Manufacturing Engineering Technical Leader - Small Parts Machining and Tool Design

As Manufacturing Engineering Technical Leader, you will provide the primary technical leadership of Manufacturing Engineering for the Aircraft Group's East Aurora Small parts machining and tool design operations. This leadership is directed to the manufacturing engineering personnel, currently consisting of six Manufacturing Engineers. You will direct the team's daily activity to support the shop areas over which they have been assigned.

In addition, you will be responsible for overall project tracking, metric adherence, skills gap identification and resolution along with coaching and mentoring members of the small parts machining and Tool design manufacturing engineering team. You will be part of the manufacturing engineering leadership team that will help develop and execute future state vision to improve manufacturing processes while meeting or exceeding safety, quality, cost, and delivery goals.

As a technical expert, you will support the process teams helping to solve the most difficult problems associated with the manufacture of parts. These problems may arise for any number of reasons such as tooling, machine tool, gauging, heat-treating, and plating.
