Job Description

TekPro Engineering is looking to hire multiple Manufacturing Engineers for a precision manufacturing company in the Rochester, NY area that produces high-precision machined components for quality-critical industries including aerospace, aircraft, medical, and advanced manufacturing.

The company operates out of a modern, climate-controlled, state-of-the-art facility and continues to invest heavily in advanced CNC technology, engineering talent, and long-term employee development. This is a direct hire opportunity offering stability, strong compensation, paid overtime, and future career growth.

Manufacturing Engineer Role

We are seeking Manufacturing Engineers to support advanced CNC machining operations. This role is highly hands-on and shop-floor focused, supporting CNC programming, tooling, fixturing, and first-run setups.

• Collaborate with machinists, engineering, and quality teams
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across machining operations
• Troubleshoot machining challenges and optimize cutting strategies

Qualifications

• Advanced milling experience required (4-axis or 5-axis)
• 5-axis milling experience is a strong plus (“home run”)
• Strong CNC machining and programming background
• Hands-on experience in a precision machining environment
• 4-year engineering degree preferred
• 2-year degree with strong experience and technical skill set will be considered
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment

What’s Offered

• Direct hire, full-time position
• Hourly pay: $35.00 – $45.00/hr based on experience
• 1.5x overtime pay for hours worked beyond 40
• Strong future career growth and advancement opportunities
• Climate-controlled, modern manufacturing environment
• State-of-the-art CNC machinery and equipment

Benefits Include:
