  • 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.
