P3 consultants take\non early responsibilities with clients in management consulting, diverse\ntechnology topics, and scalable IT solutions.\nMake a project your project. Openness for new,\ninnovative, and unconventional approaches; short decision paths; respectful\ncooperation; and fruitful synergies make us a diverse, unbeatable team and\nsuccessful company - worldwide.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nAs a Tooling Engineer, you will work hands-on in a fast-paced aerospace manufacturing environment, developing tooling solutions that directly support build and production activities. From initial concept through commissioning, you will combine mechanical design expertise with practical manufacturing knowledge to solve technical challenges and help improve safety, quality, cost, and production efficiency. The first assignment is on-site in Florida.\nYour involvement\nin the following tasks will vary from project to project, based on both project\nrequirements and your professional strengths:\nDesign, develop, and release CAD models and engineering drawings for manufacturing tooling in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards.\nDevelop practical solutions for assembly fixtures, material-handling equipment, rotisseries, test fixtures, structural weldments, environmental chambers, and custom machinery.\nManage tooling projects throughout the full lifecycle, from concept and design through vendor selection, procurement, fabrication, inspection, installation, commissioning, and proof testing.\nWork closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Integration Engineering, component designers, suppliers, and other technical stakeholders.\nEstablish priorities for tooling procurement and fabrication and communicate requirements clearly across the project team.\nSupport repair and rework activities and develop effective solutions for unexpected manufacturing challenges.\nPerform root-cause analysis for nonconformances and support appropriate corrective actions.\nDefine material-handling and packaging requirements to protect hardware throughout manufacturing and transportation.\nApply design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles to improve safety, quality, cost, cycle time, reliability, and maintainability.\nWHO YOU ARE\nYou hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Aerospace Engineering, or a comparable engineering discipline, or bring equivalent relevant professional experience.\nYou have at least three years of direct manufacturing experience, ideally in a technically demanding production environment.\nYou have practical experience in tooling design, fabrication, and procurement.\nYou are proficient in CAD-based mechanical design and drafting; experience with Creo Parametric and Windchill is highly desirable.\nYou have a strong understanding of mechanical design and manufacturing fundamentals, including GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.\nYou can identify relevant load cases, create free-body diagrams, and perform basic engineering calculations for common mechanical failure modes.\nYou understand common manufacturing processes and equipment, such as CNC machining, manual machining, welding, sheet-metal forming, lifting and rigging, assembly, and inspection.\nExperience with finite element analysis (FEA) is an advantage; experience with ANSYS Workbench Static Structural is particularly relevant.\nYou understand DFM and DFA principles and ideally have experience supporting products from development into production.\nYou work independently, take ownership of technical challenges, and can effectively manage several priorities at the same time.\nYou communicate effectively with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and other project stakeholders.\nYou are legally authorized to work in the U.S.\nYou are comfortable with extensive travel (up to 100% of your working time), typically Monday through Friday, generally depending on client and project needs. For the first assignment the on-site location is in Florida.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4084,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Aerospace Manufacturing","Satellite Manufacturing","Aircraft Manufacturing","Artificial Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T04:17:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.6,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/p3-group-tooling-engineer-aerospace-manufacturing","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/p3-group-tooling-engineer-aerospace-manufacturing.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T01:43:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":663,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":696221},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=696221"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fp3-group-tooling-engineer-aerospace-manufacturing"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fp3-group-tooling-engineer-aerospace-manufacturing"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fp3-group-tooling-engineer-aerospace-manufacturing"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/p3-group-tooling-engineer-aerospace-manufacturing\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fp3-group-tooling-engineer-aerospace-manufacturing"}]}
