#ManufacturingEngineer #AerospaceManufacturing #MRBEngineer

Job Overview:
We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with hands-on experience in aerospace or precision rework environments, specifically involving lathes, mills, grinders, and tight-tolerance hardware. This role provides centralized support for high-priority military production programs, with a heavy focus on Material Review Board (MRB) activities and the creation of rework instructions to drive timely resolution of nonconforming hardware and aged Work-In-Progress (WIP).
The ideal candidate will bring direct, practical experience reworking complex machined parts, as well as the ability to analyze technical issues, interpret metrology data, and author effective rework instructions in alignment with engineering intent and quality standards.

Responsibilities:
* Lead or support Material Review Board (MRB) processes: submit, track, disposition, and document MRB cases, especially related to aged WIP
* Write clear, accurate, and technically sound rework instructions for nonconforming parts and assemblies
* Work closely with quality, engineering, and production teams to ensure dispositioned hardware is effectively routed for rework, repair, or scrap
* Interpret CMM reports, technical drawings, and measurement data to inform rework plans
* Conduct root cause and corrective action (RCCA) analysis, and help close quality loops
* Support shop floor engineering tasks, assist with rework planning, and contribute to overall production flow improvements
* Provide technical guidance on general rework processes, including the use of lathes, milling machines, and grinders
* Track and document aged WIP and nonconformance activities to support reporting and escalation when needed

Core Qualifications:
* Practical, hands-on experience operating or overseeing CNC/manual lathes, mills, and grinders, especially in a rework or repair context
* Familiarity with tight-tolerance machining and inspection of complex aerospace or high-performance components
* Proficiency using metrology tools: calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, optical comparators, and interpreting CMM printouts
* Experience with MRB processes and documentation of nonconformances
* Demonstrated ability to write rework instructions in coordination with quality and production teams
* Working knowledge of GD&T and structured problem solving (e.g. RCCA, 5-Why, fishbone)
* Strong communication, technical writing, and cross-functional collaboration skills
* U.S. Citizenship required due to contractual and export control requirements

Preferred Traits & Skills:
* Background as a machinist, technician, or hands-on operator who transitioned into engineering
* Experience in repair/overhaul or sustainment environments is a strong plus
* Product Release Certification (PR) or eligibility to obtain
* Proactive and self-directed with strong attention to detail
* Comfortable with administrative documentation and configuration control
* Passion for precision, quality, and process discipline
