Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) designs, develops, and manufactures advanced composite components in order to help our customers push the frontiers of innovation.  Our core strength is our ability to produce highly tailored, complex composite components. With our unique blend of products - including 3D woven structures, traditional and non-traditional 2D composite structures, and discrete through thickness reinforcement technologies, to name a few - AEC is able to produce composite components and products which meet performance and cost specifications often beyond the reach of metallic or conventional laminated composites.

Our composite design and fabrication expertise can be found on many commercial platforms such as Boeing's 7-series family, the Airbus A380 aircraft as well as Sikorsky S-76 helicopter.  For defense programs, AEC provides a wide range of products including complete structural assemblies, flight critical components, primary and secondary structural elements for platforms such as the F-35 Lightning II, the CH-53K Heavy-lift Helicopter and the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).

AEC is committed to delivering high-quality, economical composite solutions to our customers.  Significant investment in infrastructure and automation ensures AEC is positioned to maximize that value, offering the right processes to meet our customer's needs. The Manufacturing Engineer implements and maintains well defined, documented, and controlled manufacturing processes pertaining to the layup, cure, and rework of advanced aerospace composite structures. This engineer is responsible for both manual and automated layup processes across multiple defense and/or commercial programs. Works cooperatively with other teams including operations, quality, planning, and tooling  to support production and optimize the process. Applies theoretical knowledge and engineering techniques to the solution of manufacturing engineering production problems.

Key Duties and Responsibilities: * Maintain current layup, cure, and rework process documentation and manage the changes in Product Data Management (PDM) systems. * Evaluate nonconforming parts and provide dispositions based on customer specifications. * Support root cause and corrective action investigations. * Promptly troubleshoot process stoppages to minimize downtime in Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Automated Tape Layup (ATL), and manual layup work cells. * Identify and implement process improvement opportunities relating to safety, quality, and efficiency. * Create and maintain processes that meet operation's labor and cycle time targets. * Create Compliance Matrices for customer requirements. * Utilize SPC to monitor quality data. * Support the implementation of new processes and automation projects to the manufacturing floor. * Provides technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems Evening Monday - Friday 3:00 pm - 11:3

Experience and Skills: * Minimum 2 years' experience in manufacturing engineering or related discipline. * Experience in developing and maintaining manufacturing processes and basic knowledge of lean manufacturing principles. * Must be able to communicate effectively with technicians, other engineers, and management on technical matters. * Strong computer, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. * Prefer a good understanding of aerospace composites processing. * Prefer composite production experience. *

Minimum Education and Certification Requirements: * BS/BA in Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Equivalent... For full info follow application link.
