Essential Duties & Key Responsibilities Include:

* Develop, simulate, and optimize CNC machining processes using CAM software and G-code.

* Maintain standardized documentation for programs, tool paths, setup sheets, and cycle times.

* Lead Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews with cross-functional teams to enhance production readiness.

* Support setup and troubleshooting of multi-axis CNC equipment, including 4th/5th axis and live-tooling lathes.

* Provide on-site technical support and guidance during process launches.

* Investigate and resolve machining issues using root cause analysis and corrective actions.

* Lead GR&R studies, capability analysis (CPK, SPC), first-article inspections, and support PPAP submissions.

* Collaborate with controls engineers to design and refine robotic cells and automation systems.

* Program and adjust robotic systems, including teach points, logic, and error recovery.

* Identify and implement lights-out and semi-attended automation opportunities.

* Mentor technicians and junior engineers in process development and continuous improvement.

* Serve as liaison between production, quality, and design engineering to align objectives.

* Coordinate pilot runs, validate new equipment, and execute engineering changes on the shop floor.

* Develop and implement standardized work instructions and visual process controls.

* Support production efficiency and capability across diverse CNC machining platforms.

* Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace while promoting continuous improvement.
