Interface Flooring Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Lead the digital manufacturing function for a state-of-the-art CLT facility, transforming design models into machine-ready manufacturing data that drives safe, efficient, and high-quality production. This hands-on leadership role oversees shop drawings, CNC programming, digital workflows, and process standards while building and developing a high-performing digital manufacturing team. Partnering closely with engineering, production, quality, and operations teams, the Digital Manufacturing Manager ensures seamless execution from design through fabrication while driving continuous improvement across manufacturing systems and workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the digital manufacturing function and establish the operating model, priorities, staffing plan, and capability roadmap for the facility.
• Partner with Talent Team to recruit, onboard, train, schedule, coach, and develop CNC operators and digital manufacturing personnel as the operation grows.
• Define team roles, decision rights, handoffs, escalation paths, and coverage needed to support production schedules and critical program releases.
• Establish practical performance measures for program readiness, first-run success, quality, material yield, cycle time, rework, downtime, and on-time support to production.
• Create a culture of ownership, disciplined problem-solving, documentation, cross-training, and continuous improvement.
• Convert Revit-based design models into fabrication-ready components using hsbCAD, including single-piece shop drawings, assemblies, and part-level geometry suitable for manufacturing.
• Own the full digital thread from design intent through shop drawings, nesting, machine programs, release, revision, execution, and as-built feedback.
• Maintain alignment and data consistency across Revit, hsbCAD, production planning, press-line systems, CNC equipment, and downstream quality records.
• Partner with design and engineering teams to resolve incomplete, conflicting, or non-manufacturable information before release to production.
• Develop and refine billet layouts, master-panel nesting, and breakdown strategies to maximize material yield, minimize waste, and align with press constraints, CNC capabilities, handling requirements, and production sequencing.
• Ensure panel layups, layer orientation, adhesive zones, machining operations, tolerances, and part identification are correctly defined and executable.
• Provide manufacturing and cutting-efficiency feedback to estimating and sales to support pricing, project planning, and manufacturability decisions.
• Generate, validate, release, and manage XML outputs for the CLT press line and BTL or other CNC programs for machining equipment.
• Own manufacturing and CNC data readiness, confirming completeness, compatibility, revision status, and release authorization before programs reach the production floor.
• Establish and enforce file structures, naming conventions, version control, approvals, backups, and change-management practices that support traceability and reduce production risk.
• Partner with operations during setup, commissioning, first-run validation, and ramp-up to ensure programs run as intended and meet safety, quality, throughput, and schedule expectations.
• Operate CNC equipment as needed to test, verify, troubleshoot, and improve programs while building operator capability and reducing reliance on engineering handoffs.
• Conduct simulations, dry runs, and first-piece validation to confirm geometry, tooling, machining accuracy, tolerances, and cycle time before full production release.
• Lead rapid resolution of geometry conflicts, toolpath errors, tooling limitations, machine constraints, control issues, and program failures through direct shop-floor engagement.
• Coordinate with controls, automation, IT/OT, and equipment partners to support reliable execution of XML, machine logic, production data exchange, and system interfaces.
• Help define requirements and priorities for digital manufacturing systems, integrations, upgrades, software, tooling, and equipment improvements.
• Maintain a disciplined approach to access, configuration, backups, testing, and change control in coordination with applicable company requirements.
• Verify digital outputs meet project specifications, tolerances, fabrication requirements, and QA/QC expectations, minimizing downstream rework and field risk.
• Develop standard details, parametric templates, libraries, checklists, work instructions, and repeatable workflows that improve speed, accuracy, and scalability.
• Analyze recurring issues and lead corrective actions that improve automation, nesting efficiency, program quality, uptime, cycle time, and first-run success.
• Document lessons learned and feed production results back into design standards, estimating assumptions, training, and future project execution.
• Coordinate with production planning to align nests, panel breakdowns, program releases, staffing, and machine capacity with manufacturing schedules and installation sequencing.
• Communicate program readiness, constraints, risks, priorities, and recovery actions clearly to manufacturing leadership and cross-functional partners.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, production, quality, controls, maintenance, planning, estimating, sales, and project teams to align design intent with manufacturing capability.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, construction, wood science, digital fabrication, or a related technical field; an equivalent combination of education and substantial hands-on experience will be considered.
• Progressive experience in digital fabrication, CNC programming, CAD/CAM, applications engineering, or manufacturing engineering within an industrial environment.
• Demonstrated experience leading people, projects, technical teams, or manufacturing functions, with the ability to build a team and operating discipline in a growing facility.
• Experience generating and validating machine-ready outputs such as XML, BTL, CNC programs, or comparable production data.
• Strong understanding of CNC machining, programming, tooling, machine constraints, manufacturing tolerances, and production problem-solving.
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents, shop drawings, fabrication details, and technical specifications.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and translate technical requirements into clear priorities and executable work for operators and production teams.
• Ability to work in an industrial environment and support production-floor activities, commissioning, troubleshooting, and off-shift needs when required.
• Comfortable moving between strategy, technical work, team development, and direct shop-floor support.
• Able to create a function, develop people, establish standards, and scale capability as production grows.
• Ownership and judgment: Makes disciplined release decisions, escalates risk early, and follows issues through resolution.
• Technical problem-solving: Diagnoses complex interactions among geometry, software, tooling, controls, machines, material, and process.
• Balances quality, safety, schedule, throughput, material yield, maintainability, and long-term capability.
• Provides clear direction, documents decisions, and aligns technical and operational stakeholders.
• Combination of office, engineering, and active manufacturing-floor work in a CLT production environment.
• Regular use of computers, CAD/CAM applications, production systems, and CNC interfaces.
• Use of required personal protective equipment and compliance with all site safety requirements.
• Occasional schedule flexibility may be needed to support commissioning, first runs, production interruptions, or critical troubleshooting.
