Lead Manufacturing Engineer- CNC Metrology & Probing Integration

CNC Metrology & Probing Integration Specialist

Are you passionate about innovation? Are you excited at the opportunity to electrify and decarbonize the world? We operate with a founder's mindset. We deliver innovation with passion, speed, and courage. We continuously challenge our thinking and are empowered to dream big and take smart risks.

As a member of the Process Industrialization team, you will help define, develop, and industrialize advanced CNC probing and on-machine metrology solutions that improve manufacturing capability, process consistency, and product quality. You will be responsible for implementing robust probing strategies across CNC platforms to reduce setup variation, improve in-process verification, and support more capable and repeatable manufacturing processes for critical components.

If you know how to turn CNC probing and measurement technology into practical, production-ready solutions, we want you. We are seeking a hands-on, experienced CNC Metrology & Probing Integration Specialist to lead the development, implementation, validation, and standardization of on-machine probing applications in a production environment. This role combines CNC programming, control logic, in-process measurement strategy, hardware integration, process validation, and cross-functional problem solving, all while operating within our SQDC (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost) values. You will work in a multidisciplinary environment, partnering across manufacturing, quality, operations, and engineering teams to deliver sustainable process improvements.

Your main mission will be to develop, industrialize, and standardize CNC probing and on-machine metrology solutions that support quality, productivity, and manufacturing capability improvements. Develop, implement, and optimize probing routines for part setup, work offset setting, part alignment, in-process feature verification, and tool checking across CNC platforms used in production. Create and maintain machine-level probing logic, macros, and standardized routines that improve consistency, reduce setup dependency, and strengthen process control. Support closed-loop machining applications using probing data to update work offsets, coordinate alignment, and tool wear offsets where appropriate. Develop probing approaches for complex features, including multi-axis and non-orthogonal geometries, based on product requirements and machine capability. Support installation, calibration, troubleshooting, and sustainment of spindle probes, tool setters, and related machine-integrated metrology hardware. Establish standard methods, programming practices, recovery procedures, and best practices for probing applications across the shop. Translate drawing requirements, GD&T, and critical product characteristics into practical on-machine measurement routines. Partner with quality and manufacturing teams to validate on-machine measurement performance through repeatability studies, data correlation, and process verification activities. Investigate probing-related failures, instability, and process variation, and lead or support structured root-cause analysis and corrective actions. Support development of work instructions, setup documentation, validation records, control plans, and training materials. Train and support programmers, engineers, and operators on standardized probing methods, troubleshooting practices, and effective use of machine-integrated metrology systems. Collaborate across engineering, operations, and quality teams to deliver scalable, sustainable solutions in a production environment.

This role is 100% time on GE Vernova located in Greenville, SC site.

Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, or related technical field.

Experience: Minimum 3 years of experience in CNC machining, CNC programming, manufacturing engineering, metrology, or a related production engineering role. Experience with CNC probing, machine setup, offsets, in-process verification, or machine-integrated measurement systems in a manufacturing environment. Experience with at least one major CNC control platform such as Fanuc, Siemens, Okuma, or Haas. Ability to read engineering drawings and apply GD&T concepts in manufacturing or inspection processes. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively across technical and operational teams. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability and desire to work on site in a manufacturing environment. Ability to work off-shift or flexible schedule at times- as required by project timelines.
