Job description: Job Description:Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) designs, develops, and manufactures advanced composite components in order to help our customers push the frontiers of innovation. Our core strength is our ability to produce highly tailored, complex composite components. With our unique blend of products – including 3D woven structures, traditional and non-traditional 2D composite structures, and discrete through thickness reinforcement technologies, to name a few – AEC is able to produce composite components and products which meet performance and cost specifications often beyond the reach of metallic or conventional laminated composites.Our composite design and fabrication expertise can be found on many commercial platforms such as Boeing’s 7-series family, the Airbus A380 aircraft as well as Sikorsky S-76 helicopter. For defense programs, AEC provides a wide range of products including complete structural assemblies, flight critical components, primary and secondary structural elements for platforms such as the F-35 Lightning II, the CH-53K Heavy-lift Helicopter and the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).AEC is committed to delivering high-quality, economical composite solutions to our customers. Significant investment in infrastructure and automation ensures AEC is positioned to maximize that value, offering the right processes to meet our customer’s needs.This position is accountable for the equipment specification, qualification, and reliability which supports the manufacturing of parts for aerospace structural applications.Primary Responsibilities:
Diagnose and troubleshoot equipment related issues pertaining to automated fiber placement (AFP) machines, automated tape layer (ATL) machines, braiding machines, filament winders, non-destructive inspection/testing (NDI/NDT) machines, autoclaves, ovens, pattern cutters, CNC machining centers, and industrial robot systems.
Work with Maintenance and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to expedite repairs and drive to Root Cause and Corrective Actions (RCCA) that prevent recurrence of breakdowns.
Define plans to support, define, or improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Preventive Maintenance (PM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Remaining Useful Life (RUL), equipment reliability/availability, obsolescence, spare parts identification, and equipment qualification.
Use advanced tools such as Statistical Process Control (SPC), IoT remote sensor monitoring, Renishaw Ballbar, vibration analysis, infrared thermography, power analysis, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Machine Learning to monitor and evaluate equipment performance.
Manage capital projects and/or define Scope of Work (SOW) and specifications for new equipment in accordance with Albany’s project management policy.
Initiate process improvements focused on safety, cycle time reduction, machine efficiency, and defect reduction in support of plant OEE goals.
Generate and maintain software and equipment support documents such as executive software, PLC software, servo motor/drive configuration, Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), and risk matrix.
