• Opportunity to grow your technical and manufacturing expertise.

Responsibilities

• Determine manufacturing methods, routing sequences, fixturing, raw materials, inspection methods, and outside processing requirements.
• Provide detailed quotes and manufacturing estimates for precision-machined components.
• Input and maintain routing information and labor standards within company systems.
• Develop CNC programs and support program modifications for continuous improvement.
• Utilize GD&T principles and interpret technical drawings.
• Create setup sheets, operation sheets, and manufacturing documentation.
• Develop fixtures and tooling concepts to improve manufacturing performance.
• Support process improvements focused on quality, efficiency, and cost reduction.
• Balance multiple projects and changing customer priorities.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related field, OR 5-10 years of manufacturing engineering and CNC programming experience, OR Equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Strong knowledge of machine tools and manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency with Mastercam programming.
• Experience reading blueprints and applying GD&T.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
