We are seeking a Process Engineer to support high-precision aerospace manufacturing in Connecticut’s fast-paced, innovation-driven production environment. This is a hands-on, shop-floor engineering role where you will directly influence quality, yield, efficiency, and process stability across complex aerospace components.
If you thrive in a tight-tolerance, high-accountability environment and enjoy solving real manufacturing problems—not just writing reports—this is where your impact is immediate and visible.
What You Will Do
As a Process Engineer, you will own and improve manufacturing processes from launch through production:
-
Develop, validate, and optimize aerospace manufacturing processes
-
Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective action for process variation and scrap reduction
-
Partner with CNC machinists, quality, and production teams to improve first-pass yield (FPY)
-
Create and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and control plans
-
Support tooling, fixture, and method development
-
Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean / Six Sigma principles
-
Analyze production data to improve cycle time, cost, and throughput
-
Ensure compliance with AS9100 / aerospace quality standards
What You Bring
-
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related field)
-
5+ years in manufacturing or aerospace process engineering (or high-precision machining environment)
-
Strong understanding of CNC machining, GD&T, or fabrication processes
-
Experience with process control, validation, or continuous improvement
-
Strong problem-solving skills using data, metrics, and structured RCA
-
Ability to thrive on the shop floor in a fast-paced production environment
Preferred (Not Required)
-
Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience
-
Lean Six Sigma certification
-
Experience with AS9100 environments
-
Exposure to tooling design or CNC programming
Why This Role Stands Out in Connecticut Aerospace
This is not a “desk-only engineering role.” You will be directly embedded in production, where decisions immediately impact:
-
Aircraft engine performance
-
Flight-critical components
-
Defense manufacturing output
