Job Summary
We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join our client's aerospace team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex aerospace designs and high-precision physical components. You will be the primary architect of our machining processes, utilizing Mastercam and SolidWorks to develop robust CNC programs for multi-axis lathes and mill-turn centers.
Duties
- Process Development: Design, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes for complex aerospace components.
- Develop complex CNC programs using Mastercam, specifically targeting Lathe (Turning) and Mill-Turn (multi-tasking) applications.
- Tooling & Fixturing: Design custom work-holding solutions and select optimal cutting tools to minimize cycle times and maximize tool life.
- NPI (New Product Introduction): Lead the transition of new designs from R&D to the production floor, including first-article inspection (FAI) support.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify bottlenecks and implement Lean Manufacturing principles to reduce scrap rates and improve "Right First Time" metrics.
- Technical Support: Provide on-floor troubleshooting for CNC operators to resolve programming errors, setup issues, or dimensional deviations.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- Proficiency in SolidWorks (modeling/assemblies) and Mastercam (2-axis turning through multi-axis mill-turn).
- Strong understanding of G-code, M-code, and macro programming for CNC Turning/Mill-Turn centers.
- Familiarity with GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and AS9100 quality management systems.
- Experience machining aerospace-grade alloys (e.g., Inconel, Titanium, Stainless 15-5/17-4, Aluminum).
- Experience with ESPRIT TNG or ESPRIT 20xx is highly preferred, particularly for Swiss-style machining or complex multi-tasking centers.
- Specific experience with complex mill-turn machines (e.g., Mazak Integrex, Mori Seiki NT/NL, or Okuma Multus).
- Deep knowledge of specialized coatings and geometries for high-temp alloys.
