Manufacturing Engineer - CNC Programmer

A Snapshot of Your Day

A successful candidate in this position will be responsible for developing manufacturing processes for new power generation turbine airfoil components. The position also provides ongoing shop floor support of non-conventional machining and related processes.

The ideal candidate is a proactive Manufacturing Engineer who will own product manufacturing from development through project completion. They will be responsible for developing conventional machining processes for engine runs and new power generation turbine components, assist in shop floor execution, perform data analysis to drive process improvement, and interact with Product Engineering departments to address non-conformances and opportunities to improve design manufacturability.

Our Manufacturing Engineers are expected to work collaboratively with other Manufacturing Engineers, Fixture Engineers, CMM Programmers, and Setup Operators on a daily basis.

This Manufacturing Engineer position will spend equal time working within established manufacturing systems creating process documentation for production execution and working on the shop floor to observe and improve processes as well as process execution.

• Develop and implement manufacturing processes and CNC programs for complex 4- and 5-axis milling of turbine airfoil components.
• Select and design cutting tools, fixturing, and machining strategies to optimize quality, cost, and throughput.
• Provide hands-on shop floor support to machinists, troubleshooting and improving machining and related processes.
• Collaborate with Product Engineering, Quality, and Operations to resolve non-conformances and improve design manufacturability.
• Lead process improvement, development, and qualification projects, including data analysis, DOE, and documentation.
• Support production planning activities such as quality control plans, quoting, tooling inventory, and CAPEX initiatives.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent experience; 5+ years of proven 4- or 5-axis milling manufacturing experience.
• Strong knowledge of conventional machining processes for complex turbine components (blades and vanes).
• Proficiency in Siemens NX and Teamcenter CAD/CAM and product data management systems.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing specifications.
• Experience with CNC programming (online and offline) and fixture design for milling applications.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills with experience working in a production environment.

• Company paid health and wellness benefits.
• Paid Time Off and paid holidays.
• 401(k) savings plan with company match.
