Manufacturing Engineer

As a highly experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) in CNC Programming & Manufacturing Engineering, your role will involve implementing global standardization and technical innovation. While CNC programming is a significant aspect of your responsibilities, you will also play a crucial role in supporting manufacturing engineering and process excellence. Your expertise will be instrumental in mentoring and ensuring excellence in multi-axis machining, turning, grinding, advanced tooling design, and complex aerospace component repair and new make products. Key Responsibilities: - Develop, review, and execute complex multi-axis CNC programming (3-5 axis) using digital manufacturing techniques. - Provide technical mentorship to manufacturing engineers, technologists, and technicians. - Ensure efficient technology transfer from engineering to operations. - Identify and implement engineering solutions to reduce cycle times and fabrication costs. - Design advanced work-holding solutions to enhance both legacy and new processes. - Demonstrate advanced knowledge of CNC programming, traditional machining processes, and aero-engine materials/alloys. - Provide technical leadership by leading the Global Communities of Practice to establish and communicate Standard Operating Procedures, manufacturing guidelines, and process maturity matrices for diverse machining applications. - Collaborate with global organizations to implement best practices and promote method and equipment standardization. - Support skill development and mentoring for CAD/CAM software and advanced machining techniques. - Utilize strong problem-solving and influencing skills to address manufacturing bottlenecks. - Ensure that manufacturing processes align with customer specifications and internal quality standards. Qualifications: - Minimum of 15+ years of progressive experience in engineering-level projects involving complex manufacturing challenges, particularly in the aerospace industry. - Demonstrated experience in manufacturing, automation, DFM, optimization, and implementation within a production environment. - Previous experience in supporting multi-site or global manufacturing operations. - Willingness to travel 50% or more. Education Requirements: - Bachelors degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Materials Engineering, or relevant industrial engineering experience preferred.
