Find & Apply For Manufacturing Engineer Jobs in Grantsburg, Wisconsin

Your day at a glance You start by reviewing a new Technical Data Package (TDP) and the contract requirements. You translate both into clear routings and business-system entries, then open your preferred CAD/CAM suite to build efficient, reliable CNC programs for complex, tight-tolerance components. Before lunch, you select cutting tools, design or refine a custom fixture, and head to the floor to perform a critical setup. You qualify the process, capture learnings, and hand off a proven method to the machinist who'll run production. Later, you walk a cell to spot waste, proposing a lean tweak that trims cycle time and improves repeatability. An engineer swings by with a question about sampling plans; you coach them through the approach. Before you wrap, you support an estimate for a new RFQ, validate process risks, and ensure every step aligns with customer, solicitation, and contractual requirements. What you'll own Develop robust manufacturing methods and sophisticated CNC programs for precision-machined parts. Select tooling strategies and design/support fixturing to secure quality and throughput. Perform crucial machine setups; qualify and transfer proven processes to machinists. Champion process improvements and lean initiatives to reduce waste and variation. Mentor engineers, machinists, and peers; serve as the go-to for programming and machining best practices.
