Job summary

Parker Meggitt in Ansty Park, Coventry, UK, seeks a Manufacturing Engineer to own and improve manufacturing methods for aerospace components. You will develop CNC programs, routings, tooling specs, and process documentation to ensure first-time conformance and on-time delivery.

You will work with design, quality, and supply chain teams to reduce waste, improve flow, and drive continuous improvement, while training staff on new processes and equipment.

Qualifications

• Time-served engineering apprenticeship or equivalent practical engineering training.
• Minimum HNC/HND in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• 5-10 years’ experience in a Manufacturing Engineering, CNC Programming, CNC Machining, or Process Engineering role within the aerospace sector.
• Proven CNC programming experience for complex precision-machined components, including turning and milling, multi-axis machining (5-axis); process prove-out, optimisation, and cycle-time reduction.
• Strong practical knowledge of machining methods, cutting tools, workholding, fixtures, tooling design, and inspection requirements.
• Experience developing, validating, and improving manufacturing processes for new and existing products.
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, GD&T, and aerospace quality requirements.
• Experience creating and maintaining routings, process documentation, work instructions, tooling specifications, and BOMs.

Responsibilities

• Create CNC programs to support industrialisation of new and legacy components.
• Create routing and rework salvage schemes for production.
• Engage in PFMEA and other Zero-Defect tasks to reduce non-conformance and increase FPY.
• Develop and validate manufacturing methods for new and existing products to ensure efficient, repeatable production processes.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, tooling specs, and routings for manufacturing processes to enable consistent production and compliance with quality standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to review and improve product manufacturability, reducing costs and lead times.
• Identify and resolve shop-floor process issues to minimise downtime and ensure timely delivery of conforming parts.
• Implement continuous improvement initiatives targeting manufacturing efficiency and quality.
• Train and support manufacturing staff on new processes, tooling, and equipment.
