  • 1st Shift | Monday - Friday | 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM


We are seeking a Process Engineer to support high-precision aerospace manufacturing in an innovation-driven production environment. This hands-on, shop-floor engineering role offers the opportunity to directly impact quality, yield, efficiency, and process stability across complex aerospace components.


What You Will Do

As a Process Engineer, you will own and improve manufacturing processes from launch through production:

  • Develop, validate, and optimize aerospace manufacturing processes
  • Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective action for process variation and scrap reduction
  • Partner with CNC machinists, quality, and production teams to improve first-pass yield (FPY)
  • Create and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and control plans
  • Support tooling, fixture, and method development
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean / Six Sigma principles
  • Analyze production data to improve cycle time, cost, and throughput
  • Ensure compliance with AS9100 / aerospace quality standards

 

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related field)
  • 5+ years in manufacturing or aerospace process engineering (or high-precision machining environment)
  • Strong understanding of CNC machining, GD&T, or fabrication processes
  • Experience with process control, validation, or continuous improvement
  • Strong problem-solving skills using data, metrics, and structured RCA
  • Ability to thrive on the shop floor in a fast-paced production environment

 

Preferred (Not Required)

  • Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience
  • Lean Six Sigma certification
  • Experience with AS9100 environments
  • Exposure to tooling design or CNC programming

 Why This Role Stands Out 

This is not a “desk-only engineering role.” You will be directly embedded in production, where decisions immediately impact:

  • Aircraft engine performance
  • Flight-critical components
  • Defense manufacturing output

Apply Now!

Join a team where quality matters, your expertise is valued, and your work helps support critical aerospace programs.
