Manufacturing Engineer II – Precision CNC Programming Specialist
Are you a skilled manufacturing engineer ready to take your CNC programming expertise to the next level? Join a dynamic heavy-manufacturing environment where precision, innovation, and collaboration drive success. As a Manufacturing Engineer II, you will develop, optimize, and verify complex CNC programs using advanced CAD/CAM platforms like Mastercam, Siemens NX, and Esprit 2000, supporting multi-axis milling, turning, and grinding operations. Your work will directly impact the production of large-scale, high-value components, ensuring machining accuracy, efficiency, and process reliability.
Bring your hands-on machining experience and deep understanding of macro-based routines—including Fanuc Macro B, Okuma, Renishaw probing, and Siemens macros—to improve manufacturing processes and operator proficiency. You’ll play a key role in creating standard work instructions, quality documentation, and tooling strategies that keep production running smoothly, all while collaborating across teams in a fast-paced, high-precision setting.
Required Skills
With over 90 years' combined experience, NES Fircroft (NES) is proud to be the world's leading engineering staffing provider spanning the Oil & Gas, Power & Renewables, Chemicals, Construction & Infrastructure, Life Sciences, Mining and Manufacturing sectors worldwide.
