<p>Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) designs, develops, and manufactures advanced composite components in order to help our customers push the frontiers of innovation. Our core strength is our ability to produce highly tailored, complex composite components. With our unique blend of products - including 3D woven structures, traditional and non-traditional 2D composite structures, and discrete through thickness reinforcement technologies, to name a few - AEC is able to produce composite components and products which meet performance and cost specifications often beyond the reach of metallic or conventional laminated composites.</p> <p>Our composite design and fabrication expertise can be found on many commercial platforms such as Boeing's 7-series family, the Airbus A380 aircraft as well as Sikorsky S-76 helicopter. For defense programs, AEC provides a wide range of products including complete structural assemblies, flight critical components, primary and secondary structural elements for platforms such as the F-35 Lightning II, the CH-53K Heavy-lift Helicopter and the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).</p> <p>AEC is committed to delivering high-quality, economical composite solutions to our customers. Significant investment in infrastructure and automation ensures AEC is positioned to maximize that value, offering the right processes to meet our customer's needs.</p> <p>The Manufacturing Engineer implements and maintains well defined, documented, and controlled manufacturing processes pertaining to the finishing and assembly of aircraft structures manufactured from advanced composite materials. The ME works collaboratively with operations, quality, and tooling to support the optimization of processes and applies engineering techniques to the solution of problems.</p> <p>Key Duties and Responsibilities:</p> <ul> <li>Support of the production floor in finishing (paint, edge seal, identification) and aircraft structural assembly. </li><li>Maintain current assembly process documentation and manage the changes in Product Data Management (PDM) systems. </li><li>Evaluate nonconforming parts/structures and provide dispositions based on customer specifications. </li><li>Support root cause and corrective action investigations. </li><li>Promptly troubleshoot process defects to minimize effects to production downtime. </li><li>Evaluate model-based definition, part/assembly datasheets, and customer specifications to establish shop order instructions and repairs to defective parts. </li><li>Identify and implement process improvement opportunities relating to safety, quality, and production efficiency. </li><li>Create and maintain process PFMEAs </li></ul>
