POSITION OVERVIEW

This role designs and optimizes high-efficiency CNC programs for complex multi-axis machining setups cutting high-temperature superalloys, using an industry-leading hardware and software stack including Siemens NX, Vericut digital twin/virtual prototyping, custom multi-function grinding machines, large 5-axis mills, and closed-loop machining automation. The role partners closely with Manufacturing Engineers and shop-floor teams to commission new equipment, establish machining standards, and serve as a technical mentor on the floor.

TECHNOLOGY & EQUIPMENT

• CAD/CAM Suite: Siemens NX (5-Axis Continuous Milling, VTL, VBM, HBM, Multi-Axis EDM, etc.).
• Digital Twin & Virtual Prototyping: 100% simulation coverage utilizing Vericut and Siemens Run My Virtual Machine.
• Next-Gen Hardware: Custom 10-ton multi-function grinding machines, massive 5-axis mills, and large VTLs/VBMs up to 2.5m.
• Advanced Diagnostics & Automation: Closed-Loop Machining (CLM), custom Renishaw probing routines, Caron Engineering TMaC, and Modal Analysis (tap testing) hardware/software.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Process Architecture: Design and optimize high-efficiency CNC programs for complex multi-axis setups cutting high-temperature superalloys (Inconel, Rene, and exotic nickels).
• Virtual Prototyping: Use digital twin software (Vericut) to validate code and optimize toolpaths in a risk-free virtual environment before hitting the shop floor.
• Smart Machining: Develop adaptive probing routines, macro programming, and closed-loop machining processes to make complex setups smooth and predictable.
• New Equipment Integration: Partner with Manufacturing Engineers and shop-floor teams to commission new multi-million-dollar machine tools and establish baseline machining standards.
• Cross-Functional Teamwork: Act as a technical mentor and partner on the floor — troubleshooting setups, proving out first-piece components, and sharing knowledge across the team.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS/SKILLS

• Demonstrated experience programming 4 and 5-axis continuous milling, large VTLs, or multi-axis grinding systems using graphical CAM software (Siemens NX strongly preferred).
• 4 years minimum experience with offline programming in a CAM system.
• Experience machining high-temperature alloys or heavy structural parts, along with familiarity with modern controls (Siemens Sinumerik, Fanuc, Okuma, or Haas).
• Experience with on-machine probing, including Renishaw macros.
• A quality and safety mindset — pride in craftsmanship that prioritizes method setup, process stability, and safety over rushed code.
