This is more than a manufacturing engineering role—it’s a chance to redefine how a growing aerospace and defense supplier approaches cost, quality, and scalability. As the Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will be at the forefront of a digital transformation, moving the organization from tribal knowledge to a robust, data‑driven framework that informs every business decision. Your impact will be felt across quoting, pricing, margin analysis, and operational strategy, making you a key player in the company’s future success.

In this position, you will dive deep into the production floor, analyzing and optimizing processes for rubber, plastic, and composite components used in critical defense applications. You’ll lead the charge on complex automation projects, design fixtures, and implement systems that enhance repeatability and quality. Every day, you’ll collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure new products are launched seamlessly and existing lines run at peak performance. Your expertise in DOE, statistical analysis, and ERP systems will be central to turning raw data into actionable manufacturing intelligence.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on engineer with 5 to 10 years of experience who has a passion for process improvement and a track record of leading change. You are analytical, comfortable with both the shop floor and the boardroom, and skilled at translating complex technical challenges into clear business outcomes. You have a degree in engineering, strong skills in solid modeling and data tools like Excel or Power BI, and a history of successful automation projects. Most importantly, you are ready to step into a role with high visibility and a direct path to engineering management.

If you’re looking for a role where your work directly shapes the company’s bottom line and sets you up for rapid career advancement, this is it. You’ll report to a mentor who is known for developing talent, and you’ll be on a trajectory to VP‑level responsibilities. The company is eager to hire—apply today to start a conversation and see how you can make your mark in a confidential, high‑impact manufacturing environment.
