Precision Manufacturing Process Engineer (Senior Level)

At NN Inc., we craft high-performance precision components and push the limits of what’s possible in machining. Step into a role where your ideas turn into production-ready solutions and your influence is felt on the shop floor every day.

A day in the life

Morning stand-up with product and production teams. A new part launch is on deck—your APQP team aligns on the Project Launch Guide and Autocam Production System (APS) milestones. By mid-morning, you’re reviewing GD&T on customer drawings, finalizing tooling concepts, and updating cost standards. After lunch, it’s onto the floor to train operators on machine operation and SPC, then back to your desk to refine process documentation and quote a new component. You close the day validating that QMS and EMS requirements are fully met.

What you’ll do

  • Develop and standardize procedures and documentation that deliver consistent, high-quality, low-cost manufacturing.
  • Support capital equipment planning and commissioning with solid technical guidance.
  • Design and optimize processes and tooling for current production and new product introductions.
  • Lead APQP teams and drive continuous improvement using the Project Launch Guide and Autocam Production System (APS).
  • Create and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and cost standards with accuracy.
  • Quote new parts and update existing customer quotations.
  • Train operators in machine operation, SPC, document interpretation, and process improvement methods.
  • Interpret complex technical drawings and apply GD&T principles effectively.
  • Ensure compliance with the Quality Management System (QMS) and Environmental Management System (EMS).

What you bring

  • BS in Engineering or equivalent technical training with 2+ years of experience.
  • Strong problem-solving capability and a continuous improvement mindset.
  • Proficiency with technical documentation, cost estimating, and manufacturing software systems.
  • Ability to read complex technical documents and communicate across all levels of the organization.
  • Hands-on experience with APQP, GD&T, and lean manufacturing principles.

    • Physical & work environment

  • Flexible schedule averaging ~50 hours per week.
