This lead role covers CNC programming for the whole factory, spanning every component, process and machine.

You will work alone and within a team in a matrixed organization, often under time pressure, and help drive change within and beyond the team.

Responsibilities

• Write and maintain CNC programs in NX-CAM or other software, including multi-axis milling, turning, grinding and/or EDM work.
• Check every new program in Vericut before it goes to the shop floor.
• Assist manufacturing engineers with CNC questions, and train operators when new or rebuilt machines start up or when processes change.
• Give daily hands-on help to operators with programming and troubleshooting.
• Set up and support tooling and fixturing for CNC machine tools.
• Write workstation instructions (methods) for CNC issues.
• Start and lead projects that improve safety, quality, cost and delivery.

• Desired: Bachelor's degree in engineering or machine tool technology.
• Desired: experience building 5-axis CNC programs in a CAM system, NX preferred.
• Desired: Vericut experience preferred, or experience with other CNC verification or machine simulation software.
• Desired: solid working knowledge of Fanuc, Haas, Okuma and SIEMENS SINUMERIK ONE controls.
• Desired: proven ability to read drawings.
• Desired: knowledge of machining high temperature alloys used in gas turbines.
• Desired: strong problem solving and organizing skills, with above-average shop math in geometry and trigonometry.
• Desired: able to communicate clearly with many levels of an organization, both spoken and written.
