## About the role

Every aircraft program has a gap between what engineering releases and what a technician can actually build. This role exists to close it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Turn released engineering data into production-ready manufacturing planning: work orders, routings and travelers, manufacturing BOMs, and detailed work instructions
- Work in the gap between engineering and production, and able to hold a technical position with engineers while staying credible with technicians
- Author and maintain step-level work instructions in our digital work instruction system, linked to CAD, and keep them current as the configuration moves
- Interpret and enforce aerospace specifications governing manufacturing processes, engineering requirements, and quality systems, verify the build conforms to what the spec actually calls for
- Plan and support first article and engineering builds. Work the bench alongside technicians, capture every deviation, and drive redlines and change actions to closure
- Design, source, build, and prove out tooling, jigs, fixtures, and gages — from identifying the need through shop acceptance and first use
