Senior CNC Tooling and OEE Lead

Are You Ready to Elevate a CNC Cell?

Can you cut cycle time without sacrificing quality? Translate CMM data into on‑the‑fly program adjustments? Keep tooling, spare parts, and PMs perfectly synchronized? If that sounds like your kind of challenge, you’ll thrive leading our CNC machining area.

Your Mission

• Be the point leader for Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery, and People in your area—communicating clearly, solving problems collaboratively, and aligning work to company objectives.
• Program and optimize G‑code/M‑code for mills and lathes; verify results using CMM output and adjust offsets or process parameters.
• Support prototypes, full production, and product launches in close partnership with engineering.
• Own tooling lifecycle and spare parts readiness so machines never wait.
• Ensure scheduled preventative maintenance happens and tackle maintenance troubleshooting.
• Resolve issues across production, prototype, and launch builds.
• Check coolant concentration daily and bring back to spec as needed.
• Lift OEE by reducing downtime and driving faster, stable cycle times.
• Confirm all customer minimum process requirements are capable and functioning on every CNC machine.
• Train and assist operators; run machines or assembly operations when the situation calls for it.

First 90 Days: What You’ll Tackle

• Lead a quick‑hit Kaizen to remove a bottleneck and capture measurable cycle‑time gains.
• Implement a daily coolant standard work routine and visual 5S for tooling.
• Validate PM compliance and close the loop on common alarms with root‑cause fixes.
• Build a training checklist for operator loading, basic offsets, and quality checks.

How We Work

• Operate to the Quality Management System, Environmental Management System, Safety practices, and Management Operating System documents.
• Follow company rules and practices outlined in the Employee Handbook.
• Keep the workplace audit‑ready using 5S and sound housekeeping.
• Engage Lean tools—Kaizen, Kanban, OEE, SMED, and Six Sigma—to drive continuous improvement.
• Meet or exceed targets for production rates, scrap, conformance to customer requirements, tooling maintenance, and delivery schedules.
• Model safe behaviors, report hazards promptly, and foster a strong team culture.
• Maintain reliable attendance.

What You Need

• High School diploma or GED.
• 2+ years of CNC programming experience.
• Strong command of GD&T, equipment troubleshooting, CNC tooling, CNC programming, CNC machine repair and installation, G‑code/M‑code, and setting up machines for production runs.

Machines You’ll Command

• 3–4 axis VMCs: Fanuc, Mazak, Doosan, Makino, Brother, DMG Mori Seiki.
• 2–4 axis CNC lathes.

Physical Requirements

• Stand for up to 10 hours; twist, turn, and bend to the floor as needed.
• Exert 20–50 lbs occasionally; 10–20 lbs to load product.
• Lift 30–45 lbs occasionally.
