As a Manufacturing Engineer on the F-35 Integrated Assembly Line (IAL), I support high-rate aerospace production through hands-on process development, technical problem-solving, and cross-functional coordination. My work directly supports defect resolution, hardware integration, and continuous improvement of manufacturing systems in alignment with engineering intent.• Conducted Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) using the Hexagon Absolute Arm for dimensional inspection and defect analysis; drove build quality improvements and reduced rework by over ERP, MES, and CATIA V5 to investigate production discrepancies, track nonconformance records, and coordinate engineering documentation for process improvement and traceability.• Authored and revised Manufacturing Change Orders (MCOs) and Visual Work Instructions (VWIs) to correct documentation, implement engineering changes, and enhance technician clarity on the production floor.• Designed and released custom shop aids and tooling using CATIA to streamline assembly, improve process flow, and reduce technician cycle time.• Applied GD & T and sheet metal design expertise to support manufacturability, tolerance analysis, and adherence to aerospace standards. • Collaborated daily with design, liaison, planning, and quality engineers to resolve build issues, interpret drawings, and maintain alignment with engineering intent.• Maintained and updated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and reviewed Assembly Review Packages (ARPs) to ensure manufacturing repeatability and integration readiness.• Provided real-time technical support for composite and metallic structure assembly, including sealants, fasteners, and structural adhesives, contributing to consistent high-quality builds.
