Manufacturing Engineer IV

What you’ll do: This position is for 1st shift cnc programming and shop support / development. We are specifically looking for VTL and 5-axis mill (3+2 & 5-simultaneous) programmers. Program, process development, and shop support for one or more of the following:

• Large VTL up to 2.5mLarge VBM up to 2.5mLarge head-head Gantry 5-axis
• Large vertical multi-purpose turn/grind
• Generate and maintain CNC programs utilizing NX-CAM or other software. This could include multi-axis milling, turning, grinding and/or EDM.Verify new CNC programs prior to release on the shop floor utilizing Vericut.
• Incorporate on-machine probing using Renishaw cycles for part and process validation (including error trapping)
• Create programs following standards and qualified machining parameters
• Provide CNC related support to M.E. (Manufacturing Engineer) and provide operator training during new / rebuilt machine startup and / or process improvements.
• Provide daily operator support in the form of CNC programming and troubleshooting support to the shop floor.
• Support and implement tooling & fixturing requirements associated with CNC machine tools.
• Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC related issues.
• Initiate and lead process improvement projects to improve safety, quality, cost and delivery.
• Provide effective communication to appropriate team members when needed.
• Work effectively as an individual and in a team-based environment in a matrixed organization.
• Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while embracing and driving positive change inside and outside the organization when appropriate.
• Required Qualification 4 years of experience with graphical based CAM System CNC Programming. Siemens NX CAM experience preferred and will be given priority.
• What will make you stand out
• Experience creating 5-axis CNC programs using a CAM (preferably NX) system.
• Minimum of 1 year of experience with high-level machine tool controls including sub-routine(macro), Renishaw probing routine, and variable based programming, as well as CLM (closed loop machining)
• Significant "hands-on" background as a machinist, with the ability to personally setup and prove out complex first-piece programs.
• A track record of managing tight tolerances on large-format equipment (VTLs/VBMs/etc up to 2.5m) where part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability are critical factors
• Extensive experience machining nickel-based superalloys (Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, etc.) common in Heavy Duty Gas Turbine (HDGT) or Aerospace industry
• Strong problem solving and organization skills, with above average shop math skills in geometry and trigonometry.
• Experience using Vericut (preferred) or other CNC verification/machine simulation software.
• Strong familiarity with multiple machine controls including Fanuc, Haas, Okuma, & Siemens
• Demonstrated proficiency interpreting drawing requirements.
• Ability to multi-task and productively manage multiple projects concurrently.
