We are an AS9100-certified contract manufacturer specializing in advanced manufacturing solutions for the aerospace and defense industry. Our team blends precision engineering with innovation, supporting complex programs through superior process control, data-driven improvement, and disciplined execution. We foster a collaborative environment where engineers can apply both creative design and rigorous analytical thinking to real-world manufacturing challenges.

Position Summary

The Mechanical Engineer will play a key role in supporting and improving manufacturing operations through data-driven analysis, process development, and engineering design. This individual will work cross-functionally with production, programming, quality, and leadership teams to execute engineering projects, develop tooling and fixtures, improve process efficiency, and ensure compliance with AS9100 and customer requirements. This is a hands-on, highly analytical position suited for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, technical environment and enjoys applying both creative and methodical approaches to problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, including process plans, dimensional inspection plans, test procedures, and detailed work instructions.
  • Create and modify routings/travelers in the company’s MRP system to ensure accurate process flow and traceability.
  • Lead engineering projects from initiation through completion by:
  • Defining scope, objectives, and deliverables aligned with leadership goals.
  • Collecting and organizing relevant production and quality data.
  • Performing analytical and statistical evaluations to identify trends and improvement opportunities.
  • Developing clear engineering documentation and presenting data-driven recommendations.
Engineering Projects May Include, but are Not Limited to:
  • Fixture, Test Equipment, and Automation System Design
    • Develop and refine concept designs and 3D models for production fixtures, test equipment, and automation systems using Solid Works.
    • Perform engineering calculations and design validation to ensure mechanical integrity, repeatability, and manufacturability.
    • Generate detailed engineering drawings and BOM’s compliant with ASME Y14.5 standards.
    • Collaborate with manufacturing and inspection teams to support manufacture, assembly, and verification activities.
    • Manage documentation and design release processes, incorporating lessons learned and revision control.
  • Development of Numerical Tools and Process Optimization Models
    • Design and implement Excel-based or script-driven analytical tools to support manufacturing, engineering, and business decision-making.
    • Conduct data modeling and correlation analyses to understand key relationships.
    • Prepare reports, dashboards, and visualizations to communicate findings and enable data-driven decision-making.
    • Recommend and validate process adjustments or parameter optimizations to improve efficiency, consistency, and quality.
  • Process Improvement and Waste Reduction
    • Identify inefficient, redundant, or high-variation processes in manufacturing, inspection, or support operations.
    • Develop controlled test plans or experiments (DOE) to evaluate alternative methods, tooling, or technologies.
    • Drive implementation of validated improvements through updated documentation, training, and production rollout.
    • Support the company’s continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives by developing repeatable frameworks for data collection and performance tracking.
  • Required Qualifications
    • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or related field.
    • Minimum 5 years of relevant professional experience in manufacturing or mechanical engineering.
    • Advanced proficiency in Solid Works, including complex assemblies, design intent, and drawing generation.
    • Expert understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and ability to both interpret and produce detailed engineering drawings.
    • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, especially multi-axis machining and turning processes.
    • Experience with AS9100 Quality Management Systems and related documentation requirements.
    • Demonstrated ability to organize, plan, and execute projects…
