Manufacturing Engineer – Aerospace

We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to support the industrialisation of complex aerospace components within a highly regulated manufacturing environment. This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of products from initial design release and costed manufacturing concepts through to the creation of repeatable production processes and manufacturing cells. You will work closely with design, manufacturing, quality and process engineering teams to ensure components are delivered efficiently, safely and to the highest quality standards. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys seeing products progress from drawing to production and wants to play a key role in establishing robust manufacturing solutions for high-tolerance aerospace applications. Key Responsibilities: - Develop and implement manufacturing processes for complex fabricated aerospace components. - Translate engineering drawings and costed concepts into robust, repeatable production methods. - Support the development and optimisation of manufacturing cells and production workflows. - Collaborate with quality teams to support PPAP activities and PFMEA development. - Identify process improvements to enhance efficiency, quality and manufacturability. - Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to support successful product introduction and production ramp-up. Skills & Experience: - Proven manufacturing engineering experience within a precision engineering or advanced manufacturing environment. - Strong background in complex fabrications and sheet metal forming processes. - Experience working with materials such as titanium, nickel alloys or other high-performance metals. - Good understanding of manufacturing methods including forming, welding, heat treatment and fabrication processes. - Experience supporting PPAP activities and working alongside PFMEA teams. - Ability to interpret engineering drawings and drive products from concept through to production. Desirable Skills: - Aerospace manufacturing experience. - Proficiency with CAD software, ideally SolidWorks. - Experience using ERP systems within a manufacturing environment. - Positive, proactive and solution-focused approach. Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant engineering field, or relevant technical military background with equivalent hands-on experience. Security Clearance: Candidates must be willing and eligible to obtain BPSS clearance.
