Process Engineer

Summary Engineering associated with the manufacturing process for precision aerospace components. In this role, you will help shape how critical hardware is produced by advancing machining processes, improving manufacturability, and driving operational performance across safety, quality, delivery, and cost. You will work in a hands-on production environment with exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement through FLIGHT DECK, GE Aerospace’s lean operating model. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who wants to grow technical depth in machining and manufacturing while building a broader career path in aerospace engineering and operations.

Roles and Responsibilities: Support the manufacturing process for  precision aerospace components , with direct impact on producibility, process capability, and shop performance. Apply experience with  CAM software , including  NX and TeamCenter , to develop, improve, and scale machining processes in a production environment. Utilize  CNC programming  knowledge to support efficient, repeatable machining methods for aerospace hardware. Lead or support  tool selection and fixture design  to improve manufacturability, reduce variation, and enable stable production performance. Develop clear, visual work instructions and support  machine SOPs  to help operators execute processes safely, consistently, and efficiently. Define and control production processes including tooling and equipment, and validate design specifications and shop floor implementation of new products, tools, and equipment. Includes Manufacturing Engineers. Use  FLIGHT DECK  principles such as standard work, problem solving, and daily management to identify opportunities, solve manufacturing challenges, and sustain performance improvements. This FLIGHT DECK emphasis is an enhancement aligned to your request. Build technical expertise in  advanced machining and manufacturing engineering , while gaining exposure to broader business drivers and cross-functional operations. Based on source language regarding broadening knowledge and understanding business drivers. Work with increasing autonomy within an established framework, applying sound engineering judgment to resolve issues and improve production outcomes. Partner with operators, quality, manufacturing, and senior engineering team members to solve problems, improve processes, and deliver results in a hands-on aerospace environment. Based on source language about consulting senior team members and team integration. Strengthen leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills that can support continued career progression into advanced manufacturing, operations leadership, process ownership, or broader engineering roles. Based on source language related to leadership skills and higher-level knowledge. For customer-facing situations, communicate technical information clearly and build effective working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
