Processing Engineer - CNC Machining & Aerospace

Job Description

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
