Methods Engineer – Aerospace Manufacturing

About the role

We are seeking a Methods Engineer to join our aerospace manufacturing team in Mirabel, QC. The role focuses on developing and optimizing manufacturing processes for aircraft structural parts, both metallic and composite, ensuring high quality and efficiency from day‑one onsite.

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement manufacturing processes for aircraft detail parts and sub‑assemblies, including metallic and composite components.
• Create flow charts and integration plans for aero‑structural assembly lines.
• Develop and apply processes such as solvent cleaning, shimming, rivet installation (solid and blind), electrical bonding, sealant application, shrink‑fit, press‑fit, helicoil insertion and lube fitting.
• Lead rework and repair activities on metallic structures (taper marking, sanding, alodine touch‑up) and composite structures (repair‑ply identification, lay‑up, curing, NDT).
• Perform abrasive machining operations (deburring, sanding, honing, edge preparation) and support shot‑peening requirements.
• Implement and maintain system controls for the manufacturing facility.

Required profile

• Hands‑on experience in aerospace manufacturing processes for metallic and composite aircraft parts.
• Familiarity with aero‑structural assembly integration and process documentation.
• Knowledge of rework and repair techniques for both metal and composite structures.
• Understanding of NDT methods such as fluorescent penetrant, magnetic particle and ultrasonic inspection.

Required skills

• GD&T and interpretation of engineering drawings.
• Metallic machining and abrasive processes (deburring, sanding, honing, edge preparation).
• Composite repair techniques (repair‑ply lay‑up, curing, bagging).
• NDT methods: FPI, MPI, ultrasonic inspection.
• Process documentation and flow‑chart creation.
• System implementation for manufacturing facility control.
