This role offers a unique combination of engineering, machining, tooling, and data management responsibilities while partnering closely with CNC programmers, machinists, manufacturing engineers, tooling suppliers, and technical leaders.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain cutting-tool content within the Tool Data Management (TDM) system, ensuring accuracy, consistency, completeness, and usability.
• Establish and support TDM as the approved source of truth for cutting-tool information across manufacturing operations.
• Review existing tooling definitions and transition approved cutting tools into standardized TDM records.
• Create, edit, and maintain cutting-tool and toolholder geometry, including complete tool assemblies and associated technical attributes.
• Define and manage tool classifications, naming conventions, and data standards while identifying opportunities for process improvements.
• Maintain approved feeds, speeds, cutting parameters, and related machining data based on qualification testing and validated manufacturing results.
• Lead the implementation process for new cutting tools, from initial request through validation, TDM integration, and deployment to programming teams.
• Communicate tooling updates and implementation status to CNC programmers and manufacturing stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with machinists, programmers, and manufacturing engineers to understand tooling challenges and support operational success.
• Ensure the integrity and accuracy of tooling databases while promoting standardization and best practices.
• Work with suppliers and technical experts to evaluate tooling solutions and support manufacturing improvements.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent combination of technical education and manufacturing experience.
• Approximately 5-8 years of relevant manufacturing experience, with strong consideration given to candidates with demonstrated practical expertise.
• Strong knowledge of cutting tools used in milling and turning applications.
• Understanding of complete cutting-tool assemblies, including holders, adapters, extensions, inserts, interfaces, and assembly compatibility.
• Experience creating and modifying 3D cutting-tool and toolholder geometry.
• Working knowledge of machining fundamentals, feeds and speeds, cutting-tool applications, and CNC manufacturing processes.
• Strong attention to detail with a commitment to maintaining accurate and reliable technical data.
• Ability to work independently in an evolving environment where processes and standards continue to mature.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to engage effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams.
• Practical, shop-floor-focused mindset with a passion for improving manufacturing performance and efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Tool Data Management (TDM) systems.
• Experience with Siemens NX CAM.
• Experience with comparable tooling and tool-management platforms.
• Familiarity with NX CAM 2412.
• Background in machining, tooling, CNC programming, manufacturing engineering, or related technical disciplines.
• Demonstrated experience supporting tooling standardization and manufacturing process optimization.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and short-term disability coverage.
• Additional voluntary benefits and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
• Commuter benefits.
• 401K plan with employer contributions.
• Paid leave including Paid Sick Leave or any other paid leave required by Federal, State, or local law, as well as Holiday pay where applicable.
