Process Engineer - Aerospace Manufacturing | Day 1 Benefits

Job Description

Job Description

Location: Meriden, CT

Compensation: Competitive Salary + Benefits & 401K Eligibility Day #1

**Must live within a commutable distance to the plant, no relocation package offered.

We are seeking a Process Engineer to support high-precision aerospace manufacturing in Connecticut’s fast-paced, innovation-driven production environment. This is a hands-on, shop-floor engineering role where you will directly influence quality, yield, efficiency, and process stability across complex aerospace components.

If you thrive in a tight-tolerance, high-accountability environment and enjoy solving real manufacturing problems—not just writing reports—this is where your impact is immediate and visible.

What You Will Do

As a Process Engineer, you will own and improve manufacturing processes from launch through production:

• Develop, validate, and optimize aerospace manufacturing processes
• Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective action for process variation and scrap reduction
• Partner with CNC machinists, quality, and production teams to improve first-pass yield (FPY)
• Create and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and control plans
• Support tooling, fixture, and method development
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean / Six Sigma principles
• Analyze production data to improve cycle time, cost, and throughput
• Ensure compliance with AS9100 / aerospace quality standards

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related field)
• 5+ years in manufacturing or aerospace process engineering (or high-precision machining environment)
• Strong understanding of CNC machining, GD&T, or fabrication processes
• Experience with process control, validation, or continuous improvement
• Strong problem-solving skills using data, metrics, and structured RCA
• Ability to thrive on the shop floor in a fast-paced production environment

Preferred (Not Required)

• Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience
• Lean Six Sigma certification
• Experience with AS9100 environments
• Exposure to tooling design or CNC programming

Why This Role Stands Out in Connecticut Aerospace

This is not a “desk-only engineering role.” You will be directly embedded in production, where decisions immediately impact:

• Aircraft engine performance
• Flight-critical components
• Defense manufacturing output
