  • Provide direct technical leadership in CNC programming (3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis preferred).
  • Optimize tool paths, cycle times, and cutting strategies for productivity and quality.
  • Support CAM programming using NX CAM and Fusion 360.
  • Troubleshoot machining issues including chatter, tolerance drift, tool wear, and fixturing challenges.
  • Review and approve NC programs, setup documentation, and process improvements.

Aerospace Quality & Compliance
  • Ensure compliance with AS9100, ISO 9001, and customer-specific aerospace requirements.
  • Support first article inspection per AS9102.
  • Develop robust process controls for critical and fracture-critical hardware.
  • Partner with quality teams on NCR resolution, RCCA, and continuous improvement.

Team Development
  • Recruit, train, and mentor machinists, programmers, and manufacturing technicians.
  • Build a high-performance culture focused on accountability, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.
  • Establish skill matrices and development plans.

Continuous Improvement
  • Implement Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma tools.
  • Lead kaizen events and cost reduction initiatives.
  • Drive automation opportunities including probing, tool monitoring, and lights-out machining.

What you'll bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Technology, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years in CNC machining/manufacturing leadership, preferably in aerospace or defense.
  • 3+ years managing teams in a machine shop environment.
  • Demonstrated success standing up or significantly scaling CNC operations.

  • Strong knowledge of fixturing and tooling strategy.

Preferred
  • Experience with Mori Seiki, Wells Index & DMG MORI
  • Experience with NX CAM and post processing.
  • Experience implementing MES/ERP systems in manufacturing.
  • Knowledge of automation/robotic cell integration.
