Aerospace Manufacturing Planner – Full-Time or Part-Time

What You'll Do

• Review aerospace drawings, specifications, purchase orders, and customer requirements
• Develop manufacturing plans and shop travelers for individual parts and assemblies
• Determine the appropriate sequence of manufacturing operations
• Plan machining, fabrication, welding, assembly, inspection, heat treatment, plating, and other outside processing
• Identify material, hardware, and purchased-part requirements
• Work with machinists, inspectors, purchasing, engineering, and management to resolve planning questions

What We're Looking For

We are primarily looking for practical aerospace manufacturing experience. You do not necessarily need to be an engineer.

A strong candidate may have experience as an aerospace manufacturing planner, machinist, manufacturing engineer, quality inspector, programmer, or other hands-on manufacturing professional who understands how aerospace parts are actually made.

Experience with some of the following would be helpful:

• Aerospace manufacturing and drawings
• CNC and manual machining
• Sheet metal and fabrication
• Welding and assemblies
• Outside processes such as heat treat, plating, anodizing, and NDT
• Aerospace specifications and material requirements
• AS9100 manufacturing environments
• Shop travelers, routers, work instructions, and planning with JobBoss Software.

The ability to read and understand complex engineering drawings is important.

Hours: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
