What You Will Do

Quest Global is seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented CNC Programmer to join our team. A successful candidate in this position will be responsible for developing manufacturing processes for new power generation turbine airfoil components. The position also provides on-going shop floor support of non-conventional machining and related processes.

The ideal candidate is a proactive Manufacturing Engineer who will own product manufacturing from development through project completion. A successful candidate in this position will be responsible for developing conventional machining processes for engine ran and new power generation turbine components. The position also assists in shop floor execution, perform data analysis to drive process improvement, and interact with Product Engineering departments to address non-conformances and opportunities to improve design manufacturability. Our Programmers are expected to work collaboratively with other Manufacturing Engineers, Fixture Engineers, CMM Programmers, and Set-up Operators on a daily basis in these efforts.

• Determine appropriate cutting tools, fixturing, and machines for optimized machining approaches to complex, multi-axis milling production of rotating blades and stationary vanes components.
• Complete the development and implementation of manufacturing CNC programs for complex machining processes for multi-axis milling machines.
• Support in the development of Manufacturing Quality Control Plans / Part Inspection Plans.
• Support shop machinists to successfully execute manufacturing processes and complex machining activities.
• Assist and provide direction for design and development of fixturing for machining processes.
• Design specialty cutting tools for precision form milling.
• Collaborate with management, product engineering, peer engineers, and operators to realize high quality, stable processes for complex, conventional machining production of rotating blades and stationary vanes components.
• Project leadership of development and qualification projects (scheduling, design of experiments, experimentation, reporting, documentation) with full responsibility for due dates, results and costs associated with your field of activities.
• Review in process product quality control information (manual and CMM dimension checks) and work with production personnel to adjust production run machining processes.
• Work with production personnel to implement, troubleshoot, and improve machining and associated processes.
• Collaborate with Quality Engineer to conduct Root Cause Corrective Analyses.
• Communicate with customers to understand requirements and communicate process deviations (NCRs).
• Lead continuous process improvements (analysis, solution finding, implementation) around machining processes and methods. Perform and assess manufacturing data to determine opportunities for improvement and lead teams to successfully implement changes.
• Support quoting efforts by providing cost estimates.
• Review tooling inventory and adjust stocking levels based on production run usage.
• Lead and support CAPEX projects and ROI calculations.

What You Will Bring

• 2-4 year degree in related Engineering discipline.
• 5+ years relevant and proven 4- or 5-axis milling manufacturing experience.
• Skilled in interpretation of product and manufacturing drawings and specifications.
• Skilled in the use of Siemens NX & Teamcenter CAD/CAM systems and product data management systems.
• Knowledgeable in 4- and 5-axis milling machining processes.
• Knowledgeable in programming, online and offline, of conventional milling machines.
• Expert Knowledge in parametric model definition tools of NX and assembly modeling with interpart linking.
• Knowledge in designing component fixtures related to milling machining processes.
• Skilled in interpretation of product and manufacturing drawings and GD&T specifications.
• Working knowledge of MS office (Project, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook).
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.
