Process Engineer - Micro Machining
About The Position
We are seeking a Process Engineer – Micro-Machining to lead the design, operation, and optimization of all micro-machining processes within our fast-growing magnet manufacturing start-up. This role will oversee high-volume precision material slicing, component shaping, and finishing operations, ensuring tight dimensional tolerances, surface quality, and process stability. You’ll play a key role in developing and maintaining efficient, repeatable processes while supporting consistent product quality and reliable downstream operations in a dynamic, high-growth production environment.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field (advanced degree preferred).
- Experience in micro-machining, precision part manufacturing, or related processes.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including data analysis and SPC.
- Proficiency in operating and optimizing micro-machining equipment and processes, emphasis on diamond abrasive slicing and grinding for shaping.
- Knowledge of dimensional tolerances, surface finish, and precision inspection.
- Familiarity with SOPs, process documentation, FMEAs, and quality control.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced start-up environment.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with automation, part handling, and training operators or junior engineers is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Own operation and design of micro machining equipment and processes.
- Ensure small parts meet strict dimensional, surface finish, and edge preparation requirements.
- Implement and maintain automation systems to maximize throughput and minimize handling.
- Oversee pre-inspection cleaning, tumbling, slicing, grinding, and chamfering.
- Maintain SOPs, process documentation, and FMEAs for micro machining.
- Collaborate with maintenance for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Monitor quality metrics and SPC data to ensure process control.
- Participate in equipment procurement, FAT/SAT, and vendor evaluation.
- Train operators and junior engineers in precision machining, inspection, and safety protocols.
- Interface with downstream coating engineers to ensure parts are ready for plating.
