  • Strengthen engineering standards, documentation, change control, and knowledge sharing.
  • Partner with operations, quality, maintenance, and company leadership to address capacity, delivery, cost, and quality challenges.
  • Track results through measures such as cycle time, scrap, rework, throughput, downtime, and on-time delivery.

Required Qualifications

  • Significant manufacturing engineering experience in a CNC machining environment, including recent, direct involvement in technical problem solving.
  • Demonstrated experience methodizing new work and developing manufacturing processes from engineering drawings through production.
  • Strong working knowledge of CNC programming, machining practices, cutting tools, workholding, and fixture design.
