Job Title: Senior Manufacturing Engineer
Location: Elma Center, New York, United States
Industry: Aerospace / Aviation / Defense
Job Category: Engineering - Industrial / Manufacturing
Client is seeking a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer to take on a critical role in supporting the Prismatic (Complex Milling) Manufacturing Group located in East Aurora, NY. The primary responsibility will be supporting the development of new product and development manufacturing processes, as well as applying continuous improvement manufacturing technologies to existing or mature production programs.
In this role you’ll take ownership and drive results performing challenging and non‑routine manufacturing engineering, applying standard engineering techniques, procedures, and “out of the box” thinking. In addition to accountability for the manufacturing processes in East Aurora, NY you will also help support our other aircraft facilities worldwide as required.
Responsibilities
Evaluate and develop new and emerging technologies in manufacturing engineering and production process development.
Coordinate Design for Manufacturing efforts among various development engineering groups for new and existing programs.
Determine manufacturing procedures, operation sequencing, prepare tooling and gauge lists, create and prove out N/C programs, and write detailed operations sheets and work instructions for complex milled machined parts and sub‑assemblies.
Support continuous improvement efforts for existing production processes.
Prepare, monitor, and update engineered or estimated time standards for set‑up and run hours, man‑to‑machine ratios, and economic run quantities for each component’s processes throughout the parts routing.
Provide detailed cost estimates for new business capture and process improvement efforts.
Lead new manufacturing capital equipment evaluation, justification, purchasing, and implementation.
Interact daily with Moog engineers, technicians, operations, quality personnel, and external suppliers to solve process related problems and mentor others.
Balance hands‑on shop interaction and office assignments; perform machine program prove‑outs side side with shop personnel.
Lead projects assigned by the Group Lead and/or Manufacturing Engineering Manager.
Support and drive process stability in automated manufacturing cells to reduce attended labor and human‑factor variation; likely own a dedicated manufacturing cell.
Travel internationally and domestically as required (≈5% of the time).
Qualifications
Bachelor of Science Degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or Technology. Equivalent experience will be considered.
Minimum of 5 years of Manufacturing Engineering experience with milled parts and increasing responsibility.
Minimum of 5 years of hands‑on machining experience.
CAD/CAM CNC milled parts programming experience (Siemens NX preferred); fluent in G&M Code programming.
Strong cutting tool and workholding knowledge, selection, and design; quick‑change and automation tooling/workholding experience a plus.
Strong manufacturing process knowledge to create efficient CNC programs for complex milled parts.
Progressive thinker and self‑starter to advance current methodologies and technologies toward automated manufacturing cells.
Excellent communication and documentation skills; ability to guide and direct other manufacturing engineers.
Experience developing automated and advanced manufacturing systems.
Lean mindset and leadership skills to drive change toward a Lean factory and standardized work (Lean belt certification a plus).
Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously; experience with MS Project is a plus.
Strong computer skills: MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
Proficiency in blueprint reading and GD&T.
5‑Axis machining center programming experience required; experience with Moog’s 5‑Axis Global Machining Platform (Okuma MU‑4000V, MU‑5000V, MU‑8000V, Mazak I‑600) is a plus.
Experience machining a wide variety of aerospace materials (Aluminum, Titanium, stainless steels, etc.) on complex milled parts.
