Multi-Axis CNC Process Development Engineer

Torrey Holistics; Windsor (CT); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Torrey Holistics is seeking a senior CNC Process Engineer to own end-to-end CNC processes for new product introductions and production. You’ll partner with quality, setup leads, machinists, and design engineering to optimize tooling, fixturing, programming, and documentation while driving on-time delivery.

A strong background in multi-axis machining, GD&T, and Lean/CI is required; you’ll mentor shop floor staff, ensure safety, and push continuous improvement across the manufacturing workflow.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in CNC machining/process engineering with hands-on programming and setup.
• Mastery of multi-axis work: 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills and multi-axis mill-turn lathes.
• Fluent in reading drawings/specs and applying GD&T (Y14.5).
• Comfortable with metrology tools and measurement systems.
• Lean/CI track record and strong root-cause problem solving.
• Team-first communicator who collaborates across departments.

Responsibilities

• Build CNC processes end to end: tooling, fixturing, and multi-axis programming.
• Program with CAD/CAM (SolidWorks, Esprit, Siemens NX) and validate in VERICUT.
• Analyze workflows to boost productivity, slash waste, and standardize best practices.
• Drive root-cause investigations and lock in corrective/preventive actions.
• Produce clear work instructions, setup sheets, and SOPs that operators can trust.
• Coach machinists on probing, macro programming, and quality-first execution.
• Lead Lean initiatives—5S, Six Sigma, Kaizen—across the shop floor.
• Maintain safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance in every process.

Job description

Ready to turn fresh designs into repeatable, high-yield CNC realities? If you thrive on building first-article success into steady-state production, this role is for you. You’ll be the go-to partner for quality engineers, QA, setup leads, machinists, and design engineering—owning CNC process creation, verification, optimization, and documentation for NPI.

Why this role matters

• Own process performance—reduce cycle time, elevate quality, and hit on-time delivery.
• Bring DFM upstream so parts are built for manufacturability from day one.
• Scale smart—choose the right machines, tooling, and technologies to ramp effectively.

What you’ll tackle

• Build CNC processes end to end: tooling, fixturing, and multi-axis programming.
• Program with CAD/CAM (SolidWorks, Esprit, Siemens NX) and validate in VERICUT.
• Analyze workflows to boost productivity, slash waste, and standardize best practices.
• Drive root-cause investigations and lock in corrective/preventive actions.
• Produce clear work instructions, setup sheets, and SOPs that operators can trust.
• Coach machinists on probing, macro programming, and quality-first execution.
• Lead Lean initiatives—5S, Six Sigma, Kaizen—across the shop floor.
• Maintain safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance in every process.

Do you bring the essentials?

• 5+ years in CNC machining/process engineering with hands‑on programming and setup.
• Mastery of multi‑axis work: 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills and multi‑axis mill‑turn lathes.
• Fluent in reading drawings/specs and applying GD&T (Y14.5).
• Comfortable with metrology tools and measurement systems.
• Lean/CI track record and strong root‑cause problem solving.
• Team‑first communicator who collaborates across departments.

Nice to have

• BS in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or related field.
• ERP/MRP exposure—Epicor preferred.

Domain strengths

• GD&T
• CNC Programming
• Process Engineering
• Aerospace Manufacturing
• Experience in a Manufacturing Environment

Tooling your success

• CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC): Haas, Okuma, Makino, DMG Mori Seiki, Fanuc
• CNC Lathe (2–4 axis): Haas, Okuma, DMG Mori Seiki
• CNC Swiss Lathe: Tsugami
• CAD: SolidWorks, Siemens NX (NX CAD)
• CAM: Esprit, Siemens NX
• CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC): Okuma, Fanuc, DMG Mori Seiki, Haas
• CNC Lathe (5+ axis): Okuma, Index, DMG Mori Seiki
