What you will do

• Own and maintain complete manufacturing transfer dossiers for designated composite airframe modules, including drawings, bills of materials, material specifications, critical characteristics, and acceptance criteria.
• Integrate design for manufacturability and design for assembly into early mechanical design reviews, optimizing composite layups, bonded joints, tooling interfaces, and tolerance stack-ups.
• Set release standards and act as the final authority for product transfer gates from engineering to manufacturing.
• Manage engineering change orders, drawing dispositions, non-conformance reviews, and design clarification requests from production.
• Align design decisions with production operations and external suppliers, and use production feedback to improve dossiers and release standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline.
• Practical mastery of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, tolerance stack-up analysis, and acceptance criteria definition.
• Strong knowledge of composite materials, layup sequences, tooling limitations, cure cycles, and bonded structural joints.
• Experience owning released drawing packages, structured bills of materials, and engineering change order workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to integrate manufacturing and assembly principles into active design reviews.
• Professional proficiency in both English and French is required.
