RESPONSIBILITIES

CNC Machining Process Ownership:

Own the value stream processes for CNC machining of systems and standard components, from raw stock to finished part release. Drive spindle time optimization across turning, milling, and multi-axis machining cells Own and continuously improve machine scheduling practices using

SAP CM25

,ensure accurate, realistic scheduling Champion use of the Siemens TMGR Tool Manager for tool presetting, tool life management, and structured tool building Define and enforce setup standards: part setup, work-holding, first-article verification, and handover documentation between shifts and operators. Partner with programmers on CAM strategy improvements Lead root cause analysis on scrap, rework, and non-conformances originating in machining Develop and execute a structured improvement roadmap between audit cycles Own and maintain the manufacturing qualification matrix per SYNCHRO standards; identify training gaps and drive the qualification plan for machinists and operators. Ensure annual instruction plans, familiarization plans, and SFM documentation (SFM boards, team meeting cadence, Go&See schedules) are current and compliant. Author and maintain Factory Standards (FSTs), work instructions, BOPs, control plans, and process flow documentation for all manufacturing processes. Ensure SAP routing data (CM25 / Fiori) accurately reflects current process times, sequences, and resource assignments Build and maintain digital machine handbooks in SI08 for production-critical CNC equipment; ensure maintenance tasks, log entries, and inspection records are current. Establish structured filing practices per SYNCHRO Office standard; lead the cleanup and standardization of legacy documentation. Drive poka-yoke implementation across machining setups and inspection Support process development in welding operations, with a particular growth path toward ASME BPE orbital GTAW welding as the program scales. Contribute to process improvements in secondary operations (deburring, washing, inspection) Engage with intralogistics improvements (material flow, milk running, kitting) as they interface with machining cell efficiency.

REQUIREMENTS

Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline required. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt preferred 5 to 8 years of progressively responsible experience in a precision CNC machining environment — turning, milling, multi-axis machining of close-tolerance components. Demonstrated ownership of machining process improvement: spindle utilization, setup reduction, tooling programs, and scheduling discipline. Direct experience with SAP production modules — CM25 / Fiori scheduling, routing management, and capacity planning. Hands-on experience with tool management systems; Siemens TMGR experience is a strong differentiator. Experience leading Kaizen events, VSM workshops, and 5S programs in a machining or fabrication environment CAD/CAM proficiency (Siemens NX, Mastercam, or equivalent); Vericut simulation experience preferred. Familiarity with GD&T, precision measurement, and CMM-based inspection processes as they apply to machined components.
