Manufacturing Engineer - CNC / Heavy Machining

Intercontinental Engineering-Manufacturing Corp.•Riverside, MO

1d•$90,000 - $105,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We build the machinery that moves ships. Steel plate comes in the door, and we burn it, fit it, weld it, and machine it into finished components weighing 40,000 pounds and up for the commercial marine, defense, and mining industries. We need a Manufacturing Engineer on the machining side: horizontal boring mills, large lathes, and everything around them. This is a hands-on job. You will be in the office when you need to be and on the floor the rest of the time. We are not looking for someone to keep the process running the way it always has. We have been at this since 1958. Some of what we do is proven, and some of it is just old. We want an engineer who can tell the difference, go find a better method, and make it stick.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience in machining or manufacturing
Ability to read and interpret complex drawings, with a working knowledge of GD&T
Hands-on experience with machining, part setup, cutting tools, and materials
Proficiency with Microsoft Office
Comfort working with minimal supervision and setting your own priorities
A real bias toward improvement. “That is how we have always done it” should bother you.
Strong interpersonal skills. You will talk with suppliers, customers, machinists, and engineers, often on the same day.

Nice To Haves

CNC programming experience using G-code
APQP tools
CAD/CAM software; we use Autodesk Inventor
Tool path verification and simulation software
Weldments and fit-up processes
Large-part, long-cycle, or low-volume machining
Defense, marine, or other regulated manufacturing

Responsibilities

Owning the machining processes end to end: how the part gets made, how we prove it is right, and how we make it repeatable.
CNC programming. Developing, modifying, and reviewing G-code for boring mills, lathes, and other heavy equipment
Machine characterization. Finding out what a machine can actually hold, then building the process around it
Process control. PFMEAs, process control plans, work instructions, and engineering change control
Tooling and new technology. Specifying tooling and equipment, and building the business case for improvements in workholding, probing, metrology, automation, and software
Root cause and corrective action. Leading the effort to cut scrap, rework, repair, and warranty cost
Standard work. Creating it, training it, and driving it across the shop floor
Drawings and layouts. Mechanical drawings for new and existing products, and floor layouts for major factory moves
Cross-functional leadership. Leading peers from production and quality to get jobs out the door on time. Nobody reports to you, so a show-your-work approach is how you get traction.
