Processing Engineer

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
