  • Interpret engineering drawings and 3D models to develop efficient machining strategies.
  • Design and document work holding and fixturing solutions for repeatable and accurate machining processes.
  • Select appropriate cutters, tooling, and machining parameters based on material, tolerance, and machine capability.
  • Support setup and prove-out on the shop floor, adjusting toolpaths, feeds, and speeds as needed.
  • Utilize probing cycles and Macro B programming to automate setup, verification, and in-process checks.
  • Troubleshooting challenges including chatter, dimensional variation, work holding, and tool performance issues.
  • Create and maintain setup sheets, tool lists, and process documentation.
  • Collaborate across engineering, production, and quality to ensure manufacturability and repeatability.
  • Drive process improvements related to cycle time, tool life, quality, and workflow efficiency.
  • Assist the Quoting team with accurate cycle time and fixture cost estimates.
  • Create detailed setup layouts in SolidWorks, including work holding, datums, tooling clearance, and machine orientation to support accurate and repeatable setups.

REQUIRED SKILLS / ATTRIBUTES
  • 3-5 years' experience programming CNC machining centers.
  • Proficiency with CAD/CAM platforms such as SolidWorks, Edgecam, or Mastercam.
  • Strong knowledge of material machinability, cutting tools, and machining parameters.
  • Hands-on experience with Vertical Machining Centers (3-5 axis) and Horizontal Machining Centers.
  • Ability to create fixtures, work holding, and tooling concepts.
  • Strong understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T, and tolerancing.
  • Experience with probing cycles and Macro B programming.
  • Ability to independently manage projects from concept to production ready.
  • Ability to work closely with and train Process Engineers and machine operators.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
