Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced Process Engineer with a strong background in precision manufacturing and MCAD/CAM environments. This role will be responsible for defining manufacturing processes, optimizing cycle times, selecting appropriate tooling, and supporting accurate and fast quotation. The position is critical to improving productivity and building advanced machining capabilities across complex components.
Key Responsibilities
Process Planning and Optimization
The candidate will analyze engineering drawings and 3D CAD models to define optimal manufacturing processes and operation sequences. The role involves reducing cycle time, minimizing setups, and improving efficiency.
•Analyze 2D drawings and 3D CAD models
•Define processes such as turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and finishing
•Develop process routes with clear sequencing and setup planning
•Reduce cycle time and improve machining efficiency
Tooling and Machining Strategy
The candidate will select appropriate tools and machining strategies and work closely with tooling partners such as Sandvik Coromants, Kennametal, Seco Tools, and Walter Tools to improve productivity.
•Select cutting tools, inserts, drill bits, and holders
•Optimize cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth of cut)
•Recommend advanced tooling and machining strategies
•Drive reduction in machining time
Cycle Time Estimation and Quotation Support
This role will directly support the costing team by providing accurate cycle time estimates and process inputs for quotations.
•Estimate machining time for RFQs
•Support costing team with reliable inputs
•Validate cycle times through trials and production feedback
•Build and maintain a cycle time database
Fixture and Setup Optimization
The candidate will improve repeatability and reduce setup time through effective fixture planning.
•Design or guide fixture and jig development
•Enable single-setup or reduced-setup machining
•Improve machine utilization
Continuous Improvement
The role requires a strong focus on identifying inefficiencies and driving improvements across manufacturing processes.
•Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements
•Reduce machining time and cost
•Train internal teams on machining and tooling best practices
Cross Functional Collaboration
The candidate will work closely with design, production, and quality teams to ensure manufacturability and smooth execution.
•Support new product development and prototyping
•Provide manufacturability and feasibility inputs
•Collaborate across teams for efficient execution
Required Skills and Competencies
•Strong experience in CNC machining (VMC, HMC, turning, multi-axis machining)
•Hands-on experience with MCAD tools such as SolidWorks, Siemens NX, or CATIA
•Experience with CAM tools such as Mastercam, NX CAM, or Powermill
•Strong knowledge of machining processes and materials (aluminum, steel, alloys)
•Deep understanding of cutting tools and machining strategies
•Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings with GD&T
•Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Preferred Background
•Experience in aerospace, automotive, medical, or precision manufacturing industries
•Proven track record in cycle time reduction and process optimization
