Build Something Real

EBM Manufacturing is looking for a Manufacturing CAD & CNC Technician to join our team in Lincoln, Nebraska.

If you enjoy working with CAD, 3D modeling, solving manufacturing problems, and seeing your work turn into a finished product, this is an opportunity to put your technical skills to work.

EBM Manufacturing designs and builds bulk material-handling and screening equipment for agricultural and industrial applications. Our products include conveyors, feeder screws, sectional flighting, spouting, screening equipment, and custom-fabricated components.

In this position, you’ll work at the intersection of CAD design, drafting, engineering, CNC, and manufacturing. Your primary responsibilities will include creating and revising 2D production drawings, 3D models and assemblies, Bills of Material, and other engineering documentation, along with creating CNC files and nesting layouts used directly by our production team.

Your work will go directly from the computer to the shop floor to help our production team turn designs into real, finished products.

• Help identify opportunities to reduce material waste, improve efficiency, and simplify manufacturing processes.

Production & ERP Support

• Create and maintain shop work orders and production information in VET ERP.
• Maintain accurate project, production, and inventory information.
• Assist with production scheduling and work-order documentation.
• Maintain organized engineering and manufacturing records.
• Communicate with engineering, fabrication, assembly, and production teams to keep projects moving.

We’re looking for someone who is technically minded, detail-oriented, and comfortable working between CAD/design work and a manufacturing environment.

• Experience or education in CAD, drafting, engineering technology, manufacturing technology, mechanical design, or a related field.
• Working experience with AutoCAD or similar 2D CAD software.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and manufacturing specifications.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to understand how a digital drawing translates into a physical manufactured component.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
