Develop, optimize, and document manufacturing processes for Inconel and MP159 bolts, studs, and specialty fasteners serving aerospace and aeroderivative gas turbine customers.
Design end to end process flows, including warm forging, roll threading, heat treatment, and secondary machining, with defined in process inspections and controls.
Create and maintain routers, standard work, detailed setup sheets, tooling layouts, and control plans for superalloy fastener families.
Partner daily with operators on forging, roll threading, and machining operations to stabilize processes, increase throughput, and reduce scrap and rework.
Specify and improve heading and thread rolling tooling (dies, punches, fillet radii, blank designs) for Inconel and MP159, working directly with tooling vendors as needed.
Lead root cause analysis on dimensional, surface, and metallurgical nonconformances; implement corrective and preventive actions that stick on the floor.
Support qualification activities (FAI/PPAP/equivalent), including capability studies, control plans, and full documentation packages for key customers.
Work with Quality to ensure compliance with aerospace specs and customer requirements (NAS/MS/AS hardware, AMS superalloy, and heat treat/coating specs).
Provide input to quoting and CI projects by developing time standards, material yields, and process improvements for Inconel/MP159 families.
