Job Description Summary: Are you ready to take your engineering expertise to the next level? We’re looking for a dynamic and driven Mechanical Supplier Manufacturing Engineer to join our team!

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work closely with our trusted mechanical suppliers, building partnerships and driving improvements in Quality, Delivery, and Cost (QDC). You’ll support collaborative kaizen events and lead productivity initiatives designed for mechanical manufacturing processes. You will contribute to cost savings through should-cost analysis and value estimating for compliance, and you will influence suppliers and their processes to achieve outcomes. You will also deploy FLIGHT DECK tools into the supply base to drive lean transformation and continuous improvement.

Flight Deck is GE Aerospace\'s proprietary lean operating model designed to drive continuous improvement, operational excellence, and alignment across the organisation. It incorporates lean principles such as Kaizen, Kata, Hoshin Kanri, and Standard Work, tailored to GE Aerospace\'s needs.

• 
  
• Supplier Collaboration: Partner with mechanically focused suppliers to identify and implement improvements in Quality, Delivery, and Cost, ensuring alignment with organisational goals.
  
• Influence Supplier Processes: Influence suppliers and their mechanical manufacturing processes to drive improvements and ensure alignment with standards and expectations.
  
• Kaizen Events: Facilitate and support kaizen events at supplier locations, focusing on mechanical manufacturing processes to drive continuous improvement and productivity.
  
• Cost Analysis: Perform should-cost analysis for mechanical components and assemblies to identify cost-saving opportunities and conduct value estimating for compliance.
  
• Technical Support: Provide limited assistance in solving technical issues and triaging engineering challenges related to mechanical manufacturing processes.
  
• Process Improvement: Work with cross-functional teams to identify and implement lean manufacturing principles and best practices for mechanical suppliers.
  
• Supplier Development: Support supplier development initiatives to enhance capabilities in mechanical manufacturing and ensure alignment with standards.
