Advanced Manufacturing Engineer - Machining
About The Position
This position, based at our campus in Sidney, Ohio, will focus primarily on supporting manufacturing projects and strategic initiatives for CNC machining, and sharing best practices between regional manufacturing locations. In this position you will work collaboratively with global production and engineering teams to develop and implement high volume machining manufacturing solutions that utilize automation and gauging systems, lead new and optimize existing machining processes, reduce manufacturing costs, and support new product development programs. You will research and monitor advanced manufacturing technology trends and appropriately integrate proven technology solutions into our regional manufacturing facilities. As an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer, you will: Support New Product Development and production launch readiness for machined components. Identify critical product characteristics and technical feasibility of new products to establish manufacturing investment and production cost impacts. Create and modify CNC programs to manufacture products to specified dimensions and tolerances, leveraging digital simulation and best practices to optimize quality and productivity. Engage in strategic capital investment projects to specify, procure, and implement new manufacturing equipment, work holding, tooling, and gauging systems. Utilize digital technologies to develop manufacturing component designs and support CNC machine simulations to validate layouts, functional performance, and production output rates. Apply lean principles and utilize lean tools to improve efficiency and reduce waste in processes that align with manufacturing strategies. Provide project and status updates to colleagues and leadership. Help drive innovation and implementation of advanced manufacturing technology.
