We offer advanced training, ongoing professional development, and a rewarding compensation package for the right candidate. If you thrive in a hands-on, collaborative environment and want to make a tangible impact, we want to talk to you!

What You’ll Do:



    	

  • Tackle complex engineering and manufacturing challenges by developing and implementing advanced machining solutions.

    	

  • Partner with operators, technicians, and suppliers to analyze processes and drive innovative improvements.

    	

  • Advance production efficiency by increasing machining productivity and reducing non-value-added activities.

    	

  • Lead and apply Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles to optimize quality and workflow.

    	

  • Coordinate cross-functional input and recommend and implement changes for company-wide manufacturing efficiency.

    	

  • Develop, design, and source tooling and fixtures for new products and manufacturing needs.

    	

  • Identify and resolve issues related to safety, quality, productivity, and cost.

    	

  • Document new processes and engineering procedures, sharing your specialized knowledge to elevate the whole team.

    	

  • Contribute to project teams, represent the company on high-profile projects, and help mentor entry-level engineers.

    	

  • Meet critical schedules and uphold rigorous quality standards.

What You Bring:



    	

  • Hands-on experience with CNC turning and milling programming, and a strong track record of machining success.

    	

  • Experience working with tight tolerances, g-code programming, blueprint reading, and (preferably) aerospace manufacturing.

    	

  • Solid understanding of Lean manufacturing and quality systems.

    	

  • Ability to develop process documentation and communicate clearly with cross-functional teams, customers, and suppliers.

    	

  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, with experience in CAD/CAM software (SolidWorks, Partsmaker, Featurecam, MasterCam) highly desirable.

    	

  • Familiarity with CNC controls such as Fanuc, Seiki, and OSP is a plus.

    	

  • Technical and practical approach with a passion for continuous improvement.

    	

  • Effective mentorship and peer communication skills.

    	

  • A formal engineering degree is advantageous but not required—practical machining experience is highly valued.

    	

  • Proficiency in English required.

What We Offer:



    	

  • Competitive salary: $85,000–$150,000 per year, based on experience

    	

  • Comprehensive benefits including:

    	• 401(k)

    	• Health, dental, and vision insurance

    	• Health savings account

    	• Life insurance
