Joining Collins Aerospace isn’t just about finding a job; it’s about embarking on a journey to redefine the future of aerospace technology.

Join the Mechanical Engine Systems (MES) Business here in Windsor Locks! At the forefront of Manufacturing Engineering, our engineers support over 50 individual fuel control and actuation products flying on commercial airlines, private jets, and military aircrafts. Alongside our technicians, we utilize precision equipment in the assembly and automation of our high performance test rigs to improve performance, reliability, repeatability, and quality. Our Manufacturing Engineers drive innovation you can see on display each and every day. Come join our team to support our flying fleet and put your engineering skills into practice!

As a MES Hydromechanical Manufacturing Engineer, you will be the operation’s focal point for all component assembly and performance. You are responsible for authoring prescriptive work instructions, drawing approvals, functional failure investigations, data analytics, test yield improvement, tool maintenance, and overall compliance. This role requires a high level of component and machining knowledge. In addition to supporting the hydromechanical fuel controls and actuators, you will function as the bridge between the Technicians, Quality, Operation Leads, Project Engineering, Design, and Program Office. Process reliability and repeatability rely on the your attention to detail and collaborative skills; critical for maintaining our aerospace products to the highest rigor, standards, and quality.
