Senior Manufacturing Process Engineer

Most process engineering roles give you a slice. This one gives you the whole thing.

Process documentation, equipment qualification, continuous improvement, MES ownership, DFM, factory layout, systems automation. At larger companies, those are five or six different people's jobs. At Avidyne, they're yours.

We're a mid-sized, vertically integrated avionics manufacturer based in Melbourne, FL. We build flight decks, traffic systems, and navigation products for general aviation and business aircraft. Our production team is small, which means the process engineer carries real weight here and has influence over how things are done.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

You'll own the manufacturing processes for our avionics hardware end to end. That means writing and maintaining the documentation, qualifying new processes and equipment, leading root cause investigations when things go wrong, and running our homegrown MES — configuration, data, user support, and the automations and integrations that keep it connected to the rest of our systems. It's a broad role that sits at the intersection of engineering and production, so the ability to work across both functions constructively matters as much as the technical skills.

Some days you're on the floor troubleshooting a soldering issue. Others you're in a design review pushing back on something that's going to be a nightmare to build. Engineers who thrive here tend to be the ones who get energized by that kind of variety, not overwhelmed by it.

WHAT YOU BRING

Required

• Bachelor's degree in manufacturing, industrial, mechanical, electrical engineering, computer science, or closely related discipline.
• 5+ years of process engineering experience in a regulated manufacturing environment; master's degree may substitute for up to two years.
• Breadth across multiple process areas, not just depth in one.
• Working knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-A-610, J-STD-001) and AS9100 requirements.
• Experience owning or administering an MES.
• Proficiency in SQL and working knowledge of relational database concepts.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript sufficient to develop and maintain web-based manufacturing tools.
• The ability to build working relationships across engineering and production, including when priorities don't align.

Helpful

• Aerospace, defense, EMS, medical device, or similarly regulated background.
• Lean or Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher).
• Familiarity with FAA PAH environments.
• CAD experience for tooling design.
• Experience with Oracle Application Express (APEX) or similar low-code platforms.
• Python or scripting experience.
