Co-op: Manufacturing Engineering

About the Role

The primary function of this assignment is to support manufacturing engineering by improving aerospace manufacturing processes through new technologies, lean practices, Six Sigma, fixture design, and documentation. During the first two months, the co‑op will design fixtures and tooling, receive GD&T training, and use 3D modeling software and professional‑grade 3D printers or the in‑house prototype machine shop to create designs that quickly move to production. In the second two months, the co‑op will tackle increasingly complex fixture and tooling designs while receiving lean manufacturing training. Projects will focus on increasing work‑cell throughput, including process documentation and fixturing improvements in collaboration with Lean event teams. During the final two months, the co‑op will be assigned ownership of a product line, working closely with the full‑time Manufacturing Engineer and interfacing with Quality, Operations, Planning, Purchasing, and Design Engineering. This experience prepares the co‑op to independently lead manufacturing engineering efforts for the product line. • Design fixtures and tooling using GD&T and 3D CAD software. • Produce prototypes with professional‑grade 3D printers or the in‑house machine shop. • Document processes and improve fixturing to increase work‑cell throughput. • Participate in lean manufacturing training and improvement events. • Manage an assigned product line, collaborating with Quality, Operations, Planning, Purchasing, and Design Engineering. • Lead manufacturing engineering efforts for the product line by the end of the co‑op.
