The Senior Manufacturing Engineer is a subject matter expert (SME) for manufacturing processes of precision machined components. This role is responsible for the development of manufacturing methods and operation sheets created through the translation of customer technical data, specifications, and contracts.Client DetailsOur client is a contract manufacturer of precision machined components and assemblies for aerospace and other high technology industries. Our core processes include Swiss machining, turning, milling, thread rolling, centerless grinding, cylindrical grinding, honing, and assembly.Their extensive supply chain offers our customers a full service logistics solution for managing their precision product requirements. Their also perform value-added thread rolling, roll knurling, centerless grinding, and OD grinding services on customers supplied parts. They are a family owned, professionally managed, ISO9001:2015/AS9100 registered and proud of our 74 year, three-generation legacy of quality and performance.DescriptionMajor Areas Of Responsibility

• Read and interpret customer specifications for material properties, special processes (finishes, coatings, heat-treatments, etc.), part marking, geometric tolerances (GD&T), and other critical to quality features to manufacture the component.
• Create 3D models, 2D operational sheets and associated technical instructions to manufacture customer components according to specifications.
• Work with multiple sources of manufacturing and design data (ERP, MRP, CAD, CAM, CNC, etc.) to develop a complete and fully released engineering technical package to production floor (e.g.: Op Sheets / Traveler).
• Ensure manufacturing software (ERP/MRP) mirrors CAD data, bill of materials, and method sequence.
• Peer review of others work for compliance prior to release jobs to production.
• Adhere to engineering change management (ECO/ECR/ECN), control, and documentation standards.
• Real-time troubleshooting manufacturing issues on production floor.
• Evaluate potential non-conforming parts against customer specifications to make the necessary judge call to process as-is, rework parts, or scrap component/job.
• Optimize process cost, and costs components - labor, material, set-up, machine, inspection, etc.
• Conduct research through webinars, journals, periodicals, tradeshows, and apply lessons learn to the business.
• Provide training and peer support as the SME to provide a transfer of knowledge.
• Identify inefficiencies in a process; use leans tools and methodology to improve a process.
• Miscellaneous duties as assigned. ProfileRequirements
  • Associate degree in manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, or mechanical engineering preferred.
    • Certified Manufacturing Engineering through Society of Manufacturing Engineers or progressive work experience commensurate with degree also considered.
    • 10+ years' experience in manufacturing in a machining or contract manufacturing environment.
    • Subject expertise to read and enforce Aerospace customer blueprint/GD&T standards, special process specifications, raw material specification, and associated industry standards. Previous experience with RTX customers such as Collins Aerospace, Hamilton Sundstrand, Pratt & Whitney, preferable. Other OEM such as GE, Kaman, Sikorsky, etc., all considered.
    • Expertise at developing process sheets in one or more of the following manufacturing methods - multi-axis turning, Swiss turning, multi-axis milling and/or grinding.
    • Strong knowledge of manufacturing with advanced, difficult to machine, alloys to precision tolerances (0.0001"), and how that applies to manufacturing method, work holding, tooling selection, fixturing, and development of size over the progressive operation sequence.
    • Demonstrated ability to create 3D models, 2D process sheets and supporting technical data. SolidWorks preferred.
    • Proficient with database tools for file management and information technology tools for data collection and analysis such as ERP, MRP or PDM systems. EPCIOR ERP and SolidWorks EPDM a plus.Job OfferCompetitive Base SalaryBonus Structure Clear Growth Trajectory Cross Collaboration MPI does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, or based on an individual's status in any group or class protected by applicable federal, state or local law.
