Why this job is worth considering

Aerodyn Engineering is looking for a Manufacturing Process Engineer to help the manufacturing department plan smarter, quote sharper, and run more efficiently. You’ll build the job routers that turn a print into a manufacturing plan — accurate estimations, the right machine selections, and work instructions the shop floor can actually execute — while helping resolve the day-to-day scheduling and priority calls that keep production moving. It’s a role with real influence: your routers set the standard the floor works from, and you’re involved across the full lifecycle of a job, from quoting through execution. Aerodyn builds tight-tolerance, first-run aerospace and defense hardware, and is AS9100D & ISO 9001:2015 certified.

What you'll be doing

• Build proficient, high-quality, cost-effective job routers — including accurate time estimations, machine selections, and detailed work instructions
• Review historical quotes for similar/exact parts and their variations, assessing profitability for accurate quoting and routing practices
• Support project engineers by joining project kick-off meetings as needed, providing technical support to the team
• Help resolve scheduling and priority conflicts at machining centers, communicating changes to supporting personnel
• Assist CNC Programmers with tooling purchases for released job routers, as necessary
• Review quote data to ensure it's processed by customer due dates, allowing time for management review
• Create, document, and implement continuous improvement procedures to support growth within the manufacturing department
• Mentor and motivate a positive shop floor culture

What we're looking for

• Able to translate a print into a router that's accurate, efficient, and easy for the floor to follow
• Comfortable under pressure — quoting deadlines and schedule conflicts don't rattle you
• Self-directed and able to deliver under pressure, meeting customer and management deadlines
• A highly motivated self-starter, comfortable operating independently and with a team
• Detail-oriented enough to catch a profitability or estimation issue before it becomes a bigger problem
• Able to act professionally at all times
• Able to comply with the role's physical requirements

Pay, benefits and schedule

Pay is $90,000–$130,000+/year, depending on experience (+for the right candidate). Candidates with advanced experience or specialized expertise may be considered above the posted range. 1st shift, Monday through Friday. Benefits include:

• Quarterly Bonus Incentives
• Weekly Paychecks
• Competitive Industry Wages
• Paid Time Off
• Paid Sick/Medical Time Off
• 9 Paid Holidays
• Active Insurance Benefits Within Your First Month
• Wide Range of Medical Plans, including 100% employer-paid options
