Manufacturing Engineer – Aerospace Manufacturing | 6-Month Contract
Seattle
6-Month Contract
Aerospace | Advanced Manufacturing | Industrialization
Are you an experienced Industrial Engineer or Manufacturing Engineer looking for a contract where you can make an immediate impact?
We’re supporting a leading aerospace manufacturer in the Seattle area that is investing heavily in its manufacturing capability, and we’re looking for an experienced Industrial Engineer / Manufacturing Engineer to join the team on an initial 6-month contract.
You'll work within a complex aerospace manufacturing environment, helping improve how new and existing products move through production - from manufacturing readiness and process planning through to capacity, flow, cycle-time and production optimization.
What you'll be working on
- Supporting the industrialization and production readiness of aerospace products
- Developing and improving manufacturing processes, routings and operation sequences
- Conducting time studies, cycle-time analysis and labor modelling
- Identifying production constraints and developing capacity and capability plans
- Improving factory layouts, material flow, workstation design and line balancing
- Working with Engineering and Manufacturing teams on DFM/DFA and production planning
- Supporting the introduction of new tooling, equipment, automation and manufacturing technology
- Applying Lean, Kaizen and continuous-improvement methodologies
- Using production data to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste and increase throughput
- Working cross-functionally across Engineering, Operations, Quality and Supply Chain
What we're looking for
You'll ideally have strong experience within aerospace, space, defense or another complex advanced-manufacturing environment, with a background covering areas such as:
Industrial Engineering | Manufacturing Engineering | Industrialization | NPI | Capacity Planning | Time Studies | Line Balancing | Process Flow | Cycle-Time Reduction | DFM/DFA | Lean Manufacturing | Manufacturing Readiness
Experience within composites manufacturing would be particularly valuable, although strong industrial engineering experience from a similarly complex aerospace manufacturing environment is also of interest.
Why consider it?
This isn't a contract where you'll simply maintain existing processes.
You'll be joining a large, technically complex aerospace manufacturing operation with the opportunity to work on real production challenges, manufacturing scale-up and industrialization projects, while having the freedom to make a measurable impact quickly.
If you're an experienced Industrial Engineer who's available immediately or approaching the end of a contract, I'd be very interested in speaking with you.
Apply directly or message me for a confidential discussion.
