Manager Cnc Programmer Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Job Description Summary: Engineering associated with the manufacturing process. Responsible for departmental operations planning/execution or is focused on execution of professional activities within a technical discipline. Functions with some autonomy but guided by established policies or review of end results. The job allows modification of procedures and practices covering work as long as the end results meet standards of acceptability (quality, volume, timeliness etc.). Job Description Engineering associated with the CNC programming and machining process. Impacts approaches, projects and programs in the functional area or affected business organization and ways of working. Impacts the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of own team through expert CNC programming, optimization, and technical support. Has significant input into priorities for CNC process development and improvement. Guided by professional practices and policies that are shaped by the role. The role has moderate autonomy, requiring high levels of operational judgment on the shop floor and in the digital manufacturing environment.

Leads CNC programming and manufacturing engineering tasks focused on CNC milling and turning in a high‑mix, low‑volume environment, with primary responsibility for creating, validating, and maintaining CNC programs and digital process definitions. Develops, optimizes, and maintains CNC programs (including toolpaths, cutting strategies, and machining parameters) using CAM software to meet safety, quality, delivery, and cost targets. Owns CNC process definition including tooling selection, workholding/fixturing concepts, setup methods, and standard work, ensuring programs are robust, repeatable, and operator‑friendly. Proves out new or revised CNC programs on the shop floor, collaborating with machinists to validate first‑article runs, adjust feeds/speeds, improve tool life, and eliminate defects. Serves as a best‑practice and quality resource for CNC programming standards, machining strategies, tooling libraries, post‑processors, and setups. Maintains awareness of latest technical developments in CNC machines, cutting tools, CAM software, and advanced machining strategies in own area; recommends and implements upgrades to improve performance. Analyzes machining performance data (cycle time, scrap/rework, dimensional capability, tool life, spindle utilization) to refine CNC programs, reduce variation, and improve throughput. Troubleshoots CNC‑related issues (program errors, dimensional nonconformances, surface finish, chatter, tool failures) and implements sustainable corrective actions through program and process changes. Uses judgment to solve moderately complex CNC programming and machining problems, including part manufacturability, process routing, and optimization of multi‑operation/multi‑machine flows. Takes new perspectives on existing programs and setups, simplifying processes, reducing number of operations, and standardizing tooling and programming methods across product families. Creates and maintains clear technical documentation such as setup sheets, tool lists, work instructions, program revision histories, and machining process standards.
