Manufacturing Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 2–5 years of progressive experience in a CNC manufacturing environment
• Proficiency in CAD/CAM software and a deep understanding of G-code.
• Experience with Waterjet operation is a significant plus.
• B.S. in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent hands-on experience).
• A "bias for action."
• Ability to troubleshoot a machine issue at 7:00 AM and pivot to a planning meeting by 8:00 AM.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with OMAX systems
• Familiarity with AS9100 or NADCAP requirements is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Rapidly adjust production workflows and machine scheduling to meet changing customer demands and urgent aerospace/military delivery windows.
• Develop and refine CNC programs (Lathes/Mills) using CAM software (Mastercam/NX/SolidWorks) to reduce cycle times and improve first-pass yield.
• Lead the optimization of waterjet cutting processes, including nesting strategies to maximize material utilization and minimize prep time for secondary forging operations.
• Identify bottlenecks in the machine shop and implement immediate technical solutions (tooling changes, fixture improvements, or sub-routine updates).
• Partner with the Plant Manager to drive improvement initiatives, specifically focused on reducing operational times in the CNC department.
• Support Design Engineering with specialized work holding on complex forged geometries.
