About The Project:


Throughout the assembly of aero structures, components with complex, irregular geometry must be integrated into assemblies to a high degree of precision.

Historically this has been done with precise and highly expensive tooling. Even with specialist tooling, the quality control process of aero structures is highly skilled, time consuming and costly.

  • Understand the key assembly requirements for complex civil airframe components
  • Work closely with suppliers to specification, procure and test metrology systems
  • Integrate the selected metrology systems into the existing production line
  • Automate the processing of metrology data and implement statistical process control (SPC)


During this placement you can expect the support of a team of research engineers with a wealth and breadth of experience.

We are seeking a self-disciplined and self-motivated individual who is excited by the challenges and opportunities of this project, enjoys autonomy but is also proactive in seeking the advice, support and experience of colleagues and industry experts.
