What is a senior tooling engineer?

Senior Tooling Engineers are specialized professionals responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the tools, molds, and fixtures used in manufacturing processes. They play a key role in ensuring that production equipment is efficient, safe, and capable of producing high-quality parts. Senior Tooling Engineers often lead projects, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with design, production, and quality teams to optimize manufacturing workflows. Their expertise is essential in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods manufacturing.

What are some common challenges faced by senior tooling engineers when introducing new tooling solutions to manufacturing processes?

Senior Tooling Engineers often encounter challenges such as aligning new tooling solutions with existing manufacturing equipment, ensuring minimal production downtime during implementation, and maintaining high product quality standards. They also need to collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including design, production, and quality assurance—to address unforeseen issues and optimize the tooling for efficiency and safety. Balancing cost-effectiveness with innovation is another key aspect, as is staying updated with the latest industry technologies and standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a senior tooling engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior Tooling Engineer, you need advanced knowledge of tool design, manufacturing processes, materials science, and typically a degree in mechanical or manufacturing engineering. Familiarity with CAD/CAM software, mold flow analysis tools, and experience with CNC machinery or related certifications are highly valued.

Job description

Work with a Top 20 CPA and advisory firm that Accounts for Anything.  Aprio has 40 U.S. office locations, as well as international office locations and more than 3,200 team members that speak 60+ languages across the globe.  By bringing together proven expertise, deep understanding, and strategic foresight for fast-growing industries, Aprio ensures clients are prepared for wherever life or business may take them. Discover a top-rated culture, vast growth opportunities and your next big career move with Aprio.

Join Aprio's Information Technology team and you will help clients maximize their opportunities. Aprio is a progressive, fast-growing firm looking for a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to join their dynamic team.
 
Aprio's Cybersecurity Engineering team builds and operates the controls that make the firm defensible: identity, network segmentation, cloud security baselines, endpoint, monitoring, encryption, and vulnerability management. The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is the senior individual contributor on that team - the engineer who takes a control domain from "documented" to "running cleanly in production," sets the standard for how it's done, and pulls the Mid and Associate engineers up with them. This is a hands-on engineering role that also leads cross-team initiatives.

This position supports U.S. Government engagements that may involve Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and requires access to exportcontrolled technical data. In accordance with CUI and U.S. export control regulations, this position is limited to 'U.S. persons' (including U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain protected individuals) as defined in 22 C.F.R. 120.62. These requirements are only tied to this specific job posting. We are an equal opportunity employer and all Aprio employment decisions are made in accordance with applicable laws.

What You'll Do:
  • You will own the operational health of one or two engineering domains, lead cross-team initiatives that touch multiple control areas, and design the patterns the rest of the team executes against.
  • You're the engineer who can take a tool from "purchased" to "deployed, tuned, and instrumented," the partner Cloud Ops and Identity call when they need a security pattern that actually works, and the senior who makes the Mid and Associate engineers better through pairing, code review, and clear standards.
  • You'll also be a senior voice in architecture and decision conversations alongside the Principal Engineer and the Manager.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Domain ownership: Own the operational health of one or two engineering domains (identity, network/segmentation, cloud security baselines, monitoring/logging, encryption/key management, endpoint, vulnerability management, configuration management). Keep them measurably healthy and improving.
  • Cross-team initiatives: Lead initiatives that span Security, IT, Identity, Cloud Operations, and delivery teams - controlled rollouts, control set hardening, tool migrations. Land them without breaking production.
  • Architecture and standards: Design new control patterns and reference architectures. Write the decision records, runbooks, and standards the team executes against and the auditors review.
  • Controlled rollouts: Lead the end-to-end deployment of new control sets (e.g., bringing a new EDR online, hardening a new cloud account, standing up new logging pipelines) - pilot, measure, expand, document.
  • Mentorship: Pair with Mid and Associate engineers, run design reviews, give substantive code/config review, and grow the next tier. Quality of output from less senior engineers is part of your scope.
  • Operational partnership: Be the senior partner Cloud Ops, Identity, IT Service Management, GRC, and the SOC call when they need security engineering input. Solve problems with them, not at them.
  • Detection/response engineering support: Partner with Detection Engineering and the SOC on logging coverage, telemetry quality, and the engineering pieces of response (privileged access tooling, isolation capabilities, evidence capture).
  • Evidence and audit readiness: Produce control evidence and architecture documentation that holds up under audit and peer review. Keep your domains' evidence map current.
  • Automation: Push toward repeatable, codified controls (IaC, policy-as-code, automated evidence collection) instead of one-off manual work.
What Success Looks Like:

First 30-60 days: You can operate your priority domains safely on Aprio's tooling, you've assessed current control posture, and you've published a prioritized remediation backlog for at least one domain.

By 90 days: You're leading at least one cross-team initiative, you've published or substantially revised at least one architecture pattern or decision record, and you're an active mentor to the Mid and Associate engineers.

By 6-12 months: Your domains have measurably improved control health (less drift, cleaner evidence, faster remediation, fewer escalations). At least one controlled rollout has landed cleanly. Less senior engineers on the team are visibly better because of how you work with them.

Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years in security engineering, with hands-on responsibility for implementing controls across identity, network, cloud, endpoint, and/or monitoring.
  • Strong fundamentals in IAM, network segmentation, encryption / key management, and centralized logging / monitoring.
  • Experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, GCP) in a security-engineering capacity.
  • Ability to produce clear architecture documentation, runbooks, and decision records that hold up under audit and peer review.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to explain tradeoffs across Security, IT, and delivery audiences in plain language.
  • Comfortable mentoring less senior engineers and owning quality-of-output for one or more domains.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Regulated-environment experience (CMMC, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP-aligned, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI).
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi) and policy-as-code (Sentinel, OPA).
  • Security tooling integration experience (SIEM, EDR, vulnerability scanning, IAM, secrets management).
  • Industry certifications (one or more): CISSP, CCSP, GIAC (e.g., GCED, GPEN, GCWN), AZ-500, AWS Security Specialty.
  • Experience supporting a SOC's detection/response engineering needs.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or related field - or equivalent applicable years of experience
$100,000 - $125,000 a year
The salary range for this opportunity is stated above. As such, an actual salary may fall closer to one or the other end of the range, and in certain circumstances, may wind up being outside of the listed salary range. 
The application window is anticipated to close on July 27th and may be extended as needed.
