Job description

Manufacturing Engineer-Relocation Available

Starkville, MS| $130,000–$150,000 salary | Up to 10% bonus

Compensation: Up to 10% bonus | Relocation/sign-on support available

Schedule: Full-Time | Onsite Manufacturing Environment

About the Opportunity

We7re partnering with a growing manufacturer that supports highly technical, build-to-print production for advanced defense programs. This is a strong opportunity for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who knows how to take complex products from engineering release into real production.

This role is ideal for someone who has worked around machining, welding, fabrication, and assembly and enjoys being close to the floor, solving production problems, improving processes, and helping teams build highly precise defense-related components the right way.

They4re looking for someone who can be both technical and practical - not just someone who sits behind a desk. The right candidate will know how to write work instructions, support new product launches, improve flow, work with operators, and drive manufacturing improvements in a fast-moving production environment.

What You4ll Be Doing

• Develop and improve manufacturing processes for build-to-print aerospace and defense components
• Create clear work instructions, travelers, process documentation, and production support materials
• Support new product introduction/NPI and help move programs from prototype or early-stage production into full-rate manufacturing
• Work closely with production, quality, engineering, supply chain, and leadership to resolve issues on the floor
• Support manufacturing of machined parts, welded assemblies, fabricated components, and complex mechanical assemblies
• Create and maintain BOMs, assembly layouts, production layouts, and process flows
• Identify bottlenecks, quality concerns, and efficiency gaps, then help put real solutions in place
• Lead or support Lean, Kaizen, and continuous improvement projects
• Help standardize processes so production teams can build consistently, safely, and efficiently
• Act as a hands-on technical resource for manufacturing teams across machining, welding, fabrication, and assembly operations

What They4re Looking For

• 7+ years of manufacturing engineering experience
• Experience in aerospace, defense, precision manufacturing, or complex metal fabrication
• Strong background with machining, welding, fabrication, and assembly processes
• Ability to create and improve work instructions, BOMs, process plans, and production layouts
• Experience supporting NPI, production ramp-up, and manufacturing problem-solving
• Strong understanding of Lean, Kaizen, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement
• Bachelor7s degree in Engineering preferred
• Associate7s degree in Engineering Technology may be considered with strong hands-on experience
• Someone who is comfortable being visible on the production floor and working directly with operators, technicians, engineers, and quality teams

Why You4ll Love It There

Youll be joining a company where your work directly supports important aerospace and defense manufacturing programs. This is not a narrow desk-only engineering role - it9s a chance to have real ownership over process development, production improvement, and manufacturing execution.

Employees can expect:

• Strong compensation: $130K–$150K
• Up to 10% bonus opportunity
• High-impact aerospace and defense work
• Hands-on engineering environment with real production visibility
• Opportunity to improve processes, layouts, work instructions, and manufacturing flow
• Exposure to machining, welding, fabrication, assembly, and advanced defense-related production
• A role where practical problem-solving and floor presence are valued
• Long-term opportunity with a growing manufacturing operation
