Job summary

Parker Meggitt, based at Ansty Park, seeks a Manufacturing Engineer to own and continually improve manufacturing methods for safe, cost-efficient aerospace production. You will design processes, tooling, routings, and BOMs, while collaborating with design, quality, and supply chain to reduce costs and ensure first-time conforming parts.

Essentially you’ll apply Lean (PFMEA, root-cause analysis) and advanced machining methods, with Mastercam, SolidWorks, and SAP, to support NPI and zero-defects

Qualifications

• Time-served apprenticeship or equivalent practical engineering training.
• Minimum HNC/HND in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production Engineering, or closely related discipline.
• 5–10 years’ aerospace Manufacturing Engineering/CNC/Process experience.
• Proven CNC programming for complex precision components including 5-axis capability.
• Strong knowledge of machining tools, fixtures, inspection, and workholding.
• Experience developing and validating manufacturing processes.
• Ability to read engineering drawings, GD&T, and aerospace quality requirements.
• Experience creating routings, work instructions, tooling specs, BOMs.
• Lean, PFMEA, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, continuous improvement.
• Excellent cross-functional communication with design, quality, supply chain.

Responsibilities

• Create CNC programs to support industrialisation of new and legacy components.
• Create routing and rework salvage schemes for production.
• Engage in PFMEA and Zero-Defect tasks to reduce non-conformance and improve FPY.
• Develop and validate manufacturing methods for new and existing products.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, tooling specs, and routings.
• Collaborate with design, quality, and supply chain to improve manufacturability.
• Identify and resolve shop-floor process issues to minimize downtime.
• Implement continuous improvement to boost productivity and reduce waste.
• Train and support manufacturing staff on new processes, tooling, and equipment.
