at  BAE Systems

Job Title: Principal Manufacturing Engineer – Design for Manufacture
Location: Barrow-in-Furness – Onsite
Salary: Competitive

What you’ll be doing:

• Reviewing all internal and external customer interface requirements and confirming or defining the overall tolerance requirement for the build
• Working in conjunction with the Engineering, Quality Control and MBP to define proposed datum systems and tolerance cascades/aggregation, based on agreed build philosophies, variation analysis and the current manufacturing capabilities
• Feeding back the tolerances and datum schemes into the design process on the 2D drawing outputs and 3D models in order to capture the design for manufacturing and assembly intent
• Supporting Manufacturing Build Planning through interaction with Dimensional Control to confirm mandatory hold and inspection points in the build sequence and production routings
• Identifying appropriate measurement and setting techniques to support an efficient and accurate build sequence, which will maintain the design intent
• Specifying tools and techniques to be included in manufacturing instructions and provide the build teams with the capability to control key product characteristics at each stage of the build
• Setting build tolerances to manage tolerance aggregation and ensure these are marked on drawings separately to the design tolerances set by Engineering

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES:

Essential

• HNC or equivalent technical qualification or significant experience
• CEng / IEng accredited, or willingness to work towards achieving it
• Leadership and Management Qualifications / Programmes or equivalent (either already awarded, or willingness to obtain)
