Why This Role Exists\n

Colinear Aerospace continues to expand its aerospace machining capabilities and requires a Manufacturing Engineer who can act as the technical bridge between engineering and production .

This role exists to improve how parts are made — reducing cycle time, improving yield, supporting new programs, and ensuring machining processes meet the strict requirements of AS9100 aerospace manufacturing.

This is a hands-on, shop-floor-facing role , not a desk-only engineering position.

The Work You’ll Be Doing\n

In this role, you will:

\n
• Develop, document, and maintain manufacturing methods, routers, and process documentation
\n
• Create, optimize, and support CNC programs for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills and lathes
\n
• Troubleshoot machining and process issues directly on the production floor
\n
• Support estimating and quoting through DFM analysis, manufacturing methods, and BOM input
\n
• Collaborate with machinists, programmers, quality, and leadership to improve efficiency and part quality
\n
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, scrap reduction, and repeatability
\n

You’ll have real ownership over how aerospace components move from print to production.
