Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering information

What is aerospace manufacturing engineering?

Aerospace manufacturing engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the design, development, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment. These engineers work to improve manufacturing processes, ensure product quality, and implement new technologies to make aerospace products safer, more reliable, and cost-effective. They collaborate closely with design engineers, quality assurance teams, and production staff to bring complex aerospace products from concept to reality. Aerospace manufacturing engineers must also ensure compliance with strict industry regulations and standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an aerospace manufacturing engineer, and why are they important?

To excel as an Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical or aerospace engineering, experience with manufacturing processes, and often a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with CAD software, CAM systems, and quality management certifications like Six Sigma or AS9100 is highly valued. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork skills set top performers apart in this field. These competencies ensure the efficient production of high-quality aerospace components while maintaining safety and regulatory compliance.

What are some common challenges faced by aerospace manufacturing engineers, and how can they be addressed?

Aerospace Manufacturing Engineers often encounter challenges such as maintaining strict quality standards, meeting tight production schedules, and ensuring compliance with complex industry regulations. These challenges can be addressed by implementing robust quality control processes, utilizing advanced manufacturing technologies, and fostering clear communication across multidisciplinary teams. Additionally, ongoing professional development and collaboration with suppliers and cross-functional partners can help engineers stay updated on best practices and adapt to evolving project requirements.

Job description

About the Role

We're hiring a CMM Programmer/Operator to run dimensional inspection on aerospace-grade components using Coordinate Measuring Machines and PC-DMIS software. This is a hands-on precision measurement role at the core of our quality operation; you'll program CMM routines, inspect parts against tight tolerances, and verify conformance on tubes, tooling, fixtures, gears, and machined components.

What You'll Do

  • Program and operate Coordinate Measuring Machines (Hexagon CMM) using PC-DMIS/Quindos software
  • Inspect tubes, tooling, fixtures, gears, and machined components for dimensional accuracy
  • Read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T requirements
  • Develop, edit, and maintain CMM inspection programs for new and existing parts
  • Verify part conformance against engineering specifications and tight tolerances
  • Document inspection results and maintain accurate, traceable quality records
  • Support internal and customer audits and AS9100 compliance activities
  • Investigate nonconformances and help drive corrective actions
  • Communicate inspection results and quality concerns to engineering and production teams

 What We're Looking For

  • High school diploma or GED (required); associate degree in a related technical field a plus
  • 2–3 years of experience in Hexagon CMM operation, metrology, or quality inspection (aerospace/manufacturing environment preferred)
  • Working knowledge of Hexagon CMM equipment and PC-DMIS/Quindos software, or willingness to learn quickly if not already experienced
  • Ability to read, interpret, and apply engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T specifications
  • Proficiency with precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gages, etc.)
  • Strong attention to detail with solid documentation and recordkeeping habits
  • Basic math skills (fractions, decimals, ratios, tolerances) and ability to interpret statistical data
  • Working knowledge of quality systems and standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for collaborating across teams
  • ASQ CQT certification or Hexagon/PC-DMIS training a plus, but not required

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand/walk for extended periods, and pass periodic vision exams to ensure measurement accuracy. Work is performed in a combination of tool crib, inspection lab, and manufacturing floor environments.

 Why Work Here

  • Stable, full-time position in a fast-paced aerospace manufacturing environment
  • Comprehensive medical coverage, vision, dental
  • Paid sick leave and paid vacation
  • 401k retirement plan
  • Costco membership
