Job Title: Manufacturing Engineer III
Location: Greenville, SC
Pay: $56.05/HR




Job Description:

  • Develop and optimize multi-axis motion paths for IPS dual 4-axis gantry machines using Fanuc 30i-B controllers. Utilize "teach-in" modes and manual G-code entry to program complex geometries including turbine wheel dovetail slots and other profiles.
  • Create and substantiate saturation curves (4-point minimum) to determine saturation time (1T) and ensure peening intensity falls within specified ranges.
  • Configure and calibrate critical machine parameters including air pressure, turntable RPM, nozzle distance/angles, and shot flow rates via MagnaValve controllers.
  • Perform 100% coverage validation. Conduct magnified inspections (up to 25x) to identify and prevent surface defects such as bulges, rolled edges, or over-peening on critical thin edges and radii.
  • Oversee shot classification and maintenance to ensure media meets fracture count and size distribution requirements for Cast Steel or Conditioned Cut Wire media.
  • Provide expert guidance on fixturing design and masking strategies to protect non-peen areas while allowing for proper "fadeout" in transition zones.
  • Act as the primary trainer for production operators and other engineers.
  • Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC related issues.
  • Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost, and delivery.
  • Provide effective communication to appropriate team members when needed.
  • Work effectively as an individual and in a team-based environment in a matrixed organization.
  • Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while embracing and driving positive change inside and outside the organization when appropriate.
  • Primary 1st shift coverage with flexibility to support development or training needs during off-shift hours.


What will make you stand out:

  • 3–5 years of specialized experience in automated shot peening, preferably in an aerospace or heavy industrial gas turbine OEM environment.
  • Proven ability to program Fanuc-based CNC machines and work with process control software (e.g., IPS CIMCAP).
  • Deep understanding of Almen strip handling, intensity measurement, and the mathematical derivation of saturation curves.
