NE-XT Technologies
Overview
CNC Manufacturing Engineer role at NE-XT Technologies. Responsibilities focus on developing, optimizing, and maintaining CNC manufacturing processes to drive efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness. Collaborate with design engineers, machinists, and quality assurance teams to support production goals and continuous improvement initiatives. Base pay range
$110,000.00/yr - $150,000.00/yr Responsibilities
Develop and implement efficient CNC machining processes, including tooling, fixtures, and programming for multi-axis CNC machines. Create and optimize CNC programs using CAD/CAM software, ensuring compliance with product specifications and quality standards. Analyze manufacturing workflows and identify opportunities to improve productivity, reduce cycle times, and minimize waste. Collaborate with design engineers to ensure manufacturability of new products, offering DFM (Design for Manufacturability) input during the design phase. Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for manufacturing issues, implementing corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Evaluate and select CNC equipment, tooling, and technologies to support production needs. Establish and maintain process documentation, including work instructions, setup sheets, and standard operating procedures. Train and mentor machine operators and other staff on CNC processes, best practices, and quality standards. Support Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives, including 5S, Six Sigma, and Kaizen projects. Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements in all manufacturing processes. Required Qualifications
Minimum of 5 years of experience in CNC machining and process engineering. Extensive hands-on experience with CNC machine programming, setup and operation, including probe and macro programming. Proficiency in CAD/CAM software (e.g., SolidWorks CAD, Esprit CAM, NX CAM, or equivalent) including simulation software (Vericut). In-depth knowledge of multi-axis CNC machining (e.g., 3, 4, and 5-axis mills, and multi-axis mill-turn lathes). Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and blueprint reading. Extensive knowledge and use of common metrology and measurement systems. Experience with Lean Manufacturing principles and process optimization. Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to perform root cause analysis. Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments. Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. Experience with PC-DMIS CMM programming and/or automation engineering. Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (preferably Epicor) for production planning. Certifications such as Six Sigma Green Belt, AS9100, or ISO 9001 experience. You should be proficient in
CNC Programming Process Engineering CAD/CAM Software Machines & Technologies you\'ll use
CAD Software (SolidWorks, Siemens NX) CAM Software (Esprit, Surfcam, Siemens NX) CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC) (Okuma, Dmg Mori Seiki) CNC Lathe (5+ axis) (Okuma, Index) Location
