Make an Impact

As a Manufacturing Engineer IV, you will serve as a key technical expert responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining cutting-tool data management standards that support CNC programming and manufacturing operations. You'll play a critical role in establishing a robust Tool Data Management (TDM) environment as the single source of truth for approved cutting-tool information, helping improve consistency, efficiency, and manufacturing excellence across the organization.

This role offers a unique combination of engineering, machining, tooling, and data management responsibilities while partnering closely with CNC programmers, machinists, manufacturing engineers, tooling suppliers, and technical leaders.

What You'll Do

• Own and maintain cutting-tool content within the Tool Data Management (TDM) system, ensuring accuracy, consistency, completeness, and usability.

• Establish and support TDM as the approved source of truth for cutting-tool information across manufacturing operations.

• Review existing tooling definitions and transition approved cutting tools into standardized TDM records.

• Create, edit, and maintain cutting-tool and toolholder geometry, including complete tool assemblies and associated technical attributes.

• Define and manage tool classifications, naming conventions, and data standards while identifying opportunities for process improvements.

• Maintain approved feeds, speeds, cutting parameters, and related machining data based on qualification testing and validated manufacturing results.

• Lead the implementation process for new cutting tools, from initial request through validation, TDM integration, and deployment to programming teams.

• Communicate tooling updates and implementation status to CNC programmers and manufacturing stakeholders.

• Collaborate closely with machinists, programmers, and manufacturing engineers to understand tooling challenges and support operational success.

• Ensure the integrity and accuracy of tooling databases while promoting standardization and best practices.

• Work with suppliers and technical experts to evaluate tooling solutions and support manufacturing improvements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent combination of technical education and manufacturing experience.

• Approximately 5-8 years of relevant manufacturing experience, with strong consideration given to candidates with demonstrated practical expertise.

• Strong knowledge of cutting tools used in milling and turning applications.

• Understanding of complete cutting-tool assemblies, including holders, adapters, extensions, inserts, interfaces, and assembly compatibility.

• Experience creating and modifying 3D cutting-tool and toolholder geometry.

• Working knowledge of machining fundamentals, feeds and speeds, cutting-tool applications, and CNC manufacturing processes.

• Strong attention to detail with a commitment to maintaining accurate and reliable technical data.

• Ability to work independently in an evolving environment where processes and standards continue to mature.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to engage effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams.

• Practical, shop-floor-focused mindset with a passion for improving manufacturing performance and efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Tool Data Management (TDM) systems.

• Experience with Siemens NX CAM.

• Experience with comparable tooling and tool-management platforms.

• Familiarity with NX CAM 2412.

• Background in machining, tooling, CNC programming, manufacturing engineering, or related technical disciplines.

• Demonstrated experience supporting tooling standardization and manufacturing process optimization.
