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.

Shift Options

1st Shift: Monday through Friday

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.
• Assist CNC Programmers with tooling purchases for all released job routers, as necessary.
• Review and ensure quote data is processed timely by customer due dates, allowing time for management review.
• Create, document, develop, and implement continuous improvement procedures/initiatives to support successful growth within the manufacturing department.
• Mentor and motivate a positive shop floor culture at all times.
  
  

What Makes You a Fit

• You can translate a print into a router that’s accurate, efficient, and easy for the floor to follow.
• You’re comfortable under pressure: quoting deadlines and schedule conflicts don’t rattle you.
• You’re a self-starter who can operate independently, but you’re just as effective pulling a team together.
• You naturally mentor and motivate the people around you rather than just managing tasks.
• You’re detail-oriented enough to catch a profitability or estimation issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
  
  

What You’ll Have

• Direct influence over how work actually gets built — your routers set the standard the floor works from.
• 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 be a highly motivated self-starter, comfortable operating independently and with a team.
• Must demonstrate the ability to act professionally.
• Ability to comply with physical requirements (see job description).
