. A major responsibility of Tool Engineers is creation, coordination, and optimization of the
Special Tooling that supports the production build requirements of the manufacturing & tooling plans.
Electrical Engineering (Electrical Engineering Degree)
Diagnostic Engineering is a unique skill set of Electrical / Electronic Engineering where the engineer performs multiple
tasks in order to determine the operational status of various types of electronic equipment. In this position, the engineer
will analyze maintenance/diagnostic data produced by either the Built In Test (BIT) of the avionics itself or the
maintenance data produced by the maintainer while troubleshooting and maintaining avionic equipment. As part of this
process, the Diagnostic Engineer will determine if the diagnostic system is performing as designed or if improvements
are required. Test Equipment Engineering is an Electrical / Electronic skill set whereby the engineer employs their
knowledge of circuit theory and methodologies on how to test that circuit in order to verify the operational status of the
avionic design. In this position, the engineer will work with automatic test equipment and develop test routines to meet
fault detection and component isolation requirements. These positions require proactive individuals to participate on
multi-disciplined teams supporting multiple weapon systems. The job responsibilities include: assist senior engineering
in providing the expertise necessary to specify the requirements and analysis of new and modified weapon systems for
supportability, BIT effectiveness, and Design for Testability. Other responsibilities include: assist senior engineering in
enforcement of diagnostic design, support & testing requirements and customer/supplier design specifications as
required for the subsystem, box, and circuit card levels.
Industrial Engineering (Industrial Engineering, Engineering Management or Mechanical Engineering degrees)
Applies basic Industrial Engineering concepts, techniques, analysis and decision tools to promote and implement
changes in manufacturing, engineering and service operations. Develops models, data bases and spreadsheets to
analyze data (e.g., statistics, operations research, engineering economics), and provide summary analysis and metrics as
directed by higher level employees for consultation to customers (e.g., management, departments, suppliers). Applies
basic industrial engineering techniques and concepts to product and process design teams throughout all phases of
product lifecycle, resulting in a robust product design and work statement that meets program requirements.
Researches, designs, develops, improves and implements processes as directed to enhance schedule performance, lower
cost and improve quality, through the application of Lean and other Industrial Engineering concepts for large-scale
systems integration and asset utilization. Utilizes engineering methods (e.g., mathematical models, simulation, statistics)
to assist in developing optimal process designs and efficient utilization of resources (e.g., facilities, personnel, materials,
equipment) in the creation and validation of products. Analyzes and supports the design of the value stream, including
capability, capacity (e.g., make/buy, supplier selection, risk analysis, supplier performance), throughput, work flow and
logistics (e.g., critical path, lead time, transportation, factory layout).
