Translate engineering models, ply books, and lamination schedules into executable AFP paths with accurate fiber orientation, coverage, and boundaries
Support Electroimpact machine setup, calibration, and laser alignment for first article and repeatable production runs
Analyze and optimize machine pathing to minimize defects (e.g., gaps, overlaps, tow steering errors), improve machine efficiency, and extend tool life
Review and validate AFP programs with simulations and dry runs, working alongside operators during production start-ups
Collaborate with design engineering to provide design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback for composite parts intended for AFP
Investigate and resolve machine and process-related issues, working cross-functionally with maintenance and Electroimpact technical support as needed
Participate in tooling design reviews to ensure compatibility with AFP head dimensions, access, and laser projection systems
Implement and document process improvements, material usage reductions, and automation enhancements
Develop and maintain standard work instructions, AFP best practices, and process documentation
Support audits, root cause investigations, and corrective actions involving AFP-manufactured parts
