About The Position

Aerojet Rocketdyne is a world-recognized aerospace and defense leader providing propulsion and energetics to space, missile defense, and strategic, tactical missile and armaments customers throughout domestic and international markets. We are seeking a highly hands-on Tooling Engineer to support our electronic production and test operations. This is not a desk-only engineering role. We are looking for someone who thrives on the production floor, who has spent years rolling up their sleeves and directly fixing issues as they arise. The ideal candidate is a true problem-solver—someone who is relied upon daily to quickly diagnose and resolve both mechanical and electronic problems with production and test equipment. Our facility depends on this individual’s deep, practical understanding of how each piece of equipment functions, and their ability to keep operations running smoothly.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.
