We're looking for a hands-on Senior Manufacturing Engineer with real CNC machining expertise to lead process improvements, capital projects, and technical problem-solving on our machining floor. This role is the go-to technical resource for CNC machining, turning, milling, grinding, and related manufacturing systems — diagnosing issues, optimizing processes, and leading projects from concept through launch. You'll work closely with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Supply Chain, and Product Engineering.
Provide hands-on technical expertise across CNC machining, turning, milling, grinding, honing, and broaching — including troubleshooting issues that affect safety, quality, delivery, or cost
Establish and optimize process parameters (speeds/feeds, tool life, coolant, work-holding, tooling strategy) and own equipment, tooling, fixture, and gauging processes
Lead capital and engineering projects from scope through installation, commissioning, and final acceptance, including procurement, RFQs, and ROI analyses
Serve as the plant's subject matter expert on machining technology, mentoring engineers and technicians and driving cross-functional problem-solving
Lead continuous improvement efforts — cost reduction, waste elimination, and root-cause corrective action

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related field
4+ years of manufacturing engineering experience, with a focus on machined components and assemblies
Hands-on CNC machining expertise, including fluency in G-code and M-code
Experience processing parts — sequencing operations to consistently produce quality results, not just running the machine
Strong knowledge of tooling, fixtures, gauging, and manufacturing systems, with a track record of solving complex process problems
Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working cross-functionally with operations, maintenance, quality, and suppliers
