Job description

The Engineering Manager leads engineering resources and technical activities within a precision machining environment , supporting both existing production and new product introduction. This role provides technical leadership across CNC machining, manufacturing engineering, process development, tooling/fixturing, and production support . The Engineering Manager works closely with operations, quality, programming, and customers to ensure complex machined components can be produced safely, efficiently, and consistently to specification. Responsibilities: • Directs department activities to design new products, modify existing designs, improve production techniques, and develop test procedures. • Resolves problems using solutions that involve new techniques, technologies, or concepts. • Analyzes technology trends, human resource needs, and market demand to plan projects. • Confers with management, production, and marketing staff to determine engineering feasibility, cost effectiveness, and customer demand for new and existing products. • Forecasts operating costs of department and directs preparation of budget requests. • Advanced skills with Mastercam, Gibbs Cam, Espree or other CAM software, and CNC machine programming, setup, and operations. • Ability to machine parts to specification of .1mm to .0005mm tolerances working from CAD files, mechanical drawings, and sketches • Ability to read, understand, and create technical mechanical drawings, sectional views, part notes, dimensions, and tolerances • Expertise calculating/estimating machine cycle times, determining cost effective operation sequences, machinability, and feasibility • 7+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, machining, or a related precision manufacturing environment. • 3+ years of engineering leadership or people-management experience. • Strong understanding of CNC machining, manufacturing processes, tooling, fixturing, and process development. • Experience supporting high-mix, low-volume and/or tight-tolerance machined components. • Proven ability to lead new product introduction (NPI), first article, prototype, and production-launch activities. • Strong knowledge of engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerances, and manufacturability. • Experience troubleshooting machining and production issues using root-cause analysis and structured problem-solving methods. • Ability to work cross-functionally with CNC programmers, machinists, quality, operations, customers, and suppliers. • Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and develop technical teams while managing multiple priorities. • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred; equivalent hands-on manufacturing experience may be considered. • Health, dental, vision • 401k • PTO
