Manufacturing Engineer IV (3681)

Morson•Greenville, NC

6d•Onsite

About The Position

This position is for 2nd shift CNC programming and shop support / development for Gas Turbines. The role involves programming, process development, and shop support for large VTLs, VBMs, Gantry 5-axis machines, and vertical multi-purpose turn/grind machines. The engineer will generate and maintain CNC programs using NX-CAM or other software, verify programs using Vericut, and incorporate on-machine probing. Responsibilities include providing CNC support to Manufacturing Engineers, training operators, troubleshooting on the shop floor, supporting tooling and fixturing, generating workstation instructions, and leading process improvement projects. The role requires effective communication, teamwork in a matrixed organization, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

4 years of experience with graphical based CAM System CNC Programming.
Siemens NX CAM experience preferred and will be given priority.

Nice To Haves

Experience creating 5-axis CNC programs using a CAM (preferably NX) system.
Minimum of 1 year of experience with high-level machine tool controls including sub-routine(macro), Renishaw probing routine, and variable based programming, as well as CLM (closed loop machining).
Significant "hands-on" background as a machinist, with the ability to personally setup and prove out complex first-piece programs.
A track record of managing tight tolerances on large-format equipment (VTLs/VBMs/etc up to 2.5m) where part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability are critical factors.
Extensive experience machining nickel-based superalloys (Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, etc.) common in Heavy Duty Gas Turbine (HDGT) or Aerospace industry.
Strong problem solving and organization skills, with above average shop math skills in geometry and trigonometry.
Experience using Vericut (preferred) or other CNC verification/machine simulation software.
Strong familiarity with multiple machine controls including Fanuc, Haas, Okuma, & Siemens.
Demonstrated proficiency interpreting drawing requirements.
Ability to multi-task and productively manage multiple projects concurrently.

Responsibilities

Program, process development, and shop support for large VTLs, VBMs, Gantry 5-axis machines, and vertical multi-purpose turn/grind machines.
Generate and maintain CNC programs utilizing NX-CAM or other software, including multi-axis milling, turning, grinding and/or EDM.
Verify new CNC programs prior to release on the shop floor utilizing Vericut.
Incorporate on-machine probing using Renishaw cycles for part and process validation (including error trapping).
Create programs following standards and qualified machining parameters.
Provide CNC related support to M.E. (Manufacturing Engineer) and provide operator training during new / rebuilt machine startup and / or process improvements.
Provide daily operator support in the form of CNC programming and troubleshooting support to the shop floor.
Support and implement tooling & fixturing requirements associated with CNC machine tools.
Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC related issues.
Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost and delivery.
Provide effective communication to appropriate team members when needed.
Work effectively as an individual and in a team-based environment in a matrixed organization.
Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while embracing and driving positive change inside and outside the organization when appropriate.
