About the Role
The Product Development Engineer (PDE) serves as a manufacturing expert and the focal point for the pre-production Integrated Product Team (IPT). In this capacity, you will interpret engineering prints and develop the process flows necessary to ensure products are manufactured correctly and meet all requirements. You will collaborate closely with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, production planners, and tool designers to bridge the gap between concept and production.
Your journey begins in the early stages of product development, where you will generate process flows and CAD models for intermediate fabrication and production stages. Once these are reviewed, you will partner with planning teams to create detailed routing. As hardware becomes available, you will work directly with manufacturing engineers and operators to prototype and troubleshoot until a production-ready process and configuration successfully passes inspection.
The Product
You will be supporting the Senior Aerospace SSP, focusing on welded sheet metal parts and assemblies. The core of this work involves complex pneumatic high-pressure aerospace ducting. Additionally, the team produces bellows and flexible joint assemblies, machined parts, additively manufactured metal and polymer parts, insulation covers, and small composite parts.
Hiring Process
Candidates are expected to demonstrate expertise in Catia v5 (specifically the FTA workbench) and a deep understanding of GD&T per ASME Y14.5 standards. Proficiency in MS Office, particularly Excel, is required. Experience with manufacturing simulation software is considered a plus.
Culture & Commitment
Engineers are expected to maintain an organized, clean, and safe work area, adhering to all safety standards and quality practices. We are committed to the principles of APQP and AS9100. Senior is an Equal Opportunity Employer and provides reasonable accommodation to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
