Develop, optimize, and maintain CNC programs for multi-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn machines using CAD/CAM software in the R&D department (e.g., Mastercam, Esprit, NX).
Interpret complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications to ensure accurate machining processes (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, NX).
Collaborate with engineering, production, and quality teams to improve manufacturability and reduce cycle times.
Select appropriate cutting tools, speeds, and feeds to maximize efficiency and tool life.
Conduct first article inspections and troubleshoot machining issues to ensure part conformance and quality standards.
Maintain and update CNC program libraries and documentation in accordance with company standards.
Champion Lean initiatives across the shop floor, focusing on waste reduction, cycle time improvement, and setup efficiency.
Lead equipment maintenance, calibration, and setup verification as needed
Maintain the R&D shop in a clean and orderly fashion
Provide DFA/DFM feedback to engineers as needed
Maintain new and existing vendor relationships as related to R&D

Qualifications:

Knowledgeable in basic computer operation, Microsoft Office products
Deep knowledge of G-code, multi-axis machining (3-, 4- and 5-axis) and mill-turn, blueprint reading, part and assembly tolerance, high-performance tooling and modern cnc machining practices and techniques
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
High mechanical aptitude
Experienced in low volume high mix production environment
Familiar with wide variety of materials from thermoplastics to ferrous and non-ferrous alloys
Familiar with design Vaults/PDM’s and MRP systems and digital manufacturing tools
Extensive hands-on experience in CNC programming, with demonstrated ability to independently program, troubleshoot, and optimize complex multi-axis operations.
Formal technical training in machining and CNC programming is preferred (trade school, technical institute, university program, or industry-recognized certification), though equivalent hands-on experience will be considered.
