  • Process development, parameters, and optimization
  • Tooling design and qualification
  • Maintenance and inspection criteria
  • Customer approvals and compliance
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance process stability, product quality, and operational efficiency
• Analyze production data and performance metrics to identify improvement opportunities and implement corrective actions
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and cross‑functional teams
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and quality teams to support production goals
• Ensure compliance with aerospace quality standards, safety regulations, and industry requirements
• Support integration and advancement of manufacturing technologies (e.g., automation, advanced processing methods)

• Aerospace special process manufacturing
• Thermal barrier coatings, including ceramic or aluminizing technologies
• Preferred specialization in EBPVD (Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition)

• Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field or 10+ years of EBPVD Thermal Coating Engineering experience.
  • Proven experience in advanced manufacturing and process optimization within aerospace or highly regulated industries
  • Strong expertise in thermal coating technologies (ceramic and aluminizing)
  • Experience in data analysis and process control (e.g., statistical process control)
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in a technical leadership capacity
  • Strong problem‑solving, analytical, and decision‑making skills
• Preferred Qualifications
  • Direct hands‑on experience with EBPVD coating processes
  • Experience in highly regulated aerospace manufacturing environments
  • Master’s degree in Engineering or related field
  • Knowledge of advanced manufacturing technologies (automation, robotics)
  • Strong project management and continuous improvement experience
  • Six Sigma Black Belt

• Part of a technical leadership group alongside Principal and Lead Engineers
• Reports into a manager overseeing a team of ~22 engineers
• Provides technical direction and mentorship to junior engineers while maintaining IC responsibilities
• Collaborative, engineering‑driven environment focused on advanced aerospace manufacturing

• Work on cutting‑edge aerospace technologies with high impact on product performance
• Opportunity to own and optimize critical manufacturing processes
• Be part of a highly specialized engineering environment
• Access to career growth, professional development, and comprehensive benefits
