• Experience in a close-tolerance milling environment.
• Strong understanding of GD&T.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to interpret complex engineering drawings.
• Ability to understand machining parameters, including speeds, feeds, depth of cut, tooling, and horsepower requirements.
• Strong mathematical skills, including geometry, trigonometry, fractions, ratios, and proportions.
• Self-motivated, dependable, flexible, and highly detail-oriented.
• Ability to organize, prioritize, communicate, and manage multiple projects.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to take ownership of projects from concept through production.
• Ability to read, analyze, and interpret technical documentation, engineering drawings, tooling catalogs, machining references, and technical information related to machining processes.
• Ability to effectively communicate technical information to machinists, supervisors, engineers, and other internal customers.

Nice To Haves

• 5-axis simultaneous programming experience.
• Vericut experience.
• SolidWorks experience.
• Custom Macro B programming experience.
• CNC probing and in-process inspection programming experience.
• Additional experience in advanced multi-axis machining and process development.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Approximately 10 years of manufacturing experience.
• 5+ years of Mastercam experience.
• 2+ years of SolidWorks experience.
• 1+ year of Vericut experience.
• Equivalent combinations of education, training, and experience may be considered.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain multi-axis CNC programs using Mastercam CAD/CAM software.
• Program advanced 5-axis 3+2 machining; simultaneous 5-axis programming experience is highly desirable.
• Collaborate with Process Engineers, machinists, supervisors, and other programmers to develop effective machining processes.
• Use Vericut machine simulation to verify programs and help ensure collision-free machining.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, tooling information, and process specifications.
• Conduct program reviews, test runs, and troubleshooting to ensure programs produce quality parts to specification.
• Optimize cutting strategies, speeds, feeds, tooling, workholding, and machining sequences for quality and efficiency.
• Design workholding and fixtures using SolidWorks and/or Mastercam.
• Troubleshoot machining and programming issues and provide technical support to machinists and supervisors.
• Incorporate machine probing routines into CNC programs for validation and in-process inspection.
• Utilize Custom Macro B programming to develop special functions as required.
• Contribute to continuous improvement and standardization of CNC programming and manufacturing processes.
• Take ownership of programming projects and work collaboratively to support customer delivery commitments.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Engineering Manager or Director of Engineering.

Benefits

• Opportunity to join a new, state-of-the-art facility.
• Play an important role in building and advancing manufacturing capabilities.
• Work alongside experienced engineering and manufacturing professionals.
• Tackle challenging precision-machining applications.
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on how complex components are manufactured.
