• Develop fixturing, tooling, and CNC programs for grinding turbine engine components, and support new equipment installs at the facility.
• Partner with Operations and Quality to deliver perfect-part quality on time, every time.
• Apply Lean and CI tools to optimize processes, drive measurable business impact, and build KPIs that keep performance on track.
• Own the technical lifecycle of assigned components and processes — from concept through production — including troubleshooting, sustaining improvements, and training.
• Collaborate across engineering, operations, and quality teams to hit site Safety, Quality, and Production targets.
• Write clear technical reports, specs, and procedures, and mentor less-experienced engineers and technicians.

Requirements

• BS in Engineering (Mechanical or Aerospace preferred) with 2+ years of CNC experience.
• Hands-on experience with multi-axis grinding or milling (Makino, Blohm, or similar) and a solid understanding of G/M code is preferred.
• Experience in 3D CAD and CAM programming (Siemens NX is preferred).
• Familiarity with fixturing/tooling design and a variety of measurement techniques (CMM, white-light/laser scanning, gages).
• Working knowledge of gas turbine and airfoil manufacturing (casting, machining, inspection) is preferred.

Qualifications

• Knowledge of FAA PMA and RS-DER requirements, plus program management fundamentals.
• Strong, thoughtful communicator who thrives in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team.

Skills

• Technical writing and reporting skills.
• Problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities.
