Job Description:

Airbus US Manufacturing Facility is looking for a Process Performance Verification Leader II (Engineering) to join our  Final Assembly Line based in Mobile, AL.

This position will be in charge of collecting the evidence linked to the Production Process Verification Procedure (PPV). PPV is a documented review used to demonstrate the ability of a given manufacturing system to produce conforming items in a serial mode. It is necessary to perform a PPV in case of major industrial change (new A/C version) or specific industrial risk. Due to rate increase and increased complexity, a robust PPV process will be critical in the coming years. The position will be in charge of supporting all the deliverables as described in the Airbus process,  identifying and collecting the evidence. All the engineering technical information, quality control, measurement tasks, components / parts, jigs & tools, maintenance tasks, health & safety and related IT processes need to be known to fully meet the position.

Meet the team:

Our Engineers at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing facility take our aircraft from concept to customer delivery – working with production teams on every aspect of assembly from managing technical information, quality control, maintenance tasks and health & safety – along flowlines and flightlines. Join our team and watch our aircraft come to life.
