• Troubleshoot shop floor processes, tooling, and equipment to resolve production issues.

• Design tooling and fixtures for new products and improve existing manufacturing processes.

• Create engineering drawings and operation sheets for new parts.

• Collaborate with customers, machine operators, vendors, and internal engineering teams.

• Review and implement manufacturing drawings and engineering change notices.

• Evaluate product specifications and technical data to determine manufacturing feasibility.

• Analyze production data and reports to verify designs meet specifications and quality requirements.

• Reduce waste and improve production capacity, efficiency, and consistency through continuous improvement initiatives.

• Apply structured problem-solving, setup reduction, process standardization, mistake-proofing, and tooling optimization techniques.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of aerospace manufacturing engineering experience preferred.

• Degree in engineering, metallurgy, or materials science preferred.

• Machining or CNC manufacturing background strongly preferred.

• Familiarity with ISO 9001 and AS9100D quality standards.

• Working knowledge of Mastercam, SolidWorks, and ERP systems.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to collaborate with engineering teams and production personnel to develop practical manufacturing solutions.

Benefits
