• MRB support in rework instructions and corrective action to prevent reoccurrence.
• Plan sequence of operations for the fabrication of machined parts through the use of 2-axis lathes; 3 and 4-axis horizontal and vertical mills, Miyano & Nakamura 5-13 axis 2 spindle mill/turn with B-axis rotary tool spindle, as well as Matsuura 5-axis mill and conventional machining equipment or similar machinery.
• Create, revise, and maintain revision control on all the manufacturing process documents.
• Understand cellular manufacturing concepts and lean principles.
• Guide or train Associate Manufacturing Engineers as necessary.

Position Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering.
• 3-5 years’ experience in standard machining operations or manufacturing engineering, including turning, milling, mill/turns, gear cutting, deburring, and grinding. Experience in high technology CNC multi-axis machines is highly desirable.
• CAD design/drawing experience with CAD, CATIA V5, Solidworks, and/or Creo.
• Lean Manufacturing, LEAN tools, and Six Sigma knowledge is highly desirable.
• Capable of planning for production the machining and manufacturing process of a part from start to finish.
• Proficient in blueprint reading, understanding Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and interpreting 2D & 3D engineering models.
• Strong problem-solving skills to identify the root cause of manufacturing/machining anomalies and make corrections.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and react to shifting priorities to meet business needs.
• Demonstrated ability to meet deadlines and commitment.
