Manufacturing Engineer - CNC Programmer

Your Day at a Glance

As a Manufacturing Engineer you will develop manufacturing processes for new power-generation turbine airfoil components and provide continuous shop-floor support for non-conventional machining. You take full ownership of the manufacturing process from development through project completion.

Your work balances creation of process documentation with on-floor observation and improvement, data-driven process optimization, and collaboration with Product Engineering to enhance design manufacturability.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Develop and implement manufacturing processes and CNC programs for complex 4- and 5-axis milling of turbine airfoils.
• Select and design cutting tools, fixtures and machining strategies to optimize quality, cost and throughput.
• Provide hands-on shop-floor support to machinists, troubleshoot and improve machining processes.
• Collaborate with Product Engineering, Quality and Operations to resolve non-conformances and improve design manufacturability.
• Lead process-improvement and qualification projects including data analysis, DOE and documentation.
• Support production planning: quality control plans, quotations, tool inventory and CAPEX initiatives.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent experience plus 5+ years of proven 4- or 5-axis milling experience.
• Strong knowledge of conventional machining processes for complex turbine components (blades & vanes).
• Proficiency in Siemens NX and Teamcenter CAD/CAM and data management.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T and manufacturing specifications.
• Experience in CNC programming (online/offline) and fixture design for milling.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and collaboration skills in a production environment.
