What You'll Do
As a Product Engineer, you'll play a key role in advancing flight control actuation systems for military aircraft. You'll develop detailed assembly and test instructions, ensuring production teams have clear, actionable guidance. Your work will include creating formal documentation such as Work Instructions, Acceptance Test Procedures, engineering memos, and entries in the Electronic Historical Record system.
You'll support the implementation of production equipment, including test systems, assembly tools, and flow-line setups. A core responsibility is maintaining product integrity through rigorous quality standards and participating in Material Review Board evaluations. You'll also assist in determining whether customer notifications are required due to product deviations.
Collaboration is essential. You'll work closely with internal teams to resolve manufacturing challenges, improve first pass yield, and meet cost and schedule targets. You'll support design updates by redlining drawings, initiating Engineering Change Notices, and participating in Change Review Board meetings. You'll also identify opportunities to enhance producibility and reliability in both design and assembly processes, leading improvements and managing associated timelines.
