Multi-Axis CNC Process Development Engineer

Job Description

Ready to turn fresh designs into repeatable, high-yield CNC realities?
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you thrive on building first-article success into steady-state production, this role is for you. You'll be the go-to partner for quality engineers, QA, setup leads, machinists, and design engineering---owning CNC process creation, verification, optimization, and documentation for NPI.

### Why this role matters

* Own process performance---reduce cycle time, elevate quality, and hit on-time delivery.
* Bring DFM upstream so parts are built for manufacturability from day one.
* Scale smart---choose the right machines, tooling, and technologies to ramp effectively.

### What you'll tackle

* Build CNC processes end to end: tooling, fixturing, and multi-axis programming.
* Program with CAD/CAM (SolidWorks, Esprit, Siemens NX) and validate in VERICUT.
* Analyze workflows to boost productivity, slash waste, and standardize best practices.
* Drive root-cause investigations and lock in corrective/preventive actions.
* Produce clear work instructions, setup sheets, and SOPs that operators can trust.
* Coach machinists on probing, macro programming, and quality-first execution.
* Lead Lean initiatives---5S, Six Sigma, Kaizen---across the shop floor.
* Maintain safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance in every process.

### Do you bring the essentials?

* 5 years in CNC machining/process engineering with hands-on programming and setup.
* Mastery of multi-axis work: 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills and multi-axis mill-turn lathes.
* Fluent in reading drawings/specs and applying GD\&T (Y14.5).
* Comfortable with metrology tools and measurement systems.
* Lean/CI track record and strong root-cause problem solving.
* Team-first communicator who collaborates across departments.

### Nice to have

* BS in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or related field.
* ERP/MRP exposure---Epicor preferred.

### Domain strengths

* GD\&T
* CNC Programming
* Process Engineering
* Aerospace Manufacturing
* Experience in a Manufacturing Environment

### Tooling your success

* CNC Mill (3--4 axis VMC): Haas, Okuma, Makino, DMG Mori Seiki, Fanuc
* CNC Lathe (2--4 axis): Haas, Okuma, DMG Mori Seiki
* CNC Swiss Lathe: Tsugami
* CAD: SolidWorks, Siemens NX (NX CAD)
* CAM: Esprit, Siemens NX
* CNC Mill (5 axis VMC): Okuma, Fanuc, DMG Mori Seiki, Haas
* CNC Lathe (5 axis): Okuma, Index, DMG Mori Seiki

### Compliance

Must be a U.S. citizen.
