This key role is responsible for developing, optimizing, and supporting CNC programs and machining processes for complex, tight-tolerance components. The ideal candidate will combine hands-on machining experience with strong programming and process engineering skills to drive efficiency, quality, and innovation within our machining process.

Key Responsibilities

Create the CNC machining program and engineering process for new parts and trouble shoot existing jobs that are more challenging.

Set up new and more difficult parts then hand-off to operator for production, following up accordingly.

Optimize CNC programs for multi-axis lathes, mills, and Swiss-@type machines using Mastercam and Solidworks software

Review blueprints, models, and engineering drawings to determine machining sequences, tooling requirements, setups, and assist in the estimating process.

Design and recommend tooling, fixtures, and workholding solutions to improve repeatability and reduce setup times.

Collaborate with machinists and operators to ensure successful first-article production and process reliability.

Troubleshoot machining or programming issues and implement corrective actions.

Analyze cutting parameters, speeds, and feeds to optimize cycle times and surface finishes.

Maintain accurate documentation of programs, tool lists, setup sheets, and process instructions.

Support ISO/AS9100 aerospace quality systems through proper documentation and engineering control.

Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to lights-out manufacturing readiness.

Train and mentor operators in process understanding and best practices.

Strong proficiency in programming and operating multi-axis CNC lathes and mills (Miyano, Doosan, Citizen and Makino experience preferred).

Skilled in reading and interpreting blueprints, models, G-code, and geometric tolerancing (GD&T).

Solid understanding of cutting tools, materials, feeds/speeds, and machining strategies.

Familiarity with AS9100D/ISO standards and process control requirements.

Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Highly organized, detail-oriented, and committed to quality and continuous improvement.

Ability to meet physical demands of the job, including but not limited to frequent standing and walking; frequent kneeling; bending; lifting or moving up to 50 lbs.

Qualifications

At least 10 years' machining experience mostly in Aerospace/Defense with 5 years of multi-axis machining.

Must have experience with Mastercam. Additional knowledge of SolidWorks and JobBoss MRP software a plus.

Physical Requirements

Manual dexterity and visual acuity for precision work.

Comfortable working in a production environment with machinery, lubricants, and metal materials.
