The posting

The Manufacturing Engineering Technician will play a critical role in supporting our manufacturing operations across machining, sheet-metal fabrication, and assembly. The ME Tech will focus on documenting processes, assisting in the resolution of technical issues, and collaborating with internal teams and our aerospace customers on quality and technical matters. This is a hands-on, technical role that bridges engineering, production, quality, and customer interface.

This role is identified as requiring ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) compliance; therefore, qualified candidates must meet the definition of a U.S. Person (per EAR Part 772 and ITAR 120.15):

An individual who is granted U.S. citizenship, or An individual who is granted U.S. permanent residence (i.e., a "Green Card" holder), or An individual who is granted status as a "protected person"

Interpret engineering drawings, 3D models, and specifications to develop accurate build processes. Collaborate with machining, fabrication, and assembly teams — including programming, setup, and operator training — to ensure processes are robust and capable. Support first article builds and collaborates with engineering to resolve manufacturability issues. Drive cost-reduction initiatives through process improvement, material usage optimization, scrap/rework reduction, and efficient tooling design. Lead root-cause investigations for manufacturing quality issues (yield losses, scrap, rework, non-conformances) in machining, sheet-metal fabrication, and assembly. Work directly with aerospace customers (internal or external) on quality and technical issues: respond to customer Q & NCRs, support customer audits and reviews, lead corrective/preventive actions (CAPAs), ensure customer requirements and specifications are met. Participate in continuous improvement programs (Lean, 5S, Six Sigma) and lead small projects to improve process flow, reduce waste, and enhance safety and ergonomics. Document and maintain process flows, engineering change notices (ECNs), control plans, FMEAs, inspection plans, and ensure compliance with aerospace quality standards (such as AS9100). May design and specify production tooling, fixtures, inspection jigs, and gauges to support manufacturing and quality control. May utilize CAD systems (e.g., CATIA or equivalent) to model tooling, fixtures, process layouts, and assist engineering in part design for manufacturability (DFM).

Minimum Qualifications

5+ years of experience in aerospace manufacturing, machining, sheet metal fabrication, or mechanical assembly. Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and technical specifications. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); familiarity with Teams/SharePoint is helpful.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
