Process Engineer - Relocation Assistance

Description

The engineer will be responsible for a broad set of testing activities—including chemical adjustments, conductivity, titrations, ICP analysis, etch rate and stress‑corrosion evaluations—and will work closely with internal teams and customers to refine CP and NCM operating sheets, schedules, software controls, databases and work instructions. They will conduct annual internal audits against customer and Nadcap checklists for both chemical processing and non‑conventional machining, perform weekly walk‑throughs of CP and NCM areas, and develop and optimize advanced machining processes such as laser cutting/drilling and wire EDM, programming equipment to meet dimensional and metallurgical requirements.

• Conduct chemical and physical testing such as conductivity, titrations, ICP analysis, etch rate, and stress corrosion.
• Collaborate with internal teams and customers to improve CP and NCM documentation, schedules, software controls, and work instructions.
• Perform annual internal audits for chemical processing and non‑conventional machining against customer and Nadcap checklists.
• Lead weekly walk‑throughs of CP and NCM areas to verify process robustness and compliance.
• Develop and optimize non‑conventional machining processes, including laser cutting/drilling and wire EDM.
• Program laser and EDM machines to achieve dimensional and metallurgical specifications.
• Define machining process flows, tooling, fixtures, and quality checkpoints.
• Work with Quality and Special Process teams to satisfy NADCAP, AS9100, and customer requirements.
• Drive root‑cause analysis and continuous improvement for process deviations and quality issues.
• Select and manage suppliers or subcontractors for outsourced NCM processes.
• Train operators and technicians on safe and effective use of advanced machining equipment.
• Stay current on industry trends, technologies, and best practices in advanced machining.

Requirements

Collaboration with Quality and Special Process groups is required to meet NADCAP, AS9100 and customer‑specific standards, while driving root‑cause analysis and continuous improvement. Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering (or 7 + years equivalent experience), have at least two years in manufacturing or quality engineering, be authorized to work in the U.S. without future sponsorship and be compliant with ITAR/EAR regulations. Preferred experience includes hands‑on laser/EDM programming, strong material‑behavior knowledge, process documentation expertise, CAD/CAM proficiency, Lean or Six Sigma certification, and aerospace industry background. Interested applicants should text “PE” to 904‑712‑6140 for a faster reply.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering (or 7+ years equivalent experience) and 3+ years non‑conventional machining experience.
• Minimum 2 years experience in manufacturing or quality engineering.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. full‑time without future sponsorship and compliant with ITAR/EAR regulations.
• Hands‑on experience programming and operating laser/EDM equipment (e.g., Mitsubishi, Sodick, FANUC, Trumpf).
• Strong understanding of material behavior during high‑energy machining processes.
• Experience with process documentation and validation such as FAI, PPAP, and control plans.
• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T.
• Familiarity with NADCAP audit requirements and Lean or Six Sigma certification.
• Proficiency in CAD/CAM software (Mastercam, Siemens NX, SolidWorks) and precision inspection tools.
• Aerospace industry experience is a preferred qualification.
