Windsor, CT Job Details $110,000 - $150,000 a year 11 hours ago Qualifications Mechanical blueprint interpretation Machine setup Defect resolution root cause analysis Engineering process optimization Machining tool setup Mechanical drawings Dimensional measurements Precision measurement in machining CNC G-code Programming Milling machines Cross-functional collaboration Implementing lean manufacturing processes Cross-functional communication Failure analysis Full Job Description Own the journey from concept to capable production Imagine a complex aerospace component with tight GD&T callouts hitting your desk. You select the right multi-axis platform, design fixturing, simulate toolpaths in VERICUT, and stand up a repeatable process that ships right the first time—and faster the next. That's the challenge you'll lead every day. Your mission Architect CNC manufacturing processes for NPI—tooling, fixtures, and multi-axis programming. Program and optimize with SolidWorks, Esprit, and Siemens NX; verify thoroughly in VERICUT.

Drive throughput:

analyze workflows, compress cycle times, and eradicate waste. Influence design-for-manufacturability with engineering partners early and often. Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; implement lasting corrective actions. Specify and select CNC equipment, tooling, and emerging technologies to enable scalable ramps. Create and sustain accurate process documentation—work instructions, setup sheets, SOPs. Develop talent on the floor through training in probing, macro programming, and quality standards. Sustain a Lean culture with 5S, Six Sigma, and Kaizen improvements. Maintain compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements. What you bring 5+ years of CNC machining and process engineering experience. Hands-on mastery of CNC programming, setup, and operation, including probing and macros. Deep capability in 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling and multi-axis mill-turn lathes. Fluency in engineering drawings/specifications and GD&T (Y14.5). Proficiency with metrology and measurement systems. Lean Manufacturing background with proven process optimization results. Analytical mindset with strong RCA and cross-functional communication skills. Preferred Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field. ERP/MRP familiarity; Epicor experience preferred. Focus areas
