Job description
Join a trusted aerospace manufacturer through TekPro
TekPro is the recruiting partner for a respected aerospace components manufacturer. We are hiring an on-site manufacturing engineer focused on new product introduction, process optimization, and measurable gains in quality and productivity. Expect close collaboration with production, quality, and customer engineering teams and a highly hands-on scope.
The opportunity
Shape how precision aerospace parts are made by architecting machining processes end-to-end. From translating customer requirements to designing workholding, sequencing operations, and supporting the shop floor, you will ensure repeatable, cost-effective performance that satisfies both internal metrics and customer expectations.
Impact you will make
- Build accurate ERP records including BOMs, routings, and item masters
- Evaluate new-part contracts to determine materials, documentation, and required flow-downs
- Turn drawings, prints, specifications, and requirements into lean, capable processes
- Apply GD&T and in-process control plans while drafting clear work instructions
- Interface with customers to resolve ambiguities and propose design-for-manufacture improvements
- Troubleshoot and resolve tooling, fixturing, and machining challenges on the floor
- Design and refine fixtures, workholding, and tooling that meet production and quality needs
- Create process drawings and comprehensive, step-by-step work instructions
- Support estimating by assessing process steps, tolerances, and manufacturability risks
- Flow internal, customer, and regulatory requirements to suppliers and vendors
- Lead and participate in root cause investigations, corrective actions, and continuous improvement
- Stabilize and sustain repeat jobs by preserving process consistency
- Keep an orderly workspace and demonstrate dependable, positive work habits
- Strengthen the Quality Management System via compliant, improvement-minded practices
- Collaborate across functions and with supplier partners to deliver results
What you bring
- BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent, practical manufacturing process engineering background
- Fluency in reading customer drawings, specs, GD&T, and manufacturing documentation
- 4+ years with CAD/CAM tools such as Mastercam, Unigraphics, or SolidWorks
- Proven capability in workholding and fixturing design and tooling selection
- Expertise in sequencing part processes to achieve quality, cost, and throughput targets
- Hands-on troubleshooting of fixturing, tooling, machining strategies, and process flow
- 5+ years in CNC machining or precision fabrication environments
- ERP proficiency, including creating and maintaining BOMs, routings, and item masters
- Experience collaborating with customers and cross-functional teams on technical topics
How we work
On-site, shoulder-to-shoulder with operations, this role is both technical and practical. You will be a central connector between the customer, production, quality, and suppliers, ensuring every process is documented, controlled, and continuously improved.
