Salary: $90k-$140k DOE

Requirements: 5+ years in hands on Manufacturing, CNC Programming/Machining, 5-Axis, GD&T, Mastercam, Solidworks, Fanuc Controls

Position Overview
A fast-growing, engineering-driven aerospace manufacturing startup is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to help build and scale next-generation production systems for complex flight hardware (rockets and satellites).
This is a high-impact role within a small, elite team, where you'll own projects end-to-end and contribute directly to the development of a modern, highly automated precision manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize manufacturing processes for complex, tight-tolerance components and assemblies
• Design process flows, tooling, and fixtures to improve repeatability, efficiency, and throughput
• Create and verify G-code and post-processed programs for Haas, Fanuc, Siemens and other controls; perform CNC simulation and dry-run verifications prior to shop implementation.
• Design and specify tooling, workholding, fixtures, and cutting tools; collaborate with tool vendors to select optimal solutions for productivity and repeatability.
• Troubleshoot machining issues at the machine and process levels, performing root cause analysis and implementing corrective and preventive actions.
• Develop and document standard work, process plans, setup sheets, and control plans consistent with APQP and PFMEA inputs and Collaborate cross-functionally with production, quality, and operations teams.
• Program and refine CAM strategies (3-5 axis machining, mill/turn)
• Collaborate with quality and metrology teams to ensure parts meet GD&T requirements; support CMM programming and SPC data collection for process control.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma and other problem-solving tools to realize cycle time reduction and process optimization.
• Assist in ERP/MRP operations (SAP preferred) for routing, work instructions, and production scheduling; maintain accurate process documentation and change control.
• Support automation projects including robotics integration, PLC interfaces and industrial robot programming to improve throughput and ergonomics.
