This position plays a critical role in supporting prototype development, low-rate production, and continuous process improvement while working closely with cross-functional Engineering and Manufacturing teams. What You'll Do Perform design engineering tasks in support of prototype and production hardware, including part design, design iteration, and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) improvements
Program, set up, and operate CNC mills and/or lathes, including fixture design and setup, tooling selection, prove-outs, and process verification
Develop machining and fabrication strategies from mechanical drawings and CAD models to ensure dimensional accuracy and repeatability
Operate large-format metal cutting laser systems and associated sheet metal fabrication equipment
Set up and operate CNC press brakes and box/pan brakes for formed sheet metal components
Perform part inspection using calipers, micrometers, and other precision measuring tools to verify conformance to specifications
Support additive manufacturing (3D printing) activities, including setup, operation, and basic post-processing
Create, modify, and maintain CAD models and drawings in SolidWorks or similar CAD software
Collaborate closely with Engineering to support prototype and production builds, design reviews, and manufacturing readiness
Maintain equipment, tooling, and work areas in a safe, organized, and operational condition
Document designs, manufacturing processes, setups, and lessons learned to support repeatability and knowledge transfer
What You'll Bring Bachelor's degree in a mechanical or manufacturing discipline, or 7-10 years' experience in lieu of degree.
Technical training, apprenticeship, or equivalent hands-on experience strongly preferred
Demonstrated experience programming and operating a CNC mill and/or lathe in a manufacturing environment
Experience operating laser cutting and sheet metal fabrication equipment
Experience with 3D printing technologies preferred
Familiarity with CAM software and CNC control interfaces
Understanding of sheet metal forming principles and brake operation
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and CAD models
Working knowledge of SolidWorks or similar CAD software
Strong attention to detail and commitment to workmanship and quality
Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment
Willingness to collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing teams
