Production Support Engineer

The Production Support Engineer will join our Hardware Engineering team in Indianapolis, IN.

Typical Duties:

The Production Support Engineer will support the maturation of a hardware integration program and the evolution of associated production processes through development of technical work instructions and hands-on troubleshooting. Engineer will assist in process development and design workstations/cells; design fixturing, jigs, and tooling; develop work instructions, and scale operations based on program needs and evolution. Additionally, this professional may advise design engineers on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and other production-related matters. Work environment will be a hybrid between office environment and industrial manufacturing floor.

An example of tasking would be as follows:

Develop or revise process work instructions based on obstacles encountered during assembly and integration between two major systems. Determine safe mounting procedures to mate two major subsystems. Develop or reorganize assembly workstations based on scale of demand. Design and develop Tooling, Fixturing, and support structures as needed to facilitate assembly operations. Support assembly team when deviations or faults are discovered.

Required Skills (Entry-Level Position):

• Experience in technical writing and development of detailed work instructions for assembly and rework operations.
• Experience using 3D CAD programs (PTC Creo preferred) to create production drawings from model.
• Familiarity with and ASME Y14-series standards (including Y14.5 GD&T) and experience reading and interpreting assembly drawings.
• Training or Education in the Design of Tooling, Fixturing, Jigs, and support structures for assembly operations.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and math skills (linear algebra, geometry, trigonometry).
• Must be a US Citizen with ability to pass a criminal background check (active possession or eligibility to obtain a DoD Secret Clearance preferred).

Desired Experience & Skills:

• 5-10 years of experience as an engineer in aerospace and/or defense manufacturing environment (experience in AS9100 aerospace manufacturing a plus).
• Experience using ERP platforms to generate production routings (SAP S/4HANA preferred).
• Experience using PDM suites (Windchill preferred) to manage production process documents.
• Familiarity with National Industry Standards such as ASME, ASTM, SAE standards, and MIL-STDs in regard to fabrication, assembly, and testing procedures and requirements (Ability to Reference, Interpret, and integrate into detailed work instructions).
• Familiarity with electrical and hydraulic systems preferred.
• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs.

Education Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or above in a STEM-related field of study.
