Job summary

Torrey Holistics is seeking a 5-Axis CNC Manufacturing Process Engineer to own development from CAD/CAM strategy through shop-floor execution, blending Mastercam programming with practical automation to boost throughput and repeatability.

In a high-mix, low-volume environment, you will design tooling, program and debug 5-axis machines, implement automation, and lead lean improvements while mentoring peers. Join a dynamic team focused on precision, safety, and environmental standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering or related field preferred.
• Extensive experience in high-mix, low-volume machining environments.
• Deep expertise in 5-axis CNC programming and operations.
• Hands-on success integrating automation into manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency with CAD/CAM and G-code; Mastercam mastery is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving, project management, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Review new part designs, select tooling/fixturing, and craft optimized 5-axis toolpaths in Mastercam; validate with simulation and G-code reviews.
• Partner with design, production, and automation teams to de-risk manufacturability, troubleshoot setups, and refine programs for cycle time and surface quality.
• Stand up or tune automation (pallets/robots/probing) to elevate flexibility and throughput; document workflows and NC strategies for repeat builds.
• Lead lean/Six Sigma improvements, uphold safety, quality, and environmental standards, and mentor peers on best practices.
