Job description

Make Things That Matter, Early in Your Career

Picture your first 90 days: you arrive at our Northbrook, IL facility, open a fresh CAD model for a new composite component, and turn customer specs into build-ready drawings. By mid-morning, you’re validating GD&T, checking tolerances, and collaborating with machinists to choose the right tools and workholding. After lunch, you refine a CNC program for a complex contour, simulate the toolpath, and walk to the climate-controlled shop to see your code bring the part to life. Before heading out, you capture lessons learned in clear documentation so the next run is faster and more repeatable.

Where You’ll Work

Atlas Fibre — 3411 Woodhead Dr, Northbrook, IL 60062

What You’ll Do
  • Create detailed CAD models and drawings for NPI and production parts.
  • Author and maintain engineering documentation that guides fabrication and manufacturing.
  • Interpret part specs and evaluate the feasibility of design concepts.
  • Design and support custom fixtures to improve internal setups and repeatability.
  • Apply GD&T and relevant engineering standards across all designs.
  • Thrive in a high-mix, low-volume, fast-paced production setting.
  • Program CNC toolpaths for intricate geometries, optimizing strategies for quality and throughput.
  • Communicate closely with operators and engineers to solve problems and streamline processes.
  • Troubleshoot in-process issues and refine designs to enhance manufacturability and reduce cost.
What You Bring
  • BS in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or related Engineering preferred (or equivalent experience).
  • 1–3 years in a manufacturing or engineering role.
  • Comfort with Google Workspace/Microsoft Office.
  • Experience with engineering tools such as SolidWorks, Mastercam, or Onshape.
  • Foundational knowledge of CNC machining and fabrication processes.
  • Working familiarity with GD&T and standard engineering practices.
  • Strong analytical mindset, with solid problem-solving and organizational habits.
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Clear written and verbal communication; collaborative approach with cross-functional teams.
  • Self-starter who learns quickly in a hands-on manufacturing setting.
Benefits & Growth
  • Competitive pay: $63,000 – $82,000 per year based on experience
  • Great medical and dental plans
  • Life insurance fully paid by the company
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid vacation and sick time
  • Tuition reimbursement to fuel your development
  • Clear paths for advancement as our business scales
  • A collaborative, innovative culture that values diversity and inclusivity
Environment & Impact

Work in a climate-controlled facility with state-of-the-art CNC equipment. You’ll experience typical shop noise and composite dust (we provide proper PPE). Your work will support industries pushing the limits of materials science and engineering—and you’ll gain exposure to real-world manufacturing challenges while helping craft precise, reliable composite solutions.

Core Proficiencies
  • CNC Programming
  • CAD Software
  • Process Engineering
  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
  • Mechanical Design & Engineering
  • CAD/CAM Software
  • Blueprint Reading
Tools & Technologies
  • CNC Router
  • CAD Software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Onshape)
Logistics
  • Job Type: Full-time, On-site
  • Commute required to Northbrook, IL 60062
Ready to Apply?

If you’re excited to turn CAD into chips and help build innovative composite components, we’d love to meet you.
