Job Description

Join a respected aerospace tooling and precision manufacturing company as a Process Engineer. In this role, you’ll be the go-to person for keeping jobs moving through the shop—expediting processes, solving bottlenecks, and ensuring production hits quality and delivery targets. You’ll work closely with the Shop Manager, direct a small team of machinists, and apply your hands-on machining or tooling expertise to keep work flowing. You will also assist in estimating repeat jobs and help review jobs for profitability. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-precision manufacturing environment and enjoy problem-solving on the floor, this role offers the opportunity to make an immediate difference.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee day-to-day shop floor operations and expedite production processes
  • Collaborate with machinists, toolmakers, and leadership to remove bottlenecks
  • Review and optimize manufacturing processes for efficiency and quality
  • Provide input on tooling, setups, and programming approaches (no coding required, but must understand process)
  • Assist with estimating repeat jobs
  • Light assembly
  • Maintain focus on aerospace-quality standards and documentation requirements
  • Direct and mentor a small team of shop employees

    • Qualifications and Requirements

  • Strong machining or tooling background—preferably in aerospace or defense manufacturing
  • Familiarity with CNC programming concepts (no degree required)
  • Hands-on problem-solving ability and process improvement mindset
  • Experience in a production environment with complex assemblies and tight tolerances
  • Ability to work onsite and collaborate directly with shop leadership and team

    • Benefits and Perks

  • $80,000 – $100,000 annual salary (open to more for exceptional talent)
  • POS medical insurance (70 / 30 employer / employee split)
  • 10 days PTO to start
  • Onsite role with direct impact on production performance
  • Stable, long-standing business with strong customer relationships

    • Your New Organization

    Join a privately owned precision tooling and assembly company with deep roots in the aerospace and defense sectors. With vendor codes in place and strong long-term customers, they’ve earned their place in a competitive niche and are looking for a leader to elevate performance and operations. Culture is hands-on, entrepreneurial, and family-run—with a need for someone who can bring structure, improve systems, and rally top-tier machinists and designers around a shared vision.
