Process Engineer II

With decades of experience in the aerospace industry, Parker Lord is dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that enhance the safety, performance, and reliability of our products while meeting the stringent requirements of our customers in both commercial and defense markets.

To support our team, the candidate's primary responsibility is to identify and develop the manufacturing process for new aerospace products. This includes the development of new methods and practices for the design, manufacturing, and the supporting tool concepts while utilizing design-to-cost approach.

This role will be embedded within and work closely with Product Engineering to drive design-to-cost actions, enhance designs for manufacturability and ensure the product costs are in line with the project scope. The group works closely with plant quality, manufacturing, and process engineering functions to ensure the product's manufacturing process and production cost targets are achievable at full-production scale.

Key Responsibilities are:

• Promoting a Safety-First workplace, encouraging the identification and closure of opportunities for safety improvements.
• The incumbent will require knowledge of machining and bonding techniques as well as staying current on the latest technologies, products, and services.
• Establish cost estimates for machined, bonded and assembled manufactured products.
• Guide the design and quality engineering teams on GD&T and manufacturing best practices.
• Prodvide feedback to design engineering teams to balance manufacturability and functionality of bonded and assembled products.
• Maintaining frozen planning documentation.
• Embrace LEAN manufacturing principles, participate in LEAN events (Kaizen, Value Streams Mapping, etc.) and focus on continuous improvement
• The incumbent will facilitate documentation over general manufacturing control systems for all aerospace products, subassemblies, and raw materials.
• The incumbent is directly responsible for methods documentation control and flow-down from Customer and Regulatory Agencies for all applicable specifications affecting all Parker-LORD manufacturing and sourcing sites.
• Successfully manage and implement multiple change requests simultaneously to effectively manage queued up requests and the timely completion of all requests as well as service customers expectations for an efficient change process.
• Ownership of raw material, specification flow-down, and production operations documentation included controlled processes and frozen planning controls systems.
• The incumbent will manage the cost estimates, the cost estimation process, supplier quotations all to meet the long-term financial goals of the Product Management.
• Drive and embrace collaboration and partnership with Operations, Quality, Manufacturing and Product
• Maintain a continuous improvement (LEAN) mindset to achieve Zero Defects through product and process robustness.
• Support the NPI production team with implementation of cost reduction initiatives to improve quality, process performance and achieve the product target cost.
• Develop and transition a fully documented, validated, and cost-efficient product/process to full-scale production through cross-functional collaboration and functional ownership.
• Work closely with sourcing, RPM and Tool Room to improve on time delivery performance.
