Manufacturing Engineer

Location:Bangalore
Function:Manufacturing Engineering / Supplier Industrialization

What you will do:

TheManufacturing Engineer Supplier Work Transfer will provide technical leadership and hands-on support for transitioning aerospace parts assemblies and processes to qualified suppliers in India.

This role ensures that manufacturing processes are properly transferred validated and sustained to meet aerospace quality performance and compliance standards. The engineer will act as thetechnical bridge between the OEM engineering teams and supplier manufacturing teams ensuring the successful industrialization of transferred components and assemblies.

The position demands a strong foundation in aerospace manufacturing methods process control and problem solving along with the ability to collaborate effectively across global and local teams.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Technical Support for Work Transfer

• Review and interpret technical data packages (TDPs) engineering drawings and specifications for manufacturability.
• Prepare and validate manufacturing process documentation (process flow PFMEA control plans work instructions).
• Support suppliers in replicating or adapting existing manufacturing processes from incumbent facilities to new production locations.
• Validate transferred tooling gauges and fixtures for dimensional accuracy and capability.
• Ensure process qualification and readiness per aerospace standards includingFAI / FAIR PPAP and AS9102documentation.

2. Supplier Process Readiness

• Conduct detailed manufacturing capability and gap assessments at supplier sites.
• Provide on-site technical guidance to suppliers for process setup machining methods heat treatment coating assembly or testing.
• Drive supplier process optimization to ensure stable repeatable and compliant production.
• Coordinate withSupplier QualityTransition Managers andCommodity Engineersto resolve technical or process issues.

3. Process Validation & Qualification

• Lead or support process qualification runs and ensure compliance to AS9100 and customer requirements.
• Validate critical process parameters dimensional conformance and special process certifications (NADCAP if applicable).
• Support troubleshooting of nonconformities and implement corrective actions through structured problem-solving (8D RCA).
• Ensure that all technical deliverables are documented reviewed and approved prior to production release.

4. Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities for process improvement cost reduction and cycle time optimization at supplier sites.
• Capture and share best practices and lessons learned for future work transfers.
• Support digital manufacturing initiatives such as model-based definition (MBD) SPC and process capability analytics.

5. Collaboration & Communication

• Work closely with global engineering operations and supplier quality teams to ensure alignment on design intent manufacturability and quality expectations.
• Serve as the key technical liaison between internal engineering and supplier manufacturing personnel.
• Support transition project reviews status reporting and technical documentation updates.

Qualifications you must have:

• Bachelors degree inMechanical Aerospace Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering.
• 810 yearsof experience in manufacturing engineering process industrialization or supplier technical support in theaerospace or precision manufacturingdomain.
• Strong understanding ofaerospace manufacturing processes such as precision machining sheet metal fabrication special processes (plating heat treatment welding) and assembly.
• Experience withAS9100 NADCAP and related aerospace quality systems.
• Hands-on experience withFAIR PPAP APQP DFMEA PFMEA and Control Planmethodologies.
• Familiarity with GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and ability to interpret complex engineering drawings.
• Proficiency with CAD/CAM tools (e.g. CATIA NX SolidWorks) and statistical tools for process validation (e.g. Minitab Excel).

Qualifications we prefer:

• Certification inLean ManufacturingSix Sigma (Green/Black Belt) orProject Management (PMP).
• Experience supportingwork transfers localization projects or NPIin a global supply chain environment.
• Knowledge ofERP/MES systemsand digital process documentation tools.
• Familiarity withITAR/EARor export-controlled data handling.

Key Skills & Competencies

• Technical Proficiency:Deep understanding of aerospace manufacturing methods process validation and documentation.
• Problem Solving:Strong analytical ability using root cause analysis 8D and structured problem-solving frameworks.
• Supplier Collaboration:Ability to influence and guide supplier technical teams through process readiness and qualification.
• Attention to Detail:Diligent in documentation traceability and compliance to aerospace standards.
• Communication:Clear and concise communication across global and cross-functional teams.
• Ownership & Accountability:Hands-on attitude with a focus on achieving production readiness and process stability.

Performance Indicators (Success Metrics)

• On-time completion of process validation milestones (FAI / PPAP approvals).
• Supplier process capability (Cpk/Ppk) achievement for critical features.
• Number of technical issues closed within defined turnaround time.
• First-pass yield improvement and scrap/rework reduction during ramp-up.
• Stakeholder feedback (supplier and internal engineering teams).

What we offer:

• Be part of aglobally recognized aerospace manufacturerexecuting strategic work transfers to India.
• Opportunity toapply advanced manufacturing engineering skillsin a complex high-precision environment.
• High exposure tocross-functional teams and global leadership offering strong career growth potential.
