This Manufacturing Engineer role supports the overhaul and repair of high-pressure and low-pressure turbine airfoils for commercial and defense aero-engines. You will provide full technical and product support to a dynamic production cell, developing processes, tooling, and instructions that ensure the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance in an aerospace manufacturing environment.

• Provide full technical and product support to daily operations in the overhaul and repair of P&W 4000, V2500, PW2000, and F117 turbine airfoils.
• Deliver technical expertise on turbine airfoil products, including both high-pressure and low-pressure components.
• Develop, optimize, and maintain process flows for repair and overhaul operations to ensure efficient, repeatable, and high-quality outcomes.
• Generate clear and detailed technical work instructions for production personnel, ensuring compliance with engineering and regulatory requirements.
• Design tooling and fixturing to support machining, coating, laser, and heat treatment processes used in turbine airfoil repair.
• Collaborate and correspond with OEM and customer engineering teams to resolve technical issues and clarify requirements.
• Lead and support continuous process improvement initiatives focused on quality, throughput, cost reduction, and safety.
• Work closely within a dedicated product cell environment, partnering with skilled technicians and operators to meet production goals and quality standards.
• Apply knowledge of FAA regulations to ensure all repair and overhaul processes meet applicable regulatory requirements.
• Support CNC machining, laser drilling, laser cladding, plasma spray, heat treating, coatings, and related aerospace manufacturing processes.
• Contribute to problem solving within the production cell by analyzing issues, identifying root causes, and implementing effective corrective actions.
• Support engine MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) activities by aligning processes with commercial engine and aerospace industry standards.
• Document engineering changes, process updates, and technical communications in accordance with internal and customer requirements.

• Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 1–2 years of previous experience in aerospace manufacturing.
• A minimum of three years of aero-engine experience, preferably in overhaul or repair of major airfoil components.
• Experience in aerospace manufacturing and machining environments.
• MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) for commercial engines.
• Hands‑on experience with CNC machining operations.
• Knowledge of FAA regulations relevant to aerospace manufacturing and repair.
• Ability to generate clear technical work instructions and process documentation.
• Experience designing tooling and fixturing for manufacturing and repair processes.
• Strong problem‑solving skills to support a dynamic production cell.
• Effective communication skills for collaboration with internal teams and external engineering stakeholders.
• Ability to work productively in a product cell environment with cross‑functional teams.

• Experience in overhaul or repair of turbine airfoil components for engines such as P&W 4000, V2500, PW2000, and F117.
• Prior exposure or experience with laser drilling and laser cladding processes.
• Experience with plasma spray coating processes.
• Experience with heat treating processes in aerospace applications.
• Familiarity with coatings, additive manufacturing, and 3D printing technologies.
• Exposure to robotics and automated manufacturing systems.
• Experience with chemical processing in an aerospace or industrial setting.
• Outgoing and personable demeanor, with the ability to work closely with a dedicated team of skilled personnel.
• Experience in engine MRO environments and commercial engine repair programs.
• Ability to support continuous improvement initiatives in quality, cost, and throughput.
