Manufacturing Engineer

Insight Global; Walpole (MA); On-site; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Insight Global seeks a Manufacturing Engineer to develop and own CNC programs for naval propulsion components in a digital ecosystem. You will build fully associative NC programs in NX CAM / Teamcenter, connecting model to machine and defining shop floor standards.

This role emphasizes building processes, mentoring senior technicians, and collaborating with external partners to mature the workflow from design to production.

Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or naval propulsion manufacturing with mature PLM-integrated programming workflows.
• Experience with structured master model methodologies and CAD/CAM data architecture approaches.
• NX Simulation CSE proficiency for in-process stock verification.
• Lights-out machining post processor development and safety logic.
• Third Wave Systems or similar physics-based machining simulation.
• Track testing and modal analysis for machine tool dynamics.
• CMM programming (Zeiss Calypso, PolyWorks, or similar).
• 6-Axis Fanuc Arm Experience with Fanuc Roboguide Software.
• NX Post Configurator exposure or advanced post processor customization.
• PLM or Teamcenter configuration experience — MRL buildout, AWC workflow development, classification.
• Scripting or automation experience
• Demonstrated ownership of CNC programming systems or digital manufacturing infrastructure

Responsibilities

• Own the development of fully associative CNC programs inside an integrated Siemens NX CAM / Teamcenter PLM environment.
• Create the digital thread from model to machine and shape shop floor workflows.

Job description

Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a manufacturing engineer that will support single-source supplier of complex propulsion systems for the U.S. Navy, manufacturing precision components across multiple ship classes for surface combatants and cutters. The work is big – literally. You’ll be programming and proving out multi-axis toolpaths on hydrodynamic propulsion surfaces from blades castings ranging from 4 to 12 feet in height and 1 to 10 tons. These are not commodity parts.

We are building a fully digital manufacturing ecosystem from the ground up — and this role is central to that effort. You will own the development of fully associative CNC programs inside an integrated Siemens NX CAM / Teamcenter PLM environment, creating the digital thread from model to machine. You’ll work with a Teamcenter instance that is actively being built out, collaborate with CGTech and external Siemens NX engineering partners, and shape the workflows and standards that the shop floor runs on. This is a building role, not a maintenance role.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to [e-mail] learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.

Skills and Requirements

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or naval propulsion manufacturing with mature PLM-integrated programming workflows.
• Experience working within structured master model methodologies utilizing stage models, manufacturing method assemblies, or similar disciplined CAD/CAM data architecture approaches.
• NX Simulation CSE proficiency for in-process stock verification.
• Lights-out machining post processor development and safety logic.
• Third Wave Systems or similar physics-based machining simulation.
• Tap testing and modal analysis for machine tool dynamic characterization.
• Ball Bar / Machine Kinematic Testing Experience
• ISO 9001 familiarity.
• CMM programming (Zeiss Calypso, PolyWorks, or similar).
• Laser Scanning / Tracking Experience
• 6-Axis Fanuc Arm Experience with Fanuc Roboguide Software
• Demonstrated ownership of CNC programming systems or digital manufacturing infrastructure, not just use of them.
• NX Post Configurator exposure or advanced post processor customization.
• PLM or Teamcenter configuration experience — MRL buildout, AWC workflow development, classification, importing validated native tools and design/manufacturing definition.
• Scripting or automation experience
• Track record of mentoring or leading technical staff.
