Sr Process Engineer

This role is ideal for a highly technical manufacturing engineer who excels at leading complex projects, optimizing machining processes, and developing advanced tooling and fixturing solutions. The Sr Process Engineer will take ownership of high-impact engineering initiatives — from concept through production — while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to improve efficiency, quality, and manufacturability.

This is a strong opportunity for someone with deep CAD/CAM expertise, advanced machining knowledge, and a passion for innovative process improvement.

• Lead complex engineering projects from concept through completion, ensuring cost, quality, and delivery goals are met.
• Validate and develop manufacturing models using 2D drawings, scan data, and specifications to ensure manufacturability and dimensional accuracy.
• Analyze materials, machining methods, and process variables to drive efficiency and performance improvements.
• Develop and present design layouts to evaluate feasibility and optimize manufacturing flow.

• Participate in customer and internal design reviews to ensure compliance with technical requirements.
• Work cross-functionally with Production, Operations, Quality, and customers to resolve design and manufacturability challenges.
• Provide technical support and direction to CAM programmers, ensuring machining strategies align with design objectives.
• Adjust manufacturing models and processes based on shop floor feedback and production needs.

• Evaluate and apply appropriate CNC work holding solutions, including vises, modular tooling, custom fixtures, vacuum plates, magnetic chucks, soft jaws, and dedicated tooling.
• Create detailed fixture and process drawings to support setup consistency, accuracy, and repeatability.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives related to machining efficiency, accuracy, and toolpath optimization.

• Prepare and maintain accurate engineering documentation — CAD models, drawings, process records, revisions, and specifications.
• Generate purchase requisitions for materials, tooling, and vendor-supplied components.
• Develop cost estimates, quotations, routings, and bills of materials within the ERP system.
• Conduct contract engineering reviews, maintain part hierarchy documentation, and lead kickoff meetings to support successful project launches.

• Adhere to all safety policies, quality procedures, and compliance requirements.
• Support audits and review activities related to regulatory, customer, or internal standards.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology,
  or 5+ years of experience in process engineering or a related role.
• Advanced CAD/CAM experience with strong machining knowledge.
• Expertise in blueprint reading and GD&T.
• Strong analytical, communication, and project management skills.
• Proven ability to lead projects and collaborate effectively across teams.

• 10+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering.
• Advanced 3D modeling experience.
• ERP experience.
• Experience working with CUI and ITAR requirements.
