The Role Mach Industries is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer, CNC to own the manufacturing strategy and producibility of complex CNC-machined hardware from development through production. This role sits at the intersection of design engineering, CAM programming, machining, quality, and production . You will be responsible for determining how parts should be manufactured, identifying the major technical risks in the machining process, and driving the larger process changes required to improve producibility, quality, cost, and scalability. This is not primarily a CAM programming or machine-operating role. Dedicated CAM programmers will develop CNC programs, and machinists will execute setups and run parts. The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for providing the technical direction that connects those functions—defining the manufacturing approach, challenging existing methods, resolving cross-functional problems, and ensuring the complete process is capable of meeting program requirements. You will work at both the part level and manufacturing-system level , diving deeply into CNC technology, tooling, workholding, probing, machine capability, automation, process monitoring, and inspection feedback to continuously improve how Mach manufactures hardware.
