Turnkey CNC Manufacturing Integration Engineer

Join us to architect production‑ready CNC and automation systems that set new benchmarks for speed, repeatability, and quality. Your mission: compress cycle time, raise throughput, and harden processes so they run right—every time.

Your Mandate

• Own CNC process creation: program, prove‑out, and optimize for robust, repeatable production.
• Author and refine CNC programs in Mastercam and other CAM platforms; develop toolpaths and posts.
• Design machining strategies, cutting parameters, tooling, workholding, and fixtures.
• Lift existing process performance—cycle time, OEE, tool life, quality—through data‑driven improvements.
• Deliver turnkey machining and automation solutions from concept through production release.
• Execute and support machine prove‑outs, run‑offs, installations, and customer acceptance.
• Diagnose and resolve issues: part quality, tool wear, chatter, dimensional variation, chip control, machine performance.
• Partner with CNC programmers, machinists, controls engineers, automation techs, and customers to remove constraints.
• Standardize processes and produce clear documentation for production use.
• Select cutting tools, fixtures, and workholding; define strategies for new parts and families.
• Mine production data to surface improvement and cost‑reduction opportunities.
• Integrate CNC assets with robotics, automated material handling, and manufacturing systems.
• Support commissioning and production launches for machines and automated cells.
• Plan and run tests; capture results, lessons learned, and provide recommendations.
• Provide on‑site troubleshooting and optimization support when needed.
• Continuously scan advancements in machining, tooling, CAM, and best practices.

End‑to‑End Ownership (Turnkey)

You’ll engineer the full value stream, not just the G‑code:

• Part handling and material flow
• Machine selection and configuration
• CNC programming
• Tool selection and management
• Workholding and fixturing
• Robotics and machine tending
• Cycle‑time optimization
• Chip and coolant management
• Inspection and quality requirements
• Process reliability and repeatability
• Operator interaction
• Production throughput

The outcome: a faster, more reliable, more profitable manufacturing process.

• Several years of CNC programming and machining in production settings.
• Expertise across milling and/or turning.
• Proven ability to build and optimize production CNC programs.
• Depth in tooling, feeds/speeds, fixturing, and machining fundamentals.
• Structured troubleshooting approach to process problems.
• Hands‑on at the machine during programming, prove‑out, and optimization.
• Analytical thinker; strong problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to read prints, GD&T, and manufacturing documentation.
• Clear communicator; strong collaborator with customers and cross‑functional teams.
• Willing to travel and work within active manufacturing environments.
