Lead Manufacturing Engineer - CNC Metrology & Probing Integration Specialist

About the role

We operate with a founder’s mindset. We deliver innovation with passion, speed, and courage. We continuously challenge our thinking and are empowered to dream big and take smart risks.

Responsibilities

• Develop, industrialize, and standardize CNC probing and on-machine metrology solutions that support quality, productivity, and manufacturing capability improvements.
• Create and maintain machine-level probing logic, macros, and standardized routines that improve consistency, reduce setup dependency, and strengthen process control.
• Support closed-loop machining applications using probing data to update work offsets, coordinate alignment, and tool wear offsets where appropriate.
• Develop probing approaches for complex features, including multi-axis and non-orthogonal geometries, based on product requirements and machine capability.
• Establish standard methods, programming practices, recovery procedures, and best practices for probing applications across the shop.
• Translate drawing requirements, GD&T, and critical product characteristics into practical on-machine measurement routines.
• Partner with quality and manufacturing teams to validate on-machine measurement performance through repeatability studies, data correlation, and process verification activities.
• Investigate probing-related failures, instability, and process variation, and lead or support structured root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Support development of work instructions, setup documentation, validation records, control plans, and training materials.
• Train and support programmers, engineers, and operators on standardized probing methods, troubleshooting practices, and effective use of machine-integrated metrology systems.
• Collaborate across engineering, operations, and quality teams to deliver scalable, sustainable solutions in a production environment.

• Associate's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, or related technical field.
• 3+ years of experience in CNC machining, CNC programming, manufacturing engineering, metrology, or a related production engineering role.
• Experience with CNC probing, machine setup, offsets, in-process verification, or machine-integrated measurement systems in a manufacturing environment.
• Experience with at least one major CNC control platform such as Fanuc, Siemens, Okuma, or Haas.
• Ability to read engineering drawings and apply GD&T concepts in manufacturing or inspection processes.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively across technical and operational teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability and desire to work on site in a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to work off-shift or flexible schedule at times as required by project timelines.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, or related technical field.
• Experience with machine probing systems such as Renishaw, Blum, Hexagon, or equivalent.
• Experience with macro programming, custom probing routines, or advanced CNC control logic.
• Familiarity with Fanuc Custom Macro B and working knowledge of Siemens Sinumerik, Okuma OSP, or Haas probing environments.
• Experience implementing probing routines for multi-axis or complex geometry applications.
• Understanding of metrology principles such as repeatability, reproducibility, bias, correlation, and measurement capability.
• Experience supporting Gauge R&R, MSA, SPC, or related validation activities for measurement systems.
• Familiarity with statistical tools such as Minitab, JMP, or equivalent.
• Experience with process documentation, control plans, FMEA, validation, and structured problem-solving methods.
• Experience in aerospace, gas turbine, power generation, medical, or other high-precision manufacturing environments.
• Leverage / Six Sigma certification or equivalent continuous improvement experience.
