Job Description & How to Apply Below
We're looking for a hands‑on manufacturing engineer with real CNC machining expertise to lead process improvements, capital projects, and technical problem‑solving on our machining floor. This role is the go‑to technical resource for CNC machining, turning, milling, grinding, and related manufacturing systems - diagnosing issues, optimizing processes, and leading projects from concept through launch. You'll work closely with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Supply Chain, and Product Engineering.
SpecificResponsibilities
- Provide hands‑on technical expertise across CNC machining, turning, milling, grinding, honing, and broaching - including troubleshooting issues that affect safety, quality, delivery, or cost
- Establish and optimize process parameters (speeds/feeds, tool life, coolant, work‑holding, tooling strategy) and own equipment, tooling, fixture, and gauging processes
- Lead capital and engineering projects from scope through installation, commissioning, and final acceptance, including procurement, RFQs, and ROI analyses
- Serve as the plant's subject‑matter expert on machining technology, mentoring engineers and technicians and driving cross‑functional problem‑solving
- Lead continuous improvement efforts - cost reduction, waste elimination, and root‑cause corrective action
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related field
- 4+ years of manufacturing engineering experience, with a focus on machined components and assemblies
- Hands‑on CNC machining expertise, including fluency in G-code and M-code
- Experience processing parts - sequencing operations to consistently produce quality results, not just running the machine
- Strong knowledge of tooling, fixtures, gauging, and manufacturing systems, with a track record of solving complex process problems
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working cross‑functionally with operations, maintenance, quality, and suppliers
- Demonstrated ability to lead engineering or capital projects (machine replacements, capacity increases, cost‑out initiatives)
- CAM software experience (MasterCAM, GibbsCAM, or similar)
- Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or RCCA background
- Applicants must be authorized to work in the US without requiring sponsorship now or in the future.
