Machine Shop Manager

Machine Shop Manager

We are seeking an experienced Machine Shop Manager to own and operate the rapid prototyping shop at our Boston Development Center. As the leader for precision fabrication and additive manufacturing, you own end-to-end execution of machined and 3D-printed components that drive our hardware development. This is a prototype shop: short-run, high-mix. Most jobs are unique, every setup matters, and the engineering team's development velocity depends on what leaves the shop each week.

You will manage the full scope of shop operations, multi-axis CNC milling and turning, manual/conventional machining, and industrial 3D printing (metal and polymer). You will hire and develop a team of CNC programmers, precision machinists, and additive manufacturing technicians, set the schedule, and work directly with design and manufacturing engineers to keep first-piece quality high and turnaround tight. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who came up through programming and machining and is still credible at the CAM seat and on the shop floor.
