## Description

Define manufacturing routes, bills of material, and process flow plans for new Aerospace & Defense products from prototype through production release.

Develop and maintain process documentation, work instructions, control plans, standard work, and related manufacturing records to ensure repeatable, compliant builds.

Collaborate with Project Engineering and Supply Chain to evaluate design-for-manufacturability, optimize build parameters, and scale processes from one-off prototypes to production volumes.

Create and implement process controls that meet customer specifications, quality requirements, and internal performance expectations.

Lead root-cause analysis and continuous improvement projects that reduce lead time, improve quality, lower cost, and expand manufacturing capability.

Major Challenges

Balancing urgent development, customer, and production needs while maintaining focus on long-term process capability and strategic business growth.

Translating demanding customer specifications into stable, efficient, and repeatable manufacturing processes for high-performance Aerospace & Defense applications.

Ensuring manufacturing knowledge, process controls, and documentation transfer cleanly from development teams to production teams.

Expected Performance Outcomes

Create all required manufacturing documentation within two weeks of customer design approval to support timely and accurate product builds.

Transfer 4-6 development projects per year into production on schedule with complete documentation, defined process controls, and clear ownership.

Launch at least two process or product improvement initiatives annually to improve lead time, reduce cost, increase yield, or expand product capability.
