Are You the Engineer Who Turns Models Into Reality?
If you love translating CAD models into precise NC code and proving out first articles that become life-changing medical devices, read on.
Your Impact
Own CNC programming for milling, turning, and grinding—including multi-spindle, multi-axis, and Swiss-style equipment—supporting multiple sites.
Analyze drawings and 3D models to define cut paths, choose tooling, and determine speeds/feeds in line with customer specs, shop standards, and machine limits.
Drive DFM and process development with cross-functional teams, internally and externally.
Continuously improve: remove program errors, adopt new tooling and methods, and standardize legacy programs to current best practices to hit delivery dates.
Collaborate with Quality Engineering to build Process Control Plans, Manufacturing Inspection Plans, and define gaging/fixturing needs.
Perform machine setups for first-article and short-run NPI parts; occasionally support small production runs.
Design fixtures to streamline post-processing.
Adhere to the TOMZ Quality Management System and assist wherever needed.
What You’ll Need to Succeed
Associate degree in a technical/scientific field or equivalent experience.
At least 5 years programming CNCs and performing setups in medical device manufacturing (or similar regulated precision manufacturing).
Strong command of NC code, tooling, and manufacturing processes.
CAD/CAM proficiency; SolidWorks and Esprit are preferred.
Fluent in blueprint reading and GD&T.
Excellent communication skills with internal stakeholders and external partners.
Analytical mindset with the logic and reasoning needed to solve complex problems.
Physical Demands and Work Environment
Ability to bend, stoop, squat, kneel, and lift up to 50 lbs; team or mechanical assistance required beyond 50 lbs.
Exposure to oil, grease, noise, cleaning solvents, dust, metal particles, sparks, coolant, and sharp edges; PPE (safety glasses, dust masks, ear plugs, cut-resistant or chemical-resistant gloves) and engineering controls may be required.
Regular keyboard entry with potential frequent computer use.
