Process Development Engineer
Birimimiz
Air vehicles developed at Baykar are designed with advanced engineering approaches and brought to life through production and integration processes that require high precision.
The successful manufacturing of a product depends not only on the design meeting technical requirements, but also on production and assembly operations being easy, repeatable, reliable, and sustainable.
Our team operating within this scope is positioned as a structure that analyzes technical problems arising during production and integration, determines the root causes of these problems, and, when necessary, executes technical improvements in product design, production methods, and operational workflows alongside design teams.
Pozisyonun Amacı
To systematically analyze technical problems encountered in production and integration processes and permanently eliminate these problems not merely through operational solutions, but, when necessary, at the product design and production method level.
In this scope, it is aimed to:
- Identify technical problems experienced in production and assembly operations,
- Analyze the root causes of problems,
- Determine design-rooted production and assembly challenges,
- Develop required design changes together with design teams,
- Evaluate alternative production and assembly methods,
- Develop new methods, appliances, fixtures, and equipment to facilitate operations,
- Make the production process faster, more reliable, repeatable, and error-free.
This role aims to build a technical bridge between design and production, ensuring that problems encountered in the field are fed back into design and process, executing necessary technical modifications, and continuously improving the product's manufacturing process.
