Résumé du poste

Marion Tool & Die seeks an experienced aerospace precision machinist/engineer to develop and optimize end-to-end manufacturing processes across CNC milling, finishing, and assembly. You will specify tooling and process parameters to hit tight tolerances and surface finish requirements.

Candidate should have strong GD&T interpretation and data-driven mindset, with a track record in reducing cycle times and scrap while supporting CAM programming and floor-level troubleshooting.

Qualifications

• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T.
• Experience developing end-to-end manufacturing processes for aerospace parts.
• Strong problem solving and root cause analysis.
• Experience with data-driven process validation.
• Ability to lead continuous improvement initiatives.
• Experience with AS9100 or aerospace quality requirements.

Responsabilités

• Develop and optimize end-to-end manufacturing processes for precision aerospace components.
• Specify tooling, fixturing, and process parameters to hit tight tolerances.
• Reduce cycle times and scrap through robust experimentation.
• Create or support CNC programs in CAM and provide hands-on floor support.
• Lead root cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with Design Engineering and Quality teams.
• Assess new CNC equipment and capital projects.

Description du poste

Day-in-the-lifeYou start your morning on the shop floor, reviewing Cp/Cpk dashboards and first-article results. A cycle-time opportunity jumps out, so you refine feeds, speeds, and toolpaths, then validate on the machine. By midday, you’re shoulder-to-shoulder with machinists dialing in chatter mitigation and tool wear strategies. In the afternoon, you finalize new work instructions and control plans aligned to AS9100, close a corrective action from a recent audit, and finish the day evaluating a new 5-axis platform for an upcoming program.What you’ll ownDeveloping and optimizing end-to-end manufacturing processes for precision aerospace components across CNC machining, secondary finishing, and assembly.Specifying tooling, fixturing, and process parameters to consistently hit tight tolerances and surface finish requirements.Reducing cycle times, improving yields, and minimizing scrap through robust methods and data-driven experimentation.Creating or supporting CNC programs in CAM and providing hands-on technical support on the floor.Troubleshooting cutting issues including tool wear, chatter, thermal/drift effects, and dimensional variation.Maintaining rigorous process documentation (work instructions, control plans) aligned with aerospace standards such as AS9100 and specific customer requirements.Leading root cause analysis and implementing effective corrective actions for non-conformances.Driving Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma initiatives; analyzing and improving capability (Cp/Cpk) to stabilize processes.Partnering with Design Engineering to advance DFM and part producibility early in the lifecycle.Collaborating with Quality, Production, and Supply Chain and interfacing with customers and auditors as required.Assessing and introducing new CNC equipment, tooling, and technologies; supporting capital projects and process validation.What you bringBachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent experience).3–7 years working in aerospace or precision machining environments.Deep knowledge of CNC milling, turning, and multi-axis machining.Fluency in interpreting complex engineering drawings and GD&T.Machines & technologies you’ll useCNC Mill (3-4 axis VMC) (Fanuc, Bridgeport, Mazak, ProtoTRAK, Haas, Okuma, Doosan, Kitamura, Makino, Brother, Hurco, Dmg Mori Seiki, Hwachon)CNC Lathe (2-4 axis) (Mazak, Haas, Okuma, Doosan, Takisawa, Dmg Mori Seiki, Samsung, Murata, Fuji, Nakamura, Hyundai - Wia, Hwachon, Quick Tech)CNC Swiss LatheCAM Software (Mastercam, Mazatrol, Autodesk Fusion 360)CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)CNC Lathe (5+ axis)
