Help Manufacturers Get the Most Out of Their CNC Machines

This role exists because Marubeni Citizen-Cincom is committed to helping customers maximize the performance of their CNC equipment—not just selling machines.

As a CNC Applications Engineer, you'll work directly with manufacturers to develop machining processes, optimize production, train machinists, and solve real-world manufacturing challenges. Every day is different. One day you may be programming a Swiss lathe in the applications lab, the next you'll be helping a customer improve cycle times or proving out a complex new part.

If you're an experienced CNC programmer or Swiss machinist looking to move beyond production machining while staying hands-on with cutting-edge technology, this is an outstanding opportunity.

• Perform first-part runoffs and cycle time studies
