Job Details

Key Responsibilities and Duties

• Serve as a key member of the programming and engineering team, acting as the liaison between Engineering and Manufacturing (Operations) to support production of precision aerospace components.

• Develop CNC programs (G-code) using ESPRIT CAM software that optimize manufacturing methods for producing precision and ultra-precision components on multi-axis lathes and vertical machining centers.

• Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing to develop manufacturing processes, preferred tooling and work-holding, in-process deburring, and metrology that become approved production work instructions. Document all selections in ESPRIT tooling and datasheet libraries.

• Leverage parametric programming, macros, and CAM software to optimize programs across families of parts.

• Set up and operate production equipment during initial process development for new parts; determine optimal setups, toolpaths, material removal rates, surface finishes, and yields.

• Train production personnel to ensure smooth transition and reproducibility in mass production.

• Manage CNC programs and machine / tool setup data within the company's Product Data Management (PDM) and Distributed Numerical Control (DNC) systems.

• Serve as an in-house subject matter expert and participate in lean initiatives to optimize released products, reduce setup and machine time, and improve productivity and quality.

Qualifications (Needed)

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering preferred; progressive on-the-job experience commensurate with a degree will be considered.

• Minimum of 5 years of advanced manufacturing experience, preferably in precision or ultra-precision machining environments.

• Expert knowledge of Fanuc controls and strong background in CNC programming using advanced techniques including on-machine probing and tool setters (preferred).

• Proven working experience with CAM software for CNC programming — ESPRIT preferred;
Mastercam, Part Maker, SolidCAM, or similar is acceptable (ESPRIT training will be provided).

• Strong knowledge of work-holding, tooling systems, and CNC machine setup.

• Proven ability to translate customer drawings and GD&T into efficient, repeatable manufacturing methods.

• Familiarity with manufacturing enterprise software; experience with Epicor ERP or similar systems is a plus.
