Job description

Let's Talk About Your Future Mission

Within the manufacturing engineering team, the main missions are to:

• Drive product/reference/process evolutions as well as the development of new products.
• Build and define a dematerialized manufacturing range and the monitoring plan in accordance with the definition or reference for products manufactured at the Mirabel site or new products.
• Ensure the manufacturability and reparability of the product with the required robustness while respecting SSE constraints and QCDRS objectives.
• Ensure technological monitoring and the development of the machining methods profession.
• Support production by providing expertise in the scope.
• Capitalize, standardize, share, and transmit skills.

The Main Responsibilities Are

• Manage industrialization projects:
• Lead the industrialization team to meet the program requirements outlined during the industrialization mandate.
• Manage risks and opportunities of its industrialization by applying the APQP standard.
• Ensure the passage of industrialization milestones.
• Ensure and validate the constitution of the Industrial Validation File (PPAP).
• Participate in collaborative engineering (Co-engineering) to ensure QCD objectives are met and to ensure the manufacturability/reparability and controllability of products.
• Ensure the consistency of the control plan with the technical team and optimize it post milestone I3.
• Participate in external industrializations.
• Develop and prepare a manufacturing range:
• Design, maintain, and optimize dematerialized manufacturing ranges, inspection drawings, and associated monitoring plans for existing and new products.
• Define FTA (Functional Tolerancing and annotation) and inspection plans (WPI: Working Plan Inspection).
• Analyze definition elements and verify manufacturability.
• Define key characteristics of the process and manufacturing.
• Participate in the development of 3D models (Stage Models) with the person responsible for this activity.
• Analyze failure modes and risks associated with the range.
• Lead and/or participate in PFMEA (FMEA).
• Propose product evolutions/process improvement axes.
• Prepare for the future, manage development projects (R&T and R&D):
• Support the implementation of industrializations and innovative/complex processes, which are not mature
• Participate in the maturity ramp-up process for innovative products or processes
• Lead the capitalization of knowledge around technical processes, ensuring technological monitoring.
• Assist the director in determining future needs in terms of 5-year capex plan (MTP), operating budgets, and new technologies and/or techniques
• Establish cost estimates (recurring and non-recurring) for products/projects.
