POSITION SUMMARY:
We need an expert in Siemens NX CAM with 5+ years of experience — ideally someone who has worked as an NX applications engineer at a reseller, machine tool builder, or large aerospace shop — who can lead our CAD-to-CAM team and build the programming standard from scratch for our automated 5-axis CNC cells. You should be comfortable programming complex aerospace and defense parts yourself (titanium, Inconel, aluminum) and have a track record of training programmers, defining processes, and building probing stacks for lights-out production. Bonus points if you've managed a machine shop or programming team and have hands-on experience with post processors in NX Post Builder or Post Configurator.
Hard skills:
Expertise in Siemens NX, CAM, CNC manufacturing, CNC programming, and CNC milling
Experience in in-process probing, macro programming, offset programming, and in-cycle inspection (Heidenhain, Siemens, or Fanuc controls)
Experience proving out programs on 5-axis machining centers
US citizen or lawful permanent resident (ITAR compliant)
We are a small team with momentum and resources. You'll work directly with the Automation Engineer on tooling/workholding/pallet strategy and with software engineers who automate CAM workflows. It's a deeply integrated environment.
