CNC Manufacturing Engineer

The Opportunity - VERY exciting Engineering gig!
We are seeking a hands on Manufacturing Engineer to play a key role in advancing our internal machine shop capabilities and supporting the development and implementation of new manufacturing technologies.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product development, and shop operations. You will work closely with our engineering team and leadership to bring new machines online, test and validate new capabilities, and improve manufacturing processes.

A key part of this role is helping us build a “digital twin” of expert level manufacturing knowledge by capturing decades of hands on experience and translating it into structured processes, documentation, and digital systems. The objective is to significantly reduce the skill barrier for complex setups, accelerate training, and enable a new model of manufacturing that is less dependent on hard to find expert machinists.

This is a hands on role requiring both shop floor involvement and engineering analysis, with opportunities to influence product development, manufacturing strategy, and the future direction of our shop.

Key Responsibilities

• Bring up, test, and validate new machine tools in the shop, including advanced turning and multi axis systems
• Work with engineering teams to identify and resolve product issues during machine and feature development
• Develop and test real world machining applications using TRAK machines and new technologies
• Implement and validate new machine capabilities such as broaching, hobbing, and advanced machining features
• Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs using CAM software and G code
• Design and develop fixtures and workholding solutions to support production and new product development
• Collaborate with software and engineering teams to improve internal tools, including defining enhancements to shop management systems such as the TRAK Dashboard and Digital Job Folders
• Evaluate current manufacturing processes and setups to identify opportunities for improvement in efficiency, repeatability, and ease of use
• Support the integration of new technologies, including automation and robotics, into shop operations
• Capture and translate shop knowledge into standardized processes, documentation, and systems to reduce setup complexity and training time
• Work closely with machinists and engineers to troubleshoot issues and implement practical solutions on the shop floor
• Utilize and explore AI tools and technologies to improve engineering productivity, knowledge capture, and manufacturing processes

Required Qualifications

• BS or MS in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (HARD REQUIREMENT)
• 7+ years (flexible) of experience in a CNC machining or manufacturing environment
• Proven ability to work hands on in a shop environment while also performing engineering analysis and development work

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with NX CAD and CAM or similar advanced systems
• SolidWorks experience for fixture and mechanical design
• Experience with multi axis machining including 4 axis, 5 axis, and mill turn systems
• Exposure to automation and robotics in manufacturing environments
• Experience working with or implementing AI tools in engineering or manufacturing workflows

Pay: $135,000.00 - $175,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Parental leave
• Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
