Production and Configuration Engineer – Aerospace Engines – Milano (On-Site) Our client is an international aerospace manufacturing company seeking a hands-on Production and Configuration Engineer to support the industrialisation, documentation, configuration control, and manufacturing readiness of its engine products. This is not a pure design role and not a production supervision role. It is a practical engineering role for someone who can translate real products, assemblies, drawings, manufacturing knowledge, and shop-floor experience into controlled technical documentation. The company is entering a major growth and factory relocation phase, and this role will be important in building the technical foundation required for the next stage: structured BOMs, reliable drawings, controlled configurations, work instructions, technical specifications, engine manuals, and production documentation. Job Responsibilities Create, update, and maintain 3 D models, mechanical assemblies, production drawings, and assembly drawings. Support Engineering and Quality in creating and updating ATPs, inspection criteria, acceptance documents, and production test documentation. Prepare and maintain structured BOMs for engines, assemblies, and mechanical systems. Define functional tolerances for CNC-machined parts and mechanical assemblies. Prepare work instructions, assembly instructions, technical specifications, and production documentation. Write and update engine manuals and technical literature based on input from Engineering, Production, and Quality. Support and maintain configuration control by updating drawings, BOMs, documents, and revision records.
Support ECO/ECN activities by documenting configuration changes and ensuring alignment between Engineering, Production, and Quality. Identify and close gaps between the actual production process and released technical documentation. Capture and formalise practical production knowledge from experienced technicians into controlled technical documentation. Develop and maintain document templates, naming conventions, revision practices, and standard document structures. Work with technicians on the shop floor to understand real assembly, machining, and production constraints. Support the improvement of existing products in terms of manufacturability, repeatability, and documentation control. Requirements MUST: Minimum 3 years of proven experience in production engineering, manufacturing engineering, technical documentation, mechanical assemblies, or configuration management. MUST: Strong CAD capability — ability to create and update 3 D models, assemblies, drawings, exploded views, tolerances, and technical documentation. MUST: Ability to build and maintain BOMs in alignment with drawings, assemblies, and production reality. MUST: Fluent Italian and conversational English. Advantage: Good understanding of CNC machining, mechanical assemblies, industrial machines, motors, or complex mechanical products. Advantage: Experience with ERP, PDM, or PLM systems (e.g. Teamcenter, Windchill, Enovia). Advantage: Experience in aerospace, foundry, casting, small-series production, or high-mix manufacturing. Education: Degree or technical diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, or a similar technical field.
