Description
Engineer the Future. Own a Piece of It.
At GTC/Magna Machine, manufacturing engineers don't just sit behind a desk reviewing documents — they're in the middle of the action, influencing how defense and aerospace products come to life from the very first quote to the finished part. If you want your fingerprints on work that actually matters, this is where you belong.
And through our Ownership For All program, your contribution doesn't just benefit the company — it benefits you directly. Every eligible full-time employee receives an ownership stake in GTC. From day one, you're not just joining a team. You're becoming an owner. Your wins here are your wins everywhere.
What You'll Do
You'll be the connective tissue between customer requirements and shop floor execution. When a customer solicitation comes in, you're one of the first people on it — reviewing requests for quotes, sharpening your understanding of what the customer actually needs, and making sure the manufacturing and production control teams have everything they need to deliver.
From there, you'll design cost-effective routing through the shop, build out routers that get tools and materials moving efficiently, and look for every opportunity to expedite product without sacrificing quality. When machinists and fabricators hit a wall, they'll come to you — and you'll have answers. You'll identify fixturing and special tooling needs, troubleshoot process challenges, and provide the kind of technical guidance that keeps the floor moving and the customer happy.
This isn't a siloed role. You'll build real working relationships across every department, share your knowledge freely, and bring a genuinely collaborative energy to everything you do.
Requirements
What You Bring
A high school diploma or GED is required, but what really sets you apart is deep, hands-on experience in an engineering role where you've built things — through CNC machining or advanced fabrication. Aerospace or defense background puts you at the front of the line.
You have a working command of GD&T and blueprint reading. You solve problems methodically and communicate clearly with everyone from the shop floor to the front office. You're the kind of engineer who doesn't wait to be asked — you see a gap and you close it.
Please note that background checks and drug screening are part of the hiring process.
