  • The Manufacturing Engineer partners closely with machinists, quality, and engineering teams to take parts from concept through stable production.

Responsibilities:
CNC Programming & Process Development
  • Develop, program, and optimize CNC Swiss-lathe and screw machine programs using Mastercam.
  • Create and maintain machining processes for new and existing products, including operation sequences, tooling strategies, and setup documentation.
  • Support programs prove-out, debugging, and optimization on the shop floor to ensure production readiness.

Swiss & Lathe Machining Support
  • Provide technical support for Citizen, Star, Tsugami, or similar Swiss?type machines, as well as CNC lathe/screw machining operations.
  • Troubleshoot machining issues related to tooling, work holding, offsets, cycle time, surface finish, and part quality.
  • Assist machinists and operators with setup improvements, process stability, and best practices.

Tooling, Quality & Continuous Improvement
  • Select cutting tools, holders, and materials; optimize speeds, feeds, and cutting strategies.
  • Apply GD&T and blueprint interpretation to ensure parts meet dimensional and functional requirements.
  • Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, scrap reduction, and process standardization.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Collaborate with design engineering on DFM (Design for Manufacturability) during new product introduction.
  • Work closely with Quality, Production, and Supply Chain teams to resolve production issues and support on?time delivery
  • Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation including work instructions, routings, and control plans.
Desired Skills:
  • CNC Swiss programming & process optimization
  • Mastercam CAM programming
  • Tooling and work holding design
  • Root cause analysis and problem solving
  • Strong communication between engineering and shop floor teams
  • Continuous improvement mindset
