About the Role

Aerodyn Engineering is looking for a Manufacturing Process Engineer to help our 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 parts moving.

What You'll Do

\n
• Be responsible for proficient, high-quality, cost-effective job routers. This is including accurate time estimations, machine selections, and detailed work instructions based on customer prints/models.
\n
• Review historical quotes for similar/exact parts and their variations, reviewing profitability for accurate quoting/routing practices.
\n
• Support project engineers by participating in project kick-off meetings as needed, ensuring technical support is provided to the team.
\n
• Assist the manufacturing team in resolving scheduling and priority conflicts at machining centers, communicating all changes to supporting personnel.
\n
• Assist CNC Programmers with tooling purchases for all released job routers, as necessary.
\n
• Review and ensure quote data is processed timely by customer due dates, allowing time for management review.
\n
• Create, document, develop, and implement continuous improvement procedures/initiatives to support successful growth within the manufacturing department.
\n
• Mentor and motivate a positive shop floor culture at all times.
\n

What Makes You a Fit

\n
• You can translate a print into a router that's accurate, efficient, and easy for the floor to follow.
\n
• You're comfortable under pressure: quoting deadlines and schedule conflicts don't rattle you.
\n
• You're a self-starter who can operate independently, but you're just as effective pulling a team together.
\n
• You naturally mentor and motivate the people around you rather than just managing tasks.
\n
• You're detail-oriented enough to catch a profitability or estimation issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
\n

What You'll Have

\n
• Direct influence over how work actually gets built — your routers set the standard the floor works from.
\n
• A skilled, experienced team of machinists and CNC programmers to work alongside.
\n
• Involvement across the full lifecycle of a job: quoting, routing, scheduling, and execution.
\n

Requirements

\n
• Must be self-directed and able to deliver under pressure, meeting customer and management deadlines.
\n
• Must be a highly motivated self-starter, comfortable operating independently and with a team.
\n
• Must demonstrate the ability to act professionally.
\n
• Experience in job shop/non-production environment including multiple set ups daily.
