Senior Subtractive Manufacturing Engineer, Production Manufacturing

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Subtractive Manufacturing Senior Engineer
— a recognized subject matter expert who designs and delivers scalable manufacturing processes built for production. You will own the most complex CNC programming and manufacturing process challenges, translating technical expertise into production‑ready solutions that drive quality and consistency across the organization. In this role, you will develop the standards that take processes from concept to the floor, build meaningful relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and serve as the critical bridge between customer requirements and repeatable, scalable execution.

This is a thought leadership role for someone who solves hard problems, develops the people around them, and is passionate about engineering manufacturing processes that don't just work in theory — they work at scale, in production, every time.

• Technical Leadership & Problem Solving

  • Serve as the go‑to subject matter expert in CNC manufacturing process development and multi‑axis programming on the organization's most critical technical issues and strategic initiatives.

  • Lead the most complex CNC programming and manufacturing process assignments independently, using sound judgment, creativity, and initiative to develop effective, long‑term solutions.

  • Identify and address systemic manufacturing and programming issues spanning multiple teams or functions, influencing process improvements and establishing best practices at the departmental or organizational level.

• Standards, Frameworks & Documentation

  • Develop and implement comprehensive standards, frameworks, methodologies, and technical guidelines for CNC programming, tooling, fixturing, and process development.

  • Define and govern setup documentation standards within Pro Shop ERP at the departmental level, including structure, content requirements, and quality criteria for tooling lists, work‑holding instructions, program references, and run notes.

  • Ensure documentation systems serve as a reliable, auditable record of manufacturing process knowledge.

• Quality & Safety

  • Drive measurable improvement through systematic quality management, including advanced metrology strategies, in‑process verification frameworks, and statistical process controls.

  • Establish safety, security, and integrity best practices for multi‑axis machining domains and define quality strategy and standards that align with stakeholder expectations and industry best practices.

• Customer & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Build formal networks with key internal and external stakeholders; serve as a thought leader who bridges customer needs with technical solutions.

  • Translate customer quality expectations, delivery requirements, and technical specifications into manufacturing process and quality strategy, positioning technical decisions in terms of their measurable impact on customer outcomes and organizational reputation.

• Mentorship & Talent Development

  • Develop technical talent through high‑impact mentorship, systematic knowledge sharing, and consultation.

  • Own resolution of enterprise‑level manufacturing challenges and share problem‑solving expertise broadly across the organization.

  • Consistently model the highest standards of technical excellence in CNC manufacturing process development.

• Innovation & Execution

  • Deliver breakthrough technical solutions within committed time frames, managing multiple enterprise‑level technical programs and complex manufacturing initiatives simultaneously.

  • Create innovative CNC programming techniques, machining methodologies, and manufacturing solutions that transform organizational capabilities and begin to influence industry direction through thought leadership and external engagement.

  • Support other projects and assignments as needed.

• Education & Experience

  • We recognize that expertise is built through many paths. Candidates should meet one of the following combinations of education and relevant experience:

    • High School Diploma with at least 14 years of relevant experience

    • Associate’s degree with at least 12 years of relevant experience

    • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related discipline with…
