Design Engineer - Fixture

At JEH Aerospace, we engineer precision at every step. We're looking for a skilled Fixture Design Engineer to join our manufacturing team and help design the tooling that keeps our production operating at the highest standard of accuracy and safety.

What you'll do :

1. Design, develop, and validate fixtures and tooling that support precision manufacturing operations across CNC turning, milling, 3-axis, 5-axis, and turn-mill processes.
2. Create detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using CAD tools such as Unigraphics (NX), SolidWorks, or AutoCAD.
3. Collaborate closely with production, process, and quality teams to translate manufacturing requirements into robust fixture solutions.
4. Apply ZPS and 3-2-1 locating principles to ensure accurate, repeatable, and production-ready fixture designs.
5. Conduct functional tests and simulations to verify fixture efficiency, performance, and compliance with safety standards.
6. Iterate on designs based on shop-floor feedback and production data, maintaining continuous improvement standards.
7. Provide hands-on technical support during fixture installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance phases.
8. Work with cutting tool selection and demonstrate a foundational understanding of NC programming principles.

What we're looking for :

1. Bachelor's degree in Mechanical engineering or a closely related discipline with 5 - 8 Years of Experience.
2. Hands-on experience in fixture design and manufacturing tooling development.
3. Strong understanding of CNC machining processes — including turning, milling, 3-axis, 5-axis, and turn-mill operations — and material behavior.
4. Proficiency in CAD software — Unigraphics (NX), SolidWorks, or AutoCAD.
5. Solid grasp of GD&T, ZPS, and 3-2-1 locating principles.
6. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a detail-oriented mindset.
7. Effective communicator who works well across engineering, production, and quality teams.
