Implement corrective actions that improve long-term process stability and repeatability.

Quality

Reinforce quality standards throughout the manufacturing process.
Monitor scrap, rework, and recurring manufacturing issues.
Ensure manufacturing processes and work instructions are consistently followed.
Support root cause investigations and corrective actions.
Maintain a manufacturing environment where quality is built into the process rather than inspected in afterward.

Continuous Improvement

Identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, productivity, and efficiency.
Improve workflow, machine utilization, and manufacturing consistency.
Recommend and implement process improvements.
Support the development of standardized manufacturing practices.

Minimum Qualifications

Minimum 5 years of CNC machining experience in a production manufacturing environment.

Strong understanding of CNC machining, machine setup, tooling, workholding, offsets, feeds and speeds, and troubleshooting.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T.
Experience using precision inspection equipment including micrometers, calipers, indicators, and gauges.
Strong communication, organizational, and decision-making skills.
Ability to prioritize work and respond effectively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Horizontal Machining Centers (HMCs).
Experience with Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs).
Experience with 4-axis and 5-axis machining.
Experience with CNC EDM.
Experience implementing process improvements.
Experience with ERP systems (Odoo preferred).
Lean Manufacturing or Continuous Improvement experience.

The Right Candidate

Manufacturing presents new challenges every day. Equipment issues, quality concerns, schedule changes, production interruptions, and customer priorities require timely decisions and effective leadership.

The successful candidate approaches those situations with professionalism, sound judgment, and a sense of ownership. They communicate effectively, support their team, make informed decisions, and maintain production while upholding quality and safety standards.

This position requires someone who leads by example, develops the people around them, and accepts responsibility for the performance of the manufacturing department.
