Production Engineer

Summary

Join Digifabshop & CWK Associates as a Production Engineer I and become the critical link between digital models and advanced manufacturing machines. You will leverage your expertise in processing, fixturing, and machining to bring complex designs to life, converting 3D models into optimized CNC programs and designing custom jigs and fixtures. In your first six months, you will own a production package, design a complex fixture, master the feedback loop with CNC operators, and streamline a process. This role involves importing fabrication engineering models, designing 3D models and drawings for fixtures and jigs, extracting geometry for part-nesting, and actively communicating with the team. The position offers competitive pay, spot bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in CNC programming, machining, or production engineering, typically gained over 2-4 years
• Proficiency in Rhino 3D and Mastercam (3-axis and 5-axis)
• A solid understanding of CAM post-processing and machine constraints
• The ability to design effective fixtures and jigs for CNC operations

Responsibilities

• Import Fabrication Engineering models and produce 3-axis and/or 5-axis CNC programs
• Design and develop fabrication-ready 3D models and drawings for all required CNC fixtures and jigs
• Extract and manipulate geometry from engineering models for part-nesting and cut-lists
• Actively communicate with the Machines Manager, Engineering team, and CNC Operators to ensure the successful fabrication of all parts
• Review all specified materials to understand their intended use and limitations

Preferred Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• Experience with custom fabrication or complex geometries
• Familiarity with g-code and machine positional controls
• Experience using Grasshopper or similar parametric modeling software

Benefits

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• Paid time-off
• Family leave
• Wellness benefits
• 401k w/employer match
• Health savings and dependent care plans
