OverviewLocation: Meriden, CTCompensation: Competitive Salary + Benefits & 401K Eligibility Day #1We are seeking a Process Engineer to support high-precision aerospace manufacturing in Connecticuts 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 DoOwn 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 BringBachelors 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 AerospaceThis is not a “desk-only engineering role.” You will be directly embedded in production, where decisions immediately impact:Aircraft engine performanceFlight-critical componentsDefense manufacturing outputApply TodayIf you\'re ready to take ownership of real manufacturing processes and make a measurable impact in aerospace production, apply today.Click Apply to be considered immediately!#Aerospace#J-18808-Ljbffr
