Job description

$70 million in new equipment, a team that trusts you, and problems worth solving: sound like your kind of shop?

Job Summary:

We are hiring a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join a precision machining operation that builds some of the most technically demanding components in general aviation. This is a first-shift, fully onsite role based in Mobile, Alabama - and it is built for someone who is equally comfortable reviewing CMM data at a workstation and standing next to a 5-axis machining center making real-time program adjustments. You will own production processes, close the gap between engineering and the shop floor, and be a key player in continuous improvement and new product development efforts. This is a long‑term seat at a well‑capitalized, growing operation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support daily production machining operations: troubleshoot issues, adjust CNC programs and toolpaths, and keep the floor running at spec.
• Review CMM data and apply statistical methods to evaluate and improve processes, integrating findings into MES work instructions.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives with a Lean Manufacturing focus, identifying opportunities across assigned cells and equipment.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with engineering, planning, operations, and quality to solve problems and advance new product development projects.
• Develop and modify CNC programs (G-code, macro variable logic) to support ongoing and new production activities.
