Manufacturing Process Engineer

Position Summary The Process Engineer is responsible for developing, implementing, and optimizing manufacturing processes used to produce precision aerospace components. This role ensures compliance with strict industry standards, improves efficiency, and supports high-quality, repeatable production.

Key Responsibilities Process Development & Improvement Develop and optimize manufacturing processes for aerospace components (CNC machining, finishing, assembly)
Define tooling, fixturing, and process parameters to meet tight tolerances

Reduce cycle times, improve yields, and minimize scrap

Programming & Technical Support Support or create CNC programs using CAM software

Troubleshoot machining and process issues (tool wear, chatter, dimensional variation)
Provide hands-on support to machinists and production teams

Quality & Compliance Ensure compliance with aerospace standards such as AS9100 and customer requirements

Develop and maintain process documentation (work instructions, control plans)
Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for non-conformances

Continuous Improvement Apply Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles

Analyze process capability (Cp/Cpk) and implement improvements

Lead cost reduction and efficiency initiatives

Cross-Functional Collaboration Work with Design Engineering on manufacturability (DFM)
Collaborate with Quality, Production, and Supply Chain teams

Interface with customers and auditors as needed

Equipment & Tooling Evaluate and implement new CNC equipment, tooling, and technologies

Support capital projects and process validation

Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent experience)3–7 years of experience in aerospace or precision machining
