Job description

Summary of Position Mission

The Manufacturing Engineer: CNC plays an important role in the growth and development of manufacturing of Century Arms. The individual will be responsible for working with our New Product Development (NPD) group as well as our Sustainment Engineering group to create programs for CNC Mills, Lathes, EDM, and other similar equipment to produce consistent precision components and assemblies. The position requires an individual who will be hands on and will use their technical ability, critical thinking skills, and leverage industry techniques to develop or modify fixtures to bring parts from raw material state (billet, castings, forgings, extrusions) to finished part.
Responsibilities

  • Develop CNC programs using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software based on engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications. This will include long-hand programing to compile main and sub-programs.
  • Apply proper machining strategies, toolpaths, cutting parameters, and tooling to optimize machining processes and achieve desired outcomes.
  • Utilize knowledge of CNC machining techniques, including milling, turning, drilling, and grinding, to generate efficient and reliable programs for complex geometry and tight tolerances.
  • Tooling and Work holding Design:
  • Design tooling, fixtures, and work holding solutions to help CNC machining operations, ensuring proper tool access, stability, and alignment.
  • Select cutting tools, inserts, and tool holders based on material properties, machining requirements, and tool life considerations, with a focus on their impact on quality and manufacturing costs.
  • Analyze and optimize machining processes to improve cycle times, reduce scrap rates, and increase throughput.
  • Conduct time studies, tool life analyses, and process simulations to identify opportunities for process improvement and efficiency gains.
  • Implement Lean manufacturing principles and best practices to cut waste, streamline workflows, and enhance productivity in CNC machining operations.
  • Develop and implement quality control procedures, inspection plans, and in-process checks to ensure that machined components meet specified tolerances and quality standards.
  • Collaborate with quality assurance personnel to address non-conformances, implement corrective actions, and drive continuous improvement in product quality.
  • Perform dimensional inspections using precision measurement tools, such as micrometers, calipers, and CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines), to verify part dimensions and geometric tolerances.
  • Create and support documentation, including CNC programs, setup instructions, tooling lists, and process documentation, to ensure repeatability and consistency in machining operations.
  • Provide training and technical support to CNC machinists and operators on program setup, operation, and troubleshooting.
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and skill development within the machining team, promoting knowledge sharing and cross-training to enhance capabilities and versatility.
  • Adhere to all employment policies/safety policies/practices required by law/established by Company.
  • Wear all necessary Personal Protective Equipment as always directed by Company.
  • Immediately report any maintenance and/or safety issues to supervisor.
  • Maintain respect, courtesy, a positive attitude and professionalism towards all co-workers and the Company.
  • Actively participate and support the 5S process by maintaining a clean workstation and department.
  • Other duties assigned as required.
