Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Turbomachinery Balancing
About the role
Mach Industries is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Turbomachinery Balancing to establish, qualify, and scale balancing processes for our turbomachinery hardware. This role will support turbine wheels, compressor impellers and blisks, shafts, and complete rotating assemblies, taking balancing operations from development builds through repeatable production. You will own the balancing process, including equipment selection and commissioning, tooling development, measurement validation, balance correction, and production implementation. We are looking for someone who has personally set up balancing stations, worked directly with rotating hardware, and demonstrated that the equipment, tooling, and process can consistently meet engineering requirements. Working closely with Design Engineering, CNC Manufacturing, Quality, Test, and Automation, you will build a reliable internal balancing capability and translate specialized technical knowledge into robust processes that technicians can execute at production rate.
Responsibilities
- Lead the specification, selection, installation, and qualification of balancing stations and associated equipment, including supplier coordination, factory acceptance testing, and site commissioning.
- Develop and validate component-level and assembly-level balancing processes for turbine wheels, compressor components, shafts, and complete rotating groups.
- Design, specify, and qualify balancing arbors, mandrels, collets, supports, and related fixtures, with emphasis on alignment, datum control, and repeatable part loading.
- Establish calibration, verification, and measurement-system evaluation methods that demonstrate the capability of the complete balancing
