Join Us in Bend, Oregon as a Mastercam CNC Manufacturing Process Engineer (Aerospace)
Imagine starting your morning by opening a new aerospace work order in an AS9100-certified shop, reviewing the traveler and BOM, and mapping out the most efficient path to a flawless part. By midday, you’re creating and validating 3- and 4-axis toolpaths in Mastercam for mill, lathe, and multi-tasking mill/turn work. In the afternoon, you’re on the floor with Machinists proving out code, dialing in feeds and speeds, and capturing improvements for the next run. Between cycles, you design a custom work-holding fixture in SolidWorks that unlocks higher repeatability and throughput. That’s a day in this role.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and verify Mastercam programs for 3- and 4-axis mills and lathes, including complex mill/turn operations.
- Collaborate on prove-outs with Machinists; refine programs for safety, accuracy, and optimal cycle times.
- Design fixtures and tooling in SolidWorks to support rigid, reliable setups for tight-tolerance aerospace components.
- Create setup sheets, validate Bills of Materials, and maintain travelers for clear, consistent execution on the floor.
- Champion continuous improvement while aligning with AS9100 standards; coordinate closely with Management, Quality, and Production Control to resolve technical issues.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of hands-on programming for 3- and 4-axis CNC equipment; aerospace background preferred.
- Expert-level Mastercam capability; SolidWorks and ERP exposure (Infor Visual) is a plus.
- Deep fluency in GD&T and advanced shop math (including trigonometry).
- Experience machining both metallic and non-metallic materials and familiarity with precision sheet metal processes.
- Clear, professional communication; able to operate independently while fostering a culture of respect and ethical responsibility.
Technical Proficiencies
- CNC Tooling; CNC Programming
- G-Code and M-Code
- CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
- Precision Measurement & Hand Metrology
- Advanced Inspection & Gauge Measurement
