Production & Process Engineering

A growing advanced manufacturing company is seeking a Mechanical or Process Engineer with strong experience in precision CNC machining environments. This role will focus on developing, optimizing, and improving machining processes for highly engineered, tight-tolerance components used in a regulated manufacturing environment.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in CNC machining process improvement, GD&T, tooling/fixturing, and active experience creating, updating, or modifying engineering drawings using CAD software. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys process improvement, technical problem-solving, and collaborating cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities Develop and optimize CNC machining processes including milling, turning, and grinding operations

Improve cycle times, reduce scrap, and increase overall machine utilization

Create, update, and maintain engineering drawings, process documentation, routing instructions, and standard work procedures

Review drawings for manufacturability, tolerance requirements, GD&T, and machining feasibility

Select tooling, fixtures, and machining parameters for tight-tolerance components

Support new product introduction from prototype through full production

Perform root cause analysis related to dimensional, surface finish, or quality issues

Conduct capability studies and support SPC initiatives

Collaborate with production, programming, quality, and engineering teams to drive continuous improvement

Assist with equipment implementation, validation, and manufacturing process improvements

Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field

5+ years of experience in precision CNC machining environments

Active hands-on experience creating, updating, or modifying engineering drawings using CAD software
