The Role

Mach Industries is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Jet Engine to lead the development and industrialization of jet engine assembly and test systems.

You will own manufacturing line design and develop the assembly, balancing, inspection, and end-of-line test processes required to build engines safely, repeatedly, and at production rate.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You will work directly with engine hardware to develop manufacturing processes, tooling, fixtures, inspection methods, balancing processes, and test systems, then translate those processes into scalable production equipment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead manufacturing line design for jet engine subassembly, final assembly, inspection, balancing, and end-of-line testing.
• Translate product requirements and production targets into process flows, assembly sequences, equipment requirements, cycle times, line layouts, and capacity models.
• Develop robust assembly processes for turbomachinery and precision mechanical assemblies, including controlled fastening, joining, bearing installation, fits, clearances, alignment, concentricity, runout, and tolerance stack-up.
• Develop tooling, fixtures, gauges, error-proofing, and process controls to reduce assembly variation and operator dependency.
• Develop static and dynamic balancing processes for rotating components and engine subassemblies.
• Develop incoming, in-process, subassembly, and final inspection strategies based on critical-to-quality characteristics and engineering requirements.
• Develop dimensional, leak, pressure, flow, torque, vibration, and functional verification processes.
• Establish manufacturing traceability for critical components, assembly operations, inspection results, balance results, and engine test data.
• Lead development of end-of-line engine testing, including test sequences, instrumentation, data acquisition, and acceptance criteria for parameters such as speed, temperature, pressure, vibration, fuel flow, and thrust.
• Troubleshoot engine test failures and drive root-cause corrective actions into upstream component, assembly, balancing, or inspection processes.
• Drive DFMA improvements with Design Engineering to improve manufacturability, quality, and
