Do you speak G-code and think in tolerances?
Picture this: a new aerospace part hits your inbox. The TDP is dense, the geometry unforgiving. You’re the engineer who turns ambiguity into a rock-solid plan — programming the toolpaths, choosing the cutters, creating fixtures, and proving the setup before the first chip flies. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, read on.
Your mission
- Translate contract and TDP requirements into routings and business-system entries that guide execution.
- Build precise CNC programs for complex, tight-tolerance components.
- Engineer tooling and fixturing solutions that stabilize quality and reduce cycle time.
- Own critical machine setups; qualify processes and hand off to production with confidence.
- Drive lean/process improvements that eliminate waste and variation.
- Train, mentor, and be the trusted resource for best programming and machining practices.
- Support quality planning, including sampling approaches and verification strategies.
- Partner with estimating to plan hours, methods, and risk for incoming work.
- Contribute across process engineering as needed to keep the operation moving.
- Ensure all work aligns with solicitation and contractual obligations.
- Operate with a high degree of responsibility and minimal supervision.
