CNC Lead - 2Nd Shift

Where would you like to shape the success of your future career: At a worldwide leading manufacturer of process measuring and control technology? In a family- owned company that values its more than 3,700 employees in more than 30 countries and sees them all as individuals? In a team that breaks new ground with courage and passion?

Did you answer "Yes" three times? Then it is time for us to make your acquaintance.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

CNC Machining Process Ownership:

• Own the value stream processes for CNC machining of systems and standard components, from raw stock to finished part release.
• Drive spindle time optimization across turning, milling, and multi-axis machining cells
• Own and continuously improve machine scheduling practices using SAP CM25 ,ensure accurate, realistic scheduling
• Champion use of the Siemens TMGR Tool Manager for tool presetting, tool life management, and structured tool building
• Define and enforce setup standards: part setup, work-holding, first-article verification, and handover documentation between shifts and operators.
• Partner with programmers on CAM strategy improvements
• Lead root cause analysis on scrap, rework, and non-conformances originating in machining
• Develop and execute a structured improvement roadmap between audit cycles
• Own and maintain the manufacturing qualification matrix per SYNCHRO standards; identify training gaps and drive the qualification plan for machinists and operators.
• Ensure annual instruction plans, familiarization plans, and SFM documentation (SFM boards, team meeting cadence, Go&See schedules) are current and compliant.
• Author and maintain Factory Standards (FSTs), work instructions, BOPs, control plans, and process flow documentation for all manufacturing processes.
• Ensure SAP routing data (CM25 / Fiori) accurately reflects current process times, sequences, and resource assignments
• Build and maintain digital machine handbooks in SI08 for production-critical CNC equipment; ensure maintenance tasks, log entries, and inspection records are current.
• Establish structured filing practices per SYNCHRO Office standard; lead the cleanup and standardization of legacy documentation.
• Drive poka-yoke implementation across machining setups and inspection
• Support process development in welding operations, with a particular growth path toward ASME BPE orbital GTAW welding as the program scales.
• Contribute to process improvements in secondary operations (deburring, washing, inspection)
• Engage with intralogistics improvements (material flow, milk running, kitting) as they interface with machining cell efficiency.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline required.
• Lean Six Sigma Black Belt preferred
• 5 to 8 years of progressively responsible experience in a precision CNC machining environment - turning, milling, multi-axis machining of close-tolerance components.
• Demonstrated ownership of machining process improvement: spindle utilization, setup reduction, tooling programs, and scheduling discipline.
• Direct experience with SAP production modules - CM25 / Fiori scheduling, routing management, and capacity planning.
• Hands-on experience with tool management systems; Siemens TMGR experience is a strong differentiator.
• Experience leading Kaizen events, VSM workshops, and 5S programs in a machining or fabrication environment
• CAD/CAM proficiency (Siemens NX, Mastercam, or equivalent); Vericut simulation experience preferred.
• Familiarity with GD&T, precision measurement, and CMM-based inspection processes as they apply to machined components.

In return, we offer you exciting and challenging responsibilities, diverse perspectives with a high degree of individual freedom and a corporate culture that encourages you to use it.
