Own the journey from concept to capable production
Imagine a complex aerospace component with tight GD&T callouts hitting your desk. You select the right multi-axis platform, design fixturing, simulate toolpaths in VERICUT, and stand up a repeatable process that ships right the first timeand faster the next. That’s the challenge you’ll lead every day.
Your mission
- Architect CNC manufacturing processes for NPItooling, fixtures, and multi-axis programming.
- Program and optimize with SolidWorks, Esprit, and Siemens NX; verify thoroughly in VERICUT.
- Drive throughput: analyze workflows, compress cycle times, and eradicate waste.
- Influence design-for-manufacturability with engineering partners early and often.
- Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; implement lasting corrective actions.
- Specify and select CNC equipment, tooling, and emerging technologies to enable scalable ramps.
- Create and sustain accurate process documentationwork instructions, setup sheets, SOPs.
- Develop talent on the floor through training in probing, macro programming, and quality standards.
- Sustain a Lean culture with 5S, Six Sigma, and Kaizen improvements.
- Maintain compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
What you bring
- 5+ years of CNC machining and process engineering experience.
- Hands-on mastery of CNC programming, setup, and operation, including probing and macros.
- Deep capability in 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling and multi-axis mill-turn lathes.
- Fluency in engineering drawings/specifications and GD&T (Y14.5).
- Proficiency with metrology and measurement systems.
- Lean Manufacturing background with proven process optimization results.
- Analytical mindset with strong RCA and cross-functional communication skills.
Preferred
- Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
- ERP/MRP familiarity; Epicor experience preferred.
