You will work closely with cross-functional teams including quality engineers, quality assurance, setup personnel and machinists to support production goals, product quality and on-time delivery. Key Responsibilities: • Develop and implement efficient CNC machining processes, including tooling, fixtures, and programming for multi-axis CNC machines. • Create and optimize CNC programs using CAD/CAM software, ensuring compliance with product specifications and quality standards. • Analyze manufacturing workflows and identify opportunities to improve productivity, reduce cycle times, and minimize waste. • Collaborate with design engineers to ensure manufacturability of new products, offering DFM (Design for Manufacturability) input during the design phase. • Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for manufacturing issues, implementing corrective actions to prevent recurrence. • Evaluate and select proper CNC equipment, tooling, and technologies for NPI. • Establish and maintain process documentation, including work instructions, setup sheets, and standard operating procedures. • Train and mentor machine operators and other staff on CNC processes, best practices, and quality standards. • Support Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives, including 5S, Six Sigma, and Kaizen projects. • Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements in all manufacturing processes. Required Qualifications: • Minimum of 5 years of experience in CNC machining and process engineering. • Extensive hands-on experience with CNC machine programming, setup and operation. This includes advanced skills like probing and macro programming. • Proficiency in CAD/CAM software Examples of our commonly used packages (SolidWorks CAD, Esprit CAM, Siemens NX CAD/CAM) including verification software Vericut. • In-depth knowledge of multi-axis CNC machining (e.g., 3, 4, and 5-axis mills, and multi axis mill-turn lathes). • Ability to interpret engineering drawings/specifications/standards in accordance with customer requirements. • Strong understanding of GD&T (ASNI Y14.5) and blueprint reading. • Extensive knowledge and use of common metrology & measurement systems. • Experience with Lean Manufacturing principles and process optimization. • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to perform root cause analysis. • Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments.
