The role combines hands-on programming of complex aerospace and defense components with leadership of team training, process development, and probing systems for lights-out production. The successful candidate will prove out programs on five-axis machining centers and collaborate with automation and software specialists on tooling, workholding, pallet strategies, and CAM workflow automation. Responsibilities may also include managing a machine shop or programming team and developing or maintaining post-processors. Candidates should have at least five years of relevant experience and expert-level Siemens NX CAM skills, along with strong knowledge of CNC manufacturing, programming, and milling. Experience with complex materials such as titanium, Inconel, and aluminum, as well as in-process probing, macro and offset programming, and in-cycle inspection using Heidenhain, Siemens, or Fanuc controls, is required.
