As a Senior Manufacturing Process Engineer, you'll:

• Develop manufacturing processes from concept through production
• Design fixtures, tooling, and machining strategies for complex precision components
• Create manufacturing models using CAD, scan data, engineering drawings, and customer specifications
• Improve manufacturing efficiency, quality, and cost through innovative engineering solutions
• Collaborate with CAM Programmers to develop optimal toolpaths and machining strategies
• Partner with Production, Quality, Engineering, and customers to solve manufacturing challenges
• Lead design reviews and manufacturability evaluations
• Develop process documentation, routings, work instructions, and bills of material
• Evaluate new tooling, workholding, machining technologies, and manufacturing methods
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on productivity, quality, and throughput
• Support project execution from quotation through production launch

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related field or equivalent manufacturing process engineering experience
• Five or more years of Process Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering experience
• Strong CAD/CAM experience
• Experience designing manufacturing processes for machined components
• Strong understanding of GD&T and blueprint interpretation
• Excellent project management and problem-solving skills
• Strong communication and leadership abilities
