Advanced CNC Machining and NPI Engineer

Own the journey from concept to capable production

Imagine a complex aerospace component with tight GD&T callouts hitting your desk. You select the right multi-axis platform, design fixturing, simulate toolpaths in VERICUT, and stand up a repeatable process that ships right the first time—and faster the next. That’s the challenge you’ll lead every day.

Your mission

• Architect CNC manufacturing processes for NPI—tooling, fixtures, and multi-axis programming.
• Program and optimize with SolidWorks, Esprit, and Siemens NX; verify thoroughly in VERICUT.
• Drive throughput: analyze workflows, compress cycle times, and eradicate waste.
• Influence design-for-manufacturability with engineering partners early and often.
• Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; implement lasting corrective actions.
• Specify and select CNC equipment, tooling, and emerging technologies to enable scalable ramps.
• Create and sustain accurate process documentation—work instructions, setup sheets, SOPs.
• Develop talent on the floor through training in probing, macro programming, and quality standards.
• Sustain a Lean culture with 5S, Six Sigma, and Kaizen improvements.
• Maintain compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.

What you bring

• 5+ years of CNC machining and process engineering experience.
• Hands-on mastery of CNC programming, setup, and operation, including probing and macros.
• Deep capability in 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling and multi-axis mill-turn lathes.
• Fluency in engineering drawings/specifications and GD&T (Y14.5).
• Proficiency with metrology and measurement systems.
• Lean Manufacturing background with proven process optimization results.
• Analytical mindset with strong RCA and cross-functional communication skills.

Preferred

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• ERP/MRP familiarity; Epicor experience preferred.
