We are looking to expand the Manufacturing Engineering team and for this reason, we are looking for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer for the Assembly team.

As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer at our multi-technology manufacturing campus, you will play a critical role in ensuring the efficient and seamless production of landing gear components. Your contributions will directly support the delivery of unique projects that prioritize the safety of everyone who relies on our products in flight.

In this role, you will be a key member of the assembly team, supporting operational deliveries by preparing and managing product-related documentation. This includes analyzing production characteristics to improve processes, managing Level 1 (L1) non-conformities, and defining temporary production instructions. Additionally, you will prepare dispositions for Level 2 (L2) non-conformities, with the aim of advancing to a position as a Non-Conformity (NC) approver.

We focus on the design and development, production and assembly of complete landing gears, as well as the repair and reassembly of systems already in use. In doing so, we work on the most famous aircraft and helicopters; think of the Apache combat helicopter, the F-35 Lightning II (JSF), the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 and the multipurpose NH90 maritime combat helicopter.
