CNC Applications Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Develop manufacturing processes for complex aerospace and defense components, including machining strategy, tooling, workholding, probing, and inspection
• Take 0-1 New Product Introduction parts from print to production for new customers, new materials, and new part families
• Build the automation, process control, and software workflows that let production run without constant engineering attention
• Set machine, tooling, and process standards adopted across Hadrian factories
• Diagnose high-impact production failures across process, equipment, software, and operational causes, then change the standard so the failure stays fixed
• Advise as a subject matter expert on tooling, machine selection, workholding, and process engineering across the factory, and contribute that domain knowledge to the software that automates CAM programming
• Work with CAM, CNC Controls, Robotics, Software, Quality, and Operations to integrate manufacturing systems into production
• Support factory launches, machine bring-up, and production stabilization

Job requirements

• A track record of solving difficult manufacturing problems and building technical systems that hold up in production
• Depth in one or two of these areas, with the judgment to work across the rest: machining, manufacturing engineering, automation, robotics, metrology, simulation, tooling, or software for manufacturing
• Working knowledge of machining fundamentals, including tooling, workholding, GD&T, inspection, and process validation
• The ability to trace a problem across process, equipment, software, and operational causes
• Clear written and verbal communication with machinists, engineers, and factory leadership
