Manufacturing Engineer

Technical Competencies Required Software Mastery: 3+ years of daily, hands-on experience using Prima Power NC Express and Master Bend CAM software. Required Equipment Mastery: Proven experience operating, setting up, and troubleshooting automated Prima Power fabrication lines, including punch-shear, punch-laser, and press brake equipment. CAD Proficiency: Competency in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, or equivalent 3D/2D CAD software. Fabrication Knowledge: Strong understanding of sheet metal properties, bend deductions, K-factors, automated tool selection, nesting strategies, and metal fabrication safety standards. Manufacturing process development, optimization, and continuous improvement experience. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation. Core Responsibilities CAD/CAM Programming & Nesting Translate 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings into highly optimized machine programs. Program punch, shear, and fabrication paths using Prima Power NC Express CAM software. Program 3D press brake sequences, bend allowances, and tooling setups using Master Bend simulation software. Perform virtual collision checks and simulation runs to ensure first-time-right program deployment while preventing machine crashes and tooling damage. Maintain a clean and organized digital library of programs, tooling configurations, and standardized nesting templates. Hands-On Shop Floor & Equipment Execution Set up, test-run, and prove out new programs directly on CNC equipment, including punch-shear combinations and electric press brakes. Work directly with machine operators to resolve real-time production issues such as sheet buckling, micro-joint failures, and tooling wear. Troubleshoot machine setups, coordinate with maintenance teams on technical issues, and minimize equipment changeover times. Support machine safety initiatives and ensure compliance with applicable safety requirements and plant standards. Material Yield & OEE Optimization Apply advanced nesting techniques, including dynamic nesting, common-line cutting, and skeleton destruction, to maximize material utilization with a target yield of 85% or greater. Strategically group and kit production parts within nesting runs to balance machine cycle times and support downstream assembly requirements. Define equipment capabilities and manufacturing constraints for the design engineering team to support Design for Manufacturability (DFM). Track, analyze, and report equipment OEE performance, identify programming or setup bottlenecks, and lead continuous improvement initiatives. Collaborate closely with Design Engineering to reduce scrap, improve manufacturability, and standardize material usage. Team Coaching & Manufacturing Engineering Support Train, coach, and mentor other Manufacturing Engineers on NC Express and Master Bend software to build departmental capability and redundancy. Support broader Manufacturing Engineering activities, including production line balancing, workflow optimization, process improvements, and layout development. Mentor engineering interns on 2D drawing preparation, nesting logic, and manufacturing fundamentals. Provide hands-on training to cross-functional team members to ensure operational coverage on critical bottleneck equipment. Develop and maintain visual Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and quick-reference guides for sheet metal programming and press brake setup.

Translate CAD models into optimized machine programs for punch, shear, and press brake equipment while performing virtual simulations to prevent crashes. Manage shop floor execution by troubleshooting production issues, optimizing material yield, and mentoring other engineers on CAM software.

Requires over 3 years of hands-on experience with Prima Power NC Express and Master Bend CAM software along with proficiency in 3D/2D CAD tools. Must possess deep knowledge of sheet metal properties, fabrication safety standards, and experience in manufacturing process optimization.
