Join our Manufacturing Technologies team to lead the critical industrialization phase of advanced composite components at the Illescas Plant. While we are part of a global R&T network, this specific role is focused on the execution, scale-up, and operational excellence of new industrialization programs. You will be responsible for defining, validating, and optimizing manufacturing processes for composite structures. You will bridge the gap between engineering design and shop-floor reality, ensuring that processes involving Layup (FPM/AFP), Hot Debulking, and Curing are robust, efficient, and meet our rigorous quality standards.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the industrialization of composite manufacturing lines at the Illescas site
Define and qualify specific manufacturing processes, with a primary focus on Layup technologies and Hot Debulking
Oversee the end-to-end composite cycle, including bagging, autoclave cure cycles, debugging/demoulding, and subsequent trimming and drilling operations
Analyze manufacturing results through rigorous inspection protocols, including dimensional inspections and Photogrammetry
Manage process validation using Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and destructive testing methods
Lead troubleshooting activities on the shop floor to resolve technical issues during the ramp-up phase
Act as the focal point for Airbus Process Instructions (AIPIs)
Collaborate with Engineering and Quality teams to co-design processes that enhance manufacturability (DFM)
Utilize project management and quality tools (PFMEA, PDCA, Risk Analysis) to mitigate industrialization risks
Requirements:
Strong engineering background with a specialization in Aeronautical Composite Materials
Proven experience in Layup technologies: FPM (Flat Ply Placement) and AFP (Automated Fiber Placement)
Hot Debulking (highly desired)
Autoclave curing processes and bagging techniques
Trimming, drilling, and assembly of composite parts
Knowledge of Dimensional Inspections, Photogrammetry, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods
Demonstrated ability to define, set up, and industrialize manufacturing systems in a factory environment
Experience with prepreg materials and an understanding of their behavior compared to dry fiber
Competence in project management, specifically regarding planning, cost control, and industrial risk management
Familiarity with environmental solutions and Health & Safety practices in an industrial setting
