  Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.

As new programmes such as an neu fighter Aircraft and Raven storm arise, there is a need to develop not just the actual aircraft, but also the industrial systems to build them, at first as prototypes and later in series. This industrial development effort is conducted in parallel to aircraft development and requires close cooperation between Engineering organizations tasked with the development of the product on the one hand, and industrial disciplines that develop a manufacturing capability on the other.

We are the team that transforms aircraft design into a flying reality. Through close collaborative‑development with aircraft design and other engineering disciplines, Manufacturing Engineering “ME” ensures the manufacturing feasibility OTOCOQ of the new products. We are the link to our internal production departments and external suppliers, enabling the manufacturing of parts, assembly, integration, and testing (“MAIT” system) of new aircraft.

Analyse aircraft designs as they are being developed as well as the underlying development logic. Plan and steer the technical development of the industrial system alongside product development. Drive the execution of an industrial development logic that uses Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL). Progress through the development of manufacturing technologies, production of samples, construction of mock‑ups and prototypes up to series production.

Coordinate industrial disciplines – Detail Part Manufacturing, Assembly, Installations, Test and Jigs & Tools to determine a reliable way of physically implementing a digital aircraft design. The target is to build up a real production capability that meets defined performance targets (e.g. production rate) and adheres to given constraints (e.g. schedule and cost). Bring your insights to the aircraft: support design decisions by showing their impact on production, in order to strike the best trade‑off between performance and cost.
