Senior Manufacturing Engineer
cindaviMobile (AL)
About the role
$70 million in new equipment, a team that trusts you, and problems worth solving: sound like your kind of shop?
Job Summary:
We are hiring a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join a precision machining operation that builds some of the most technically demanding components in general aviation. This is a first-shift, fully onsite role based in Mobile, Alabama - and it is built for someone who is equally comfortable reviewing CMM data at a workstation and standing next to a 5-axis machining center making real-time program adjustments. You will own production processes, close the gap between engineering and the shop floor, and be a key player in continuous improvement and new product development efforts. This is a long-term seat at a well-capitalized, growing operation.
Key Responsibilities:
Support daily production machining operations: troubleshoot issues, adjust CNC programs and toolpaths, and keep the floor running at spec. Review CMM data and apply statistical methods to evaluate and improve processes, integrating findings into MES work instructions. Participate in the qualification and training of production team members, including signing off on operator training charts. Drive continuous improvement initiatives with a Lean Manufacturing focus, identifying opportunities across assigned cells and equipment. Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, planning, operations, and quality to solve problems and advance new product development projects. Develop and modify CNC programs (G-code, macro variable logic) to support ongoing and new production activities.
Qualifications:
A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related field.4-12 years of hands-on manufacturing engineering experience with a strong background in CNC machining, ideally on 5-axis equipment. Proven ability to interpret CMM data and make program or toolpath adjustments directly at the machine control. Familiarity with Siemens PLC or similar machine controls; Mazak experience is a plus but not required. Working knowledge of GD&T, PPAP, SPC principles, and shop floor gaging methods.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
