You must be proficient in CAD/CAM software (NX preferred), able to read and interpret engineering drawings including GD&T, and comfortable with MS Office and project management tools. Leadership experience is required. You must be local to Morrisville, NC and eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
Preferred qualifications include aerospace, defense, automotive, or energetics facility experience; familiarity with AS9100/NADCAP accredited manufacturing; proficiency in TeamCenter; experience with multiple composite manufacturing processes (filament winding, autoclave, VARTM, prepregs, hydraulic press); and understanding of CNC machining operations (5-axis routers, lathes, mills).
