Process Engineer

In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in conceptualizing, designing, and developing Cutting Edge solutions to meet our customers at their point of need. Your work will directly impact industries ranging from automotive to agriculture, shaping the way people live, work, and thrive in a rapidly evolving world. We are seeking a skilled Process Engineer to join our manufacturing engineering team. This role blends design support, process development, and CNC programming, with a focus on milling, turning, and Swiss-type machining. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between early-stage concept work and hands-on shop floor process refinement, and has strong working knowledge of PartMaker and Fusion 360 for lathe, Swiss, and milling programming.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design & Development Support Collaborate with engineering and design teams on new product concepts, providing manufacturability input early in the design cycle. Refine part designs and assemblies for producibility, cost reduction, and tolerance optimization, working in SolidWorks alongside design engineers to balance functional requirements against machining realities.
  • CNC Process Development Develop and document CNC processes for milling, turning, and Swiss-type machining operations, from raw stock through finished part. Create and optimize CNC programs using PartMaker (lathe/Swiss) and Fusion 360 (milling and general CAM), and select appropriate machining strategies, fixturing approaches, and operation sequencing for new and existing jobs.
  • Tooling Source and specify cutting tools, workholding, and fixturing for both new part introductions and ongoing production, evaluating tooling options for cost, cycle time, and tool life, and maintaining relationships with tooling vendors to stay current on new technology.

  • Continuous Improvement Troubleshoot and refine existing processes to improve cycle time, quality, and consistency. Support root cause investigations for process-related quality issues and implement corrective actions, and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and setup sheets.

Qualifications

Required (non-negotiable):

  • Hands-on machining experience operating mills and/or lathes (Swiss experience a strong plus)
  • Experience reviewing part/assembly designs for manufacturability, identifying and resolving producibility issues before they reach the floor
  • Working understanding of CNC programming and G-code — able to read, interpret, and edit code, not just operate through conversational/CAM-only workflows
  • Familiarity with cutting tools and tooling selection across various materials and operations
  • A degree is not required — candidates who meet the above through direct shop and programming experience are strongly preferred over degree-only candidates lacking hands-on time.

Preferred:

  • Proficiency with SolidWorks for part/assembly design and review
  • Programming experience with PartMaker and/or Fusion 360
  • Solid understanding of GD&T and blueprint reading
  • Experience with screw machine or high-volume precision turning environments
  • Prior experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) from concept through production

Skills & Attributes

This role calls for strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail, comfort working both independently and collaboratively across design and shop floor teams, good communication skills to translate between engineering concepts and shop floor execution, and the ability to manage multiple jobs/projects in various stages of development simultaneously.
