About The Role

Aerodyn Engineering is looking for a Manufacturing Process Engineer to help our manufacturing department plan smarter, quote sharper, and run more efficiently. You'll build the job routers that turn a print into a manufacturing plan accurate estimations, the right machine selections, and work instructions the shop floor can actually execute while helping resolve the day-to-day scheduling and priority calls that keep production moving.

What You'll Do

• Be responsible for proficient, high-quality, cost-effective job routers — including accurate time estimations, machine selections, and detailed work instructions.
• Review historical quotes for similar/exact parts and their variations, reviewing profitability for accurate quoting/routing practices.
• Support project engineers by participating in project kick-off meetings as needed, ensuring technical support is provided to the team.
• Assist the manufacturing team in resolving scheduling and priority conflicts at machining centers, communicating all changes to supporting personnel.

• A skilled, experienced team of machinists and CNC programmers to work alongside.
• Involvement across the full lifecycle of a job: quoting, routing, scheduling, and execution.

Requirements

• Must be self-directed and able to deliver under pressure, meeting customer and management deadlines.

• Must demonstrate the ability to act professionally.
• Ability to comply with physical requirements (see job description).
