Manufacturing Engineer

GE Aerospace•Lynn, MA

About The Position

Support the manufacturing processes that turn formed sheet metal into flight-critical hardware, including forming, resistance and TIG welding, brazing, heat treat, and machining. Work directly with operators, Quality, and senior engineers on the shop floor to maintain production flow, solve process problems, and prevent defects. Follow standard work and established procedures while adjusting priorities as production needs change. The work directly affects product quality, delivery, and team performance. Plant 2 manufactures sheet metal fabricated parts for jet engines, primarily combustors, as well as fuel nozzles and other parts. The role provides hands-on engineering support for combustor and nozzle production, maintains process documentation, supports special-process control, helps resolve quality and dimensional issues, and participates in continuous improvement. Decisions are made within a defined scope, with technical issues outside established parameters escalated to senior engineers. The position also involves communicating technical information, guiding junior team members as needed, and promoting safe work practices. The position requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Employment is contingent on demonstrating U.S. Person status as a U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. citizen, or person granted asylee or refugee status. The pay range is $92,000–$110,000, with eligibility for an annual discretionary bonus. Relocation assistance is provided.

Ability to demonstrate qualifying U.S. Person status for access to U.S. export-controlled information.
Legally authorized to work in the United States.

Nice To Haves

Experience in manufacturing or production.
Experience with CNC machining, resistance welding, TIG welding, vertical or horizontal lathes, milling, heat treat, brazing, or fabrication.
Knowledge or experience in process control, improvement and escape prevention, technical requirements and process control, GD&T, blueprint reading, problem solving, or lean manufacturing.
Humble and receptive approach, eagerness to learn, and adaptability.
Transparency, candor, and constructive communication.
Ability to learn quickly, prioritize strategically, and remain focused.
Leadership ability, strong communication, decision-making, and collaboration skills.
Analytical problem-solving, critical thinking, and willingness to challenge existing processes.

Responsibilities

Provide hands-on engineering support to combustor and nozzle production and help keep parts moving through fabrication, welding, brazing, heat treat, and machining.
Help maintain and improve work instructions, operation sheets, and setup sheets so they reflect current engineering requirements and drawings.
Support process control for resistance (spot/seam) welding, TIG welding, brazing, and heat treat by monitoring parameters, verifying setups, and flagging deviations from specifications.
Read and interpret blueprints and GD&T for sheet metal assemblies; help resolve fit-up, distortion, weld quality, and dimensional problems.
Support nonconformance and quality-escape resolution by collecting data, helping identify root causes, and carrying out corrective and preventive actions within established procedures.
Participate in lean and continuous-improvement projects, including standard work, 5S, setup reduction, and flow improvement, to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
Collaborate with Quality, Production, Materials, Tooling, and senior Manufacturing Engineers, and understand connections to upstream and downstream operations.
Make decisions within the defined scope and escalate technical issues outside established parameters to senior engineers.
Explain technical information clearly to operators and cross-functional partners, and train or guide junior team members as needed.
Follow and promote EHS requirements and safe work practices in a fabrication environment.
