Senior Manufacturing Engineer (Aircraft Assembly & Systems Integration)
✈️ About the Opportunity
We are supporting an advanced aerospace programme entering a critical phase of live prototype aircraft build, assembly, and transition toward pre-production.
This role is ideally suited to an experienced aerospace manufacturing engineer with a strong background in aircraft assembly, systems installation, and shop-floor manufacturing support.
You will work closely with design, production and test teams to ensure complex aircraft systems — including EWIS — are successfully integrated, assembled and commissioned.
While the role offers hybrid working, it remains closely connected to aircraft build activity and manufacturing operations, requiring regular collaboration with engineering and production teams.
If you enjoy solving real aircraft build challenges and supporting the transition from prototype to production, this opportunity places you at the centre of an exciting aerospace program.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting aircraft assembly and systems installation activities within the manufacturing environment
- Developing and maintaining manufacturing process plans and build instructions for complex aircraft systems
- Working with production and engineering teams to resolve assembly and integration challenges
- Ensuring manufacturing processes align with aircraft design intent and system-level requirements
- Creating and managing planning and commissioning cards from engineering design data
- Supporting EWIS and aircraft systems integration within the aircraft build programme
- Providing manufacturing engineering support to maintain build progress and resolve technical issues
- Leading and contributing to concession activity, root cause investigations, and corrective actions
- Supporting aircraft and manufacturing facility commissioning activities
- Helping prepare manufacturing processes for the transition from prototype to production
