The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will be a key technical contributor within the Advanced Manufacturing Team, with primary responsibility for enabling machining-centric manufacturability of turbine airfoils and related manufacturing tooling (injection molds, machining fixtures, inspection fixtures, etc.) from early design through production deployment. This role will focus heavily on advanced 4- and 5-axis machining, supporting design for manufacturability (DFM), inspection strategy development, and establishment of robust manufacturing methods across Chromalloy's global sites.

The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on experience with complex airfoil and tooling machining, strong proficiency in NX CAD/CAM modeling, and the ability to bridge design intent, machining strategy, and inspection planning. Familiarity with gas turbine operation and airfoil coating systems is preferred to enable informed decisions across the full component lifecycle.

What You'll Do

Design & Manufacturability

• Lead DFM for 4- and 5-axis airfoil machining, influencing geometry, tolerances, and datum strategies for stable, repeatable production
• Identify machining-driven NPI risk early and support toolpath and strategy development with site teams

NX Modeling & Manufacturing Models

• Build manufacturing-friendly models (split lines, stock, feature definitions) and evaluate turbine tooling designs using advanced manufacturing methods
• Serve as NX subject matter expert across manufacturing and inspection applications

Inspection Strategy

• Define inspection strategies in lockstep with manufacturing; develop datum schemes supporting both machining stability and downstream inspection
• Support CMM programming, scan strategies, FAI planning, and partner with Quality and Metrology on cost and cycle time

Site Coordination & Method Development

• Partner with global sites to establish methods, validate process capability, and transfer machining and inspection intent
• Support troubleshooting through launch and ramp-up; guide process qualification and method approval

Technical Leadership

• Drive structured problem-solving to improve yield, cycle time, and process robustness across programs and sites
• Mentor junior engineers in DFM, NX modeling, and manufacturing fundamentals

What You Bring

• Bachelors in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering
• 8+ years of experience in aerospace or industrial gas turbine manufacturing, with a strong portion in airfoil…
