2. Production Support :
   
   • Provide technical support to CNC operators and production teams to troubleshoot issues related to machining processes, tooling, and equipment.
   • Ensure all CNC programs are optimized for maximum machine utilization, tool life, and part quality.
3. Continuous Improvement :
   
   • Identify areas for process improvement and lead continuous improvement projects using lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma, or other process improvement methodologies.
   • Drive initiatives to reduce downtime, improve throughput, and enhance overall production efficiency.
4. Quality Assurance :
   
   • Develop and implement quality control measures, ensuring that all machined components meet customer specifications and company quality standards.
   • Monitor and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) such as scrap rates, cycle times, and machine utilization.
5. Tooling and Equipment Management :
   
   • Specify and procure necessary tools, fixtures, and equipment for CNC operations.
   • Collaborate with tool suppliers and vendors to ensure the best performance and cost-effectiveness.
6. Cross-Department Collaboration :
   
   • Work closely with design engineers, production supervisors, and quality assurance teams to ensure the smooth transition of new products from development to production.
   • Assist in training CNC operators and other staff in new processes, equipment, and technologies.
7. Documentation & Compliance :
   
   • Create and maintain detailed process documentation, including work instructions, process flow diagrams, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
   • Ensure compliance with industry standards (ISO, ASME, etc.) and company-specific quality requirements.

• Education :
  
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing) are a plus.
• Experience :
  
  • 5+ years of experience in a CNC machining or manufacturing environment.
  • Strong knowledge of CNC programming (e.g., G-code, CAM software) and machine setup.
  • Hands-on experience with precision machining processes, including milling, turning, grinding, and multi-axis CNC operations.
• Skills :
  
  • Proficiency in CAD/CAM software (Mastercam) and CNC machine programming.
  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma, and other continuous improvement methodologies.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, to work with cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to multitask and work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Competitive salary and benefits package
