Industrial Engineer

What You'll Own

• Develop and maintain Manufacturing Process Plans (MPPs) and Work Instructions for new and existing jobs, from entry-level assignments up through the most complex, high-risk programs on the floor (scope scales with your level).
• Build and own Quality Control Plans (QCPs), in-process inspection criteria, and First Article Inspection (FAI) packages in coordination with Quality.
• Select and specify tooling and fixturing for assigned operations; work directly with the floor on implementation and iterate based on real feedback and data.
• Coordinate job launches with Programming; ensure every process package is complete before first article runs.
• Identify process improvement opportunities and implement changes that move yield, cycle time, or cost in the right direction.
• Lead or support root cause and corrective action investigations for non-conformances with an engineering root cause, and contribute to DFM reviews and quoting for new business as you advance.

What We Build

Delva is an AS9100 Rev D certified CNC machine shop in Cinnaminson, NJ, producing precision aerospace and defense components to tolerances of ±0.0002". We work primarily in aluminum and a range of exotic alloys, including titanium, stainless steel, and tool steels. Our facility runs two shifts across Vertical Mills, Lathes, Swiss Lathes, and Mazak 5-axis horizontals with robotic loaders and automated pallet systems. This is not a generic job shop: the programs we run are high-stakes, the tolerances are real, and the documentation you create directly affects whether parts ship on time and to spec.

What You Bring

Must-have:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on work experience for Level 1).
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T callouts, and technical specifications.
• 2+ years of relevant experience in a manufacturing or process engineering role for Level 2; 5+ years for Level 3.
• Comfort working across functions: you'll spend as much time on the floor and in conversations with Quality and Programming as you will at your desk.
• Attention to detail that shows up in the work, not just as a resume line.
• Familiarity with ITAR data handling requirements and basic document control practices.

Nice-to-have:

• Prior experience in aerospace or defense CNC machining environments.
• Hands-on knowledge of MPP or process planning software, ERP systems, or structured work instruction platforms.
• Experience supporting AS9100 audits, source inspections, or first article reviews.
• Background in tooling selection, fixturing design, or DFM analysis.
• Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline (a plus for Level 3 candidates).
