Job Description Summary The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will be the hands-on manufacturing lead for complex aerospace components and assemblies for Edison Works Next Generation Products, from concept through full-rate production. The role brings both conventional machining and fabrication knowledge. It shapes producible designs early in the design cycle, develops manufacturing readiness and technology maturity, and moves hardware into robust production processes at internal GE shops and external suppliers that meet safety, quality, delivery and cost goals. This engineer will co-chair producibility reviews for machined, fabricated, welded and assembled hardware. Job Description Roles and Responsibilities Design & NPI Work with Design Engineering to apply "Design for Producibility" to machined parts, fabrications, weldments, tooling and assemblies. Use expertise in conventional machining (turning, milling, drilling, grinding, broaching, shaping, sawing) and fabrication (sheet metal forming, bending and rolling, hydroforming, spinning, stamping, laser and waterjet cutting, welding, brazing, joining and structural assembly) to improve producibility at the conceptual design stage. Review drawings, GD&T, and weld/joint callouts for manufacturability, and recommend design changes that lower cost and risk. Co-chair producibility and design reviews so that manufacturing needs are built into the design. Build technology roadmaps tied to product needs, carry out technology projects, and advance Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) milestones. Manufacturing Readiness & Planning Develop process methods, routers, tooling and fixture concepts, programming needs, and quality and inspection plans for machined and fabricated hardware. Prepare detailed should-cost and lead-time estimates for components, assemblies, fabrications and tooling. Create manufacturing schedules and review supplier routers and process plans. Spot quality, delivery and cost risks early, such as distortion, weld integrity, dimensional conformance, fit-up and machining capability, and put mitigation plans in place. Production Transition & Rate Readiness Work with internal shops and outside suppliers to move from prototype to full-rate production that meets quality and delivery targets. Evaluate and develop suppliers, and support process development, first article and production readiness. Work with Supply Chain from purchase order through milestone planning to hardware delivery. Lead structured problem solving to resolve production issues and reach rate. Leadership & Program Execution Manage integrated schedules, align cross-functional teams, and deliver commitments on time and at cost.
