Descripción de la vacante

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

Formación

• 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.

Responsabilidades

• 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.

Descripción del empleo

As a Manufacturing Engineer at Parker Meggitt based in Ansty Park, you will play a pivotal role in turning advanced aerospace engineering into high-quality, dependable products that perform in some of the world’s most demanding environments.

You will own and continually improve the manufacturing methods that enable safe, efficient and cost-effective production. From process design, tooling and fixtures to technical documentation, routings and bills of materials, you will ensure every element is accurate, robust and ready to deliver conforming parts first time.

Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will use your aerospace technical expertise and problem-solving skills to remove production barriers, improve flow and quality, and respond rapidly when issues arise. Your contribution will directly support on-time delivery for our customers and help drive the continuous improvement culture behind Parker Meggitt’s aerospace capabilities.

Key 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 reduce non-conformance and increase FPY metrics
• Develop and validate manufacturing methods for new and existing products to ensure efficient, repeatable, and quality production processes.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, tooling specifications, and routings for manufacturing processes to enable consistent production and compliance with quality standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, quality, supply chain) to review and improve product manufacturability resulting in reduced production costs and lead times.
• Identify and resolve process issues on the shop floor and in production workflows to minimize downtime and ensure timely delivery of conforming parts.
• Implement continuous improvement initiatives targeting manufacturing efficiency and quality to enhance productivity and reduce waste.
• Train and support manufacturing staff on new processes, tooling, and equipment to build capability and maintain high standards of workmanship.

Essential skills and experience you’ll need to be considered for this position

• Commitment to working on-site 5 days (Monday - Friday)
• Time-served engineering apprenticeship or equivalent practical engineering training.
