CNC Machining Process Engineering Supervisor

The Opportunity

As the CNC Machining Process Engineering Manager, you will be a cornerstone of our plant leadership team. You will lead the design and implementation of complex machining processes for very large, high-precision machined parts using state-of-the-art 4 and 5‑axis CNC machines and advanced CAD/CAM tools.

In this role, you aren’t just creating CNC programs; you are creating the processes for bringing complex designs to life for the world’s most advanced semiconductor and aerospace companies. For a leader looking to grow, this position offers exciting day‑to‑day challenges and a path toward Senior Engineering or Operations Management.

• Lead the Team:
  Manage resources responsible for CNC programming, work‑holding design, in‑process inspection routines, and the creation of accurate routers and work instructions.
• NPI Ownership:
  Direct the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to ensure new products meet cost, schedule, and performance specs.
• DFM Support:
  Act as a technical consultant to customers, utilizing best‑in‑class tools to provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Cost (DFC) feedback.
• Quality by Design:
  Own the engineering processes that ensure part quality through robust process design, manual/automated in‑process inspection routines, and strict adherence to production standards.

• Continuous Improvement:
  Drive initiatives to reduce cycle times, increase first‑pass yields, minimize setup times, and improve machine utilization.
• Data Integrity:
  Maintain the accuracy of machining cycle times, manufacturing methods, and production documentation to meet cost and quality targets.
• Problem Solving:
  Lead root‑cause analysis and corrective action (RCCA) through structured problem‑solving methods.
• Technology Planning and Implementation:
  Select and deploy new CNC machinery and material handling equipment based on ROI; design plant layouts for optimal flow.

• Mentorship:
  Motivate the engineering team through leadership by example, fostering a culture of accountability and professional growth.
• KPI Management:
  Develop and maintain departmental Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track and improve organizational performance.

• Experience:
  
  4+ years of experience creating CNC machining processes for very large parts (60" x 60" x 50" or larger).
• Leadership: 2+ years of experience directly managing CNC programmers and/or manufacturing engineers.
• Education:
  
  BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical work experience.
• Technical Savvy:
  Expert-level understanding of 4 and 5‑axis machining and CAD/CAM software tools. Proficient user of Excel, PowerPoint and/or similar tools.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
