If you are a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who thrives on combining CAD/CAM computer work with shop-floor execution, this direct-hire seat offers an outstanding career platform. The employer is a dynamic, rapidly growing, privately held contract manufacturer specializing in high-precision CNC machining, metal fabrication, and complex assemblies for top global OEMs in heavy equipment, material handling, and industrial sectors.

Experiencing tremendous momentum - more than doubling revenue in recent years with steady multi-million-dollar annual growth, the company provides exceptional job security, an average employee tenure of 5+ years, and a fun, supportive workplace culture. Operating out of modern local manufacturing facilities, you will enjoy a private office space, direct collaboration with shop leadership, and the long-term potential to step into a formal leadership role as the engineering department expands.

• Serve as the primary hands-on Manufacturing Engineer for CNC operations, driving process development, cycle-time reduction, and shop-floor troubleshooting across multi-axis mills, lathes, and machining centers.
• Review customer prints, 3D models, and GD&T requirements to determine optimal machining strategies, sequence of operations, and work holding methods.
• Develop and refine process plans, setup sheets, tooling lists, and work instructions for production teams.
• Assist with fixture design, cutting tool selection, and tool trials using CAD platforms (Solid Works, Creo, or AutoCAD) and Mastercam CAM software.
• Partner directly with machinist operators, setup techs, and quality inspectors to resolve root-cause dimensional or finish issues and evaluate CMM reports.
• Drive continuous improvement (Lean/5S) to optimize tool life, eliminate scrap, improve process capability, and implement customer-driven revision changes.

• 3+ years of Manufacturing Engineering or Process Engineering experience heavily focused on CNC machining, tooling, and precision metal components (castings, forgings, steel, aluminum).
• Strong technical fluency in GD&T, blueprint reading, cutting feeds and speeds, and work holding practices.
• CAD/CAM
  
  Competency:
  
  Practical experience utilizing CAM software (Mastercam strongly preferred) and standard CAD tools (Solid Works, Creo, or AutoCAD).
• Education & Experience Balance:
  Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering or Industrial Technology preferred—however, a degree is NOT required if backed by strong hands-on CNC machining, setup, and process engineering depth.
• Shop-Floor Mindset:
  Genuine enjoyment of walking the floor, troubleshooting directly alongside machinists, and bridging office design with production realities.
• Local Commute:
  Residing within a comfortable daily driving radius of the Menomonee Falls, WI area.
