Manufacturing Engineer IV – CNC Programming

Location: Greenville, South Carolina
Work Arrangement: On-Site
Shift: 2nd Shift
Contract Duration: 12 Months
Compensation: $60/hour
Start Date: December 13, 2026

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer IV specializing in CNC programming, machining process development, and shop-floor support. This position will focus on developing and maintaining advanced CNC programs for large-format machining equipment, including Vertical Turning Lathes (VTL), Vertical Boring Mills (VBM), and 4- and 5-axis milling machines.

The successful candidate will bring strong offline CAM programming capabilities, hands‑on machining experience, and the ability to support complex machining operations while improving manufacturing processes, quality, and productivity.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, generate, and maintain CNC programs using graphical CAM software, preferably Siemens NX CAM.

• Program and support large-format CNC equipment, including:

  • Large Vertical Turning Lathes (VTL) up to 2.5m.

  • Large Vertical Boring Mills (VBM) up to 2.5m.

  • Large head‑to‑head gantry 5‑axis machines.

  • Large vertical multi‑purpose turn/grind machines.

• Develop programs for multi‑axis milling, turning, grinding, and EDM applications.

• Verify and simulate CNC programs using Vericut before releasing them to the shop floor.

• Incorporate on‑machine probing using Renishaw cycles for part and process validation.

• Provide daily CNC programming, troubleshooting, and technical support to machining operators.

• Support machine startups, rebuilds, and process improvements while providing operator training.

• Develop and implement tooling, fixturing, and machining process requirements.

• Create and maintain workstation instructions and machining methods.

• Lead process improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, cost, and delivery.

• Support manufacturing engineering teams with CNC‑related technical expertise.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 4 years of experience with graphical‑based CAM systems and offline CNC programming.

• Demonstrated experience programming 4- and 5-axis continuous milling, large VTLs, VBM equipment, or multi-axis grinding systems.

• Siemens NX CAM experience strongly preferred.

• Minimum 2 years of experience with advanced machine controls, including subroutines, macro variables, Boolean logic, and closed‑loop machining.

• Strong hands‑on machining background, including machine setup and first‑piece program prove‑out.

Additional Technical Requirements

• Experience machining high‑temperature alloys such as Inconel, Rene, Hastelloy, or Waspaloy, or large heavy structural components.

• Demonstrated ability to maintain tight machining tolerances on large‑format equipment.

• Understanding of machining challenges involving part deflection, work hardening, and thermal stability.

• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and manufacturing requirements.

• Strong mathematical skills, particularly geometry and trigonometry.

• Excellent troubleshooting, organization, and problem‑solving abilities.

• Ability to manage multiple projects while working independently and within a collaborative manufacturing environment.

Work Environment

This is a fully on‑site, second‑shift position supporting advanced manufacturing and machining operations. The successful candidate must be comfortable working directly with machining operators, manufacturing engineers, and shop‑floor personnel in a fast‑paced industrial environment.
