Manufacturing Engineer
 
At Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands, we work at the frontiers of technology in one of the most challenging and rapidly changing industries in the world: Space. Our products and services - including Solar Arrays, Launcher Structures, Instruments & Services, and Mechanical Thermal products - are among the best in the world. They enable missions that are of great importance for our everyday life on Earth, such as satellite navigation, communications, climate research and monitoring of air quality.
 
At our state-of-the-art facilities in Leiden, a team of over 250 dedicated professionals work on the design, development, assembly, testing and delivery of space products and services. We do that by thinking creatively in terms of solutions and by working with like-minded business partners.

Job description
Your main focus is the development and implementation of (new) production processes. Key drivers are reduction of manufacturing costs (early in the supply chain), optimization of the assembly flow and logistics, while maintaining the high quality that is standard in Space. In this position, you are the linking pin for projects, interacting with Engineering, Procurement, AIT and suppliers.
 
The production of parts is mostly outsourced, but the assembly and integration of the various projects takes place in-house. You are responsible for improving process flows, for example by using smart tool solutions (such as molds, mechanical ground support equipment). Especially, to simplify production of parts and the assembly, by improving the way products are handled during the production process. For example, through smart automation of administrative processes (e.g. PLM). Further, robotization, KanBan, MRP and DBR are also within your scope.
 
You know everything about materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, titanium and composites, with operations such as milling, turning and connection techniques such as riveting, gluing, bolt / nut connections and ultrasonic welding.
 
In short, you are a strong communicator and team player, able to challenge Engineering for a commercial design and develop our suppliers and AIT to work efficient and effective in a high tech environment.
