Description

Location: Meriden, CT Compensation: Competitive Salary + 15% Shift Differential for off-shift hours + Overtime Available + Benefits Day #1 **Must live within a commutable distance to the plant, no relocation package offered. We are seeking a Process Engineer to support high-precision aerospace manufacturing in Connecticut’s fast-paced, innovation-driven production environment. This is a hands-on, shop-floor engineering role where you will directly influence quality, yield, efficiency, and process stability across complex aerospace components. If you thrive in a tight-tolerance, high-accountability environment and enjoy solving real manufacturing problems—not just writing reports—this is where your impact is immediate and visible. What You Will Do As a Process Engineer, you will own and improve manufacturing processes from launch through production: * Develop, validate, and optimize aerospace manufacturing processes * Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective action for process variation and scrap reduction * Partner with CNC machinists, quality, and production teams to improve first-pass yield (FPY) * Create and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and control plans * Support tooling, fixture, and method development * Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean / Six Sigma principles * Analyze production data to improve cycle time, cost, and throughput * Ensure compliance with AS9100 / aerospace quality standards What You Bring * Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related field) * 5+ years in manufacturing or aerospace process engineering (or high-precision machining environment) * Strong understanding of CNC machining, GD&T, or fabrication processes * Experience with process control, validation, or continuous improvement * Strong problem-solving skills using data, metrics, and structured RCA * Ability to thrive on the shop floor in a fast-paced production environment Preferred (Not Required) * Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience * Lean Six Sigma certification * Experience with AS9100 environments * Exposure to tooling design or CNC programming Why This Role Stands Out in Connecticut Aerospace This is not a “desk-only engineering role.” You will be directly embedded in production, where decisions immediately impact: * Aircraft engine performance * Flight-critical components * Defense manufacturing output Apply Today If you're ready to take ownership of real manufacturing processes and make a measurable impact in aerospace production, apply today.
