Manufacturing Engineer - Electrical Planner Level 2

Description

You will be the Manufacturing Engineer - Electrical Planner Level 2 for the Electrical Pre‑Planning Team which is responsible for initiating manufacturing planning activities and establishing the foundation for successful product‑interface execution.

As the Manufacturing Engineer - Electrical Planner Level 2 you will be responsible for leading early‑stage planning for new product introductions and translating electrical design requirements into actionable manufacturing plans.

• Lead the early‑stage planning process, defining manufacturing requirements and aligning them with product design.
• Create pre‑plans covering tooling needs, material flow, and labor‑charging requirements to set realistic execution targets.
• Partner with electrical engineering, design engineering, supply‑chain, quality, and production teams to capture interface requirements and close design‑to‑manufacturing gaps.
• Maintain accurate, up‑to‑date planning documentation, work instructions, and best‑practice guidelines in accordance with AMMM standards.
• Provide technical guidance to peers, fostering a collaborative environment that drives high‑quality results.

We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance and overall well‑being, offering flexible scheduling options. We provide resources and give you the flexibility to enable inspiration and focus – if you have the passion and courage to dream big, work hard, and have fun doing what you love then we want to build a better tomorrow with you.

A collaborative, detail‑oriented engineer with a strong grasp of electrical systems and a proven ability to bridge design and manufacturing. You thrive on teamwork, continuous learning, and delivering precise, high‑impact solutions.

• Experience reading, analyzing, and applying blueprints, schematics, and tool design documentation to support manufacturing processes.
• Experience with standard planning workflows, work instructions, and documentation required for fabrication, assembly, and installation activities.
• Experience with common fabrication methods (e.g., machining, welding, additive manufacturing, sheet metal forming, wire harnesses development) and associated procedural controls.
• Experience creating, reviewing, and validating BOMs, ensuring accurate part counts, material specifications, and cost data for downstream activities.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate technical concepts for cross‑functional audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a fast‑paced, team‑oriented environment.
• Able to evaluate engineering change proposals, assess their effect on manufacturability, cost, schedule, and quality, and provide data‑driven recommendations to mitigate risks and optimize production readiness.
• Well‑rounded knowledge of AMMM aircraft, mainly C‑130. F‑22 and F‑16 are a plus.
• Working knowledge of MES and ERP/MRP systems (e.g., Computer Aided Process Planning [CAPP] and Shop Floor Manager [SFM], SAP, Siemens Capital, 3DX DELMIA Apriso).
• Proven track record of driving process improvements that enhance manufacturability and reduce cost.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
