AAA USA is actively hiring experienced Manufacturing Engineers to support aerospace, defense, transportation, industrial, and advanced manufacturing programs nationwide. You will work directly with production teams to improve methods, solve build issues, and support DFM initiatives. The role offers competitive pay, career growth, and opportunities to work with advanced production technologies in a hands-on environment.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
5-7 years of manufacturing engineering experience, preferably in aerospace or complex assembly.
Hands-on experience with machining, sheet metal, welding, composites, and mechanical or electrical assembly.
Strong CAD proficiency and ability to read engineering drawings, including GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
Experience with DFM analysis and manufacturing-specific documentation.
ERP experience such as Epicor or SAP with eBOM/mBOM reconciliation.
Responsibilities
Work directly with mechanics, technicians, and production personnel to identify and resolve manufacturing and assembly issues.
Improve manufacturing methods, processes, ergonomics, work content, and production flow within assigned manufacturing areas.
Analyze build sequences and develop practical, efficient, and repeatable manufacturing processes.
Use CAD models, engineering drawings, and technical documentation to understand design intent and identify opportunities to improve manufacturability.
Develop and maintain manufacturing drawings, models, work instructions, process documentation, and other manufacturing engineering deliverables.
Ensure manufacturing changes remain traceable to engineering requirements and maintain required fit, form, function, quality, and configuration control.
Perform Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis and recommend design or process improvements to improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing issues.
Develop and present engineering recommendations and design-change proposals to Design Engineering and manufacturing leadership.
Support initiatives focused on reducing labor hours, production costs, rework, scrap, and manufacturing cycle time.
Support tooling definition, fixture requirements, process development, and production equipment improvements.
Assist with ERP and manufacturing system alignment, including eBOM/mBOM reconciliation, routings, work content, and production data.
