Manufacturing Engineer

--------------------------

Location:

Bangalore

Function:

Manufacturing Engineering / Supplier Industrialization

What you will do:

The

Manufacturing Engineer - Supplier Work Transfer

will provide technical leadership and hands-on support for transitioning aerospace parts, assemblies, and processes to qualified suppliers in India.


This role ensures that manufacturing processes are properly transferred, validated, and sustained to meet aerospace quality, performance, and compliance standards. The engineer will act as the

technical bridge between the OEM engineering teams and supplier manufacturing teams

, ensuring the successful industrialization of transferred components and assemblies.


The position demands a strong foundation in aerospace manufacturing methods, process control, and problem solving, along with the ability to collaborate effectively across global and local teams.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Technical Support for Work Transfer

Review and interpret technical data packages (TDPs), engineering drawings, and specifications for manufacturability. Prepare and validate manufacturing process documentation (process flow, PFMEA, control plans, work instructions). Support suppliers in replicating or adapting existing manufacturing processes from incumbent facilities to new production locations. Validate transferred tooling, gauges, and fixtures for dimensional accuracy and capability. Ensure process qualification and readiness per aerospace standards -- including

FAI / FAIR, PPAP, and AS9102

documentation.

2. Supplier Process Readiness

Conduct detailed manufacturing capability and gap assessments at supplier sites. Provide on-site technical guidance to suppliers for process setup, machining methods, heat treatment, coating, assembly, or testing. Drive supplier process optimization to ensure stable, repeatable, and compliant production. Coordinate with

Supplier Quality

,

Transition Managers

, and

Commodity Engineers

to resolve technical or process issues.

3. Process Validation & Qualification

Lead or support process qualification runs and ensure compliance to AS9100 and customer requirements. Validate critical process parameters, dimensional conformance, and special process certifications (NADCAP, if applicable). Support troubleshooting of nonconformities and implement corrective actions through structured problem-solving (8D, RCA). Ensure that all technical deliverables are documented, reviewed, and approved prior to production release.

4. Continuous Improvement

Identify opportunities for process improvement, cost reduction, and cycle time optimization at supplier sites. Capture and share best practices and lessons learned for future work transfers. Support digital manufacturing initiatives, such as model-based definition (MBD), SPC, and process capability analytics.

5. Collaboration & Communication

Work closely with global engineering, operations, and supplier quality teams to ensure alignment on design intent, manufacturability, and quality expectations. Serve as the key technical liaison between internal engineering and supplier manufacturing personnel. Support transition project reviews, status reporting, and technical documentation updates.

Qualifications you must have:

Bachelor's degree in

Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering.

8-10 years

of experience in manufacturing engineering, process industrialization, or supplier technical support in the

aerospace or precision manufacturing

domain. Strong understanding of

aerospace manufacturing processes

, such as precision machining, sheet metal fabrication, special processes (plating, heat treatment, welding), and assembly. Experience with

AS9100, NADCAP

, and related aerospace quality systems. Hands-on experience with

FAIR, PPAP, APQP, DFMEA, PFMEA, and Control Plan

methodologies. Familiarity with GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and ability to interpret complex engineering drawings. Proficiency with CAD/CAM tools (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks), and statistical tools for process validation (e.g., Minitab, Excel).

Qualifications we prefer:

Certification in

Lean Manufacturing

,

Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt)

, or

Project Management (PMP)

. Experience supporting

work transfers, localization projects, or NPI

in a global supply chain environment. Knowledge of

ERP/MES systems

and digital process documentation tools. Familiarity with

ITAR/EAR

or export-controlled data handling.

Key Skills & Competencies

Technical Proficiency:

Deep understanding of aerospace manufacturing methods, process validation, and documentation.

Problem Solving:

Strong analytical ability using root cause analysis, 8D, and structured problem-solving frameworks.

Supplier Collaboration:

Ability to influence and guide supplier technical teams through process readiness and qualification.

Attention to Detail:

Diligent in documentation, traceability, and compliance to aerospace standards.

Communication:

Clear and concise communication across global and cross-functional teams.

Ownership & Accountability:

Hands-on attitude with a focus on achieving production readiness and process stability.

Performance Indicators (Success Metrics)

On-time completion of process validation milestones (FAI / PPAP approvals). Supplier process capability (Cpk/Ppk) achievement for critical features. Number of technical issues closed within defined turnaround time. First-pass yield improvement and scrap/rework reduction during ramp-up. Stakeholder feedback (supplier and internal engineering teams).

What we offer:

Be part of a

globally recognized aerospace manufacturer

executing strategic work transfers to India. Opportunity to

apply advanced manufacturing engineering skills

in a complex, high-precision environment. High exposure to

cross-functional teams and global leadership
