Product Engineer I is an Early‑Career role supporting aerospace investment casting processes, building a foundational engineering skillset, and developing knowledge of the process through tasks and responsibilities such as process monitoring, part‑specific production maintenance, tooling support, and yield improvement. This position offers exposure to all areas and processes involved in manufacturing aerospace cast products in partnership with a mentor. As part of our 2-year graduate development program, participants will spend their first year in Oxford, AL before rotating to Groton, CT in year two, gaining valuable cross‑site experience and exposure to different teams, products, and manufacturing environments.

Process Engineer I is an Early‑Career role supporting aerospace investment casting processes, building a foundational engineering skillset while developing knowledge of the process through tasks and responsibilities such as process ownership, monitoring, and process control; process‑specific production maintenance; definition and execution of process methods and yield improvement. While this position offers exposure to all areas and processes involved in the manufacturing of aerospace cast products, the focus is on a subset of the manufacturing process and that function’s upstream and downstream consequences.

The role initially is in partnership with a mentor until autonomous performance is demonstrated.
