Ready to turn fresh designs into repeatable, high-yield CNC realities?
If you thrive on building first-article success into steady-state production, this role is for you. You’ll be the go-to partner for quality engineers, QA, setup leads, machinists, and design engineeringowning CNC process creation, verification, optimization, and documentation for NPI.
Why this role matters
- Own process performancereduce cycle time, elevate quality, and hit on-time delivery.
- Bring DFM upstream so parts are built for manufacturability from day one.
- Scale smartchoose the right machines, tooling, and technologies to ramp effectively.
What you’ll tackle
- Build CNC processes end to end: tooling, fixturing, and multi-axis programming.
- Program with CAD/CAM (SolidWorks, Esprit, Siemens NX) and validate in VERICUT.
- Analyze workflows to boost productivity, slash waste, and standardize best practices.
- Drive root-cause investigations and lock in corrective/preventive actions.
- Produce clear work instructions, setup sheets, and SOPs that operators can trust.
- Coach machinists on probing, macro programming, and quality-first execution.
- Lead Lean initiatives5S, Six Sigma, Kaizenacross the shop floor.
- Maintain safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance in every process.
Do you bring the essentials?
- 5+ years in CNC machining/process engineering with hands-on programming and setup.
- Mastery of multi-axis work: 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills and multi-axis mill-turn lathes.
- Fluent in reading drawings/specs and applying GD&T (Y14.5).
- Comfortable with metrology tools and measurement systems.
- Lean/CI track record and strong root-cause problem solving.
- Team-first communicator who collaborates across departments.
Nice to have
- BS in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or related field.
- ERP/MRP exposureEpicor preferred.
