US Conec Ltd
Join to apply for the
Wire EDM Engineer
role at
US Conec Overview US Conec is seeking a highly skilled Machining Engineer to join our precision tooling team. In this role, youll lead ultra-precision wire EDM operations to produce injection mold components with tolerances down to the sub-micron and nanometer level. Youll work with hard metals like carbide and tool steels, collaborating with design and metrology teams to ensure dimensional accuracy, manufacturability, and tooling reliability across the production lifecycle. Responsibilities Program, set up, and operate wire EDM machines to achieve 1 m tolerances Select electrodes, wire types, and flushing strategies to optimize surface finish and cycle time Create and refine CAM programs using ESPRIT and 3D CAD tools (AutoDesk Inventor) Develop thermal stability processes including fixture design and temperature compensation Collaborate with mold and die designers to adjust prints for true position and shrinkage Build and qualify electrodes and fixtures for precision machining Perform final inspections using CMM, laser micrometers, air gauges, and profilometers Implement SPC/CPK, corrective actions, and standard work procedures Lead DOE and Kaizen initiatives to improve tolerance capability and reduce burn time Support toolroom operations for new builds, ECNs, and urgent repairs
Requirements
Bachelors degree in mechanical or manufacturing engineering 37+ years of experience in precision wire EDM for mold/die or high-accuracy parts Proven ability to hold 1 m features; experience with sub-micron/nanometer-class positioning Expertise in machining hard metals (e.g., carbide, H13, M2, PM steels) Proficiency in CAM programming, GD&T, and tolerance stack-up analysis Hands-on experience with metrology tools including CMM and laser micrometry Ability to read mold/tooling drawings and understand injection molding components Knowledge of fixture design, thermal management, and precision workholding Preferred: Moldflow analysis, sinker EDM, and basic CNC milling/grinding
What We Offer
Competitive compensation based on experience and precision skill level Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans Paid time off and holidays; 401(k) retirement savings plan with employer match A collaborative, innovation-driven culture Opportunities for cross-training and advancement Inclusive workplace with reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals
