This role owns its work — from tooling selection and fixture design through prove-out, operator training, and continuous improvement — and is expected to deliver production-ready results with a high degree of accuracy and accountability. ## Responsibilities - Develop manufacturing processes including tooling and raw material selection, fixture design, and CNC programming in Fusion 360 and/or Hypermill across 2, 3, 4, and 5+ axis turning and milling machines. - Write CNC programs including advanced techniques such as macro programming, Q variable programming, and in-process probing. - Conduct post-program prove-out for error checking and run time reduction. - Identify root causes of dimensional errors, rework, and inefficiency; lead and implement corrective actions. - Design quality, safety, and dimensional integrity controls into new technical work. - Produce and maintain setup documentation in ProShop ERP including tooling lists, work-holding instructions, program references, and run notes. - Manage multiple concurrent components and projects to meet quality and lead-time requirements. - Troubleshoot geometric errors in multi-axis machinery to resolve dimensional issues. - Train machine operators on developed processes — covering machine operation, tooling use, and the reasoning behind each step. - Mentor CNC programmers and operators; share best practices and support team development. - Support process standardization and departmental improvement efforts. - Support other projects and assignments as needed. ## Experience & Skills You should be able to come in and: - Read and interpret technical drawings and GD&T callouts and translate them directly into a machining strategy. - Build a CNC program from scratch in Fusion 360, Hypermill, or a comparable CAM platform — and know why you made the toolpath choices you did. - Select tooling, set speeds and feeds, and design a workholding approach appropriate for the part geometry and material. - Prove out your own programs, catch your own errors, and reduce run time without sacrificing quality. - Troubleshoot a dimensional miss — trace it back to root cause and fix it, not just compensate for it. - Use calipers, micrometers, indicators, and other metrology tools accurately and routinely. - Operate on Haas and/or Heidenhain controllers with confidence; familiarity with controller-level troubleshooting is a plus. - Document a setup clearly enough that an operator can run it without you in the room. - Manage several active jobs at once without losing track of quality or delivery commitments. Physical Requirements - On-site, machine shop environment. Overtime and occasional non-standard hours may be required. - Regular standing, walking, bending, stooping, and kneeling throughout the facility. - Occasional lifting up to 50 lbs; team lifts required for heavier loads. - PPE required on the shop floor at all times (safety glasses, hearing protection, steel-toed footwear). - Manual dexterity and visual acuity required to read technical drawings, GD&T callouts, and operate precision measurement tools. ## About Rennscot MFG Rennscot MFG, founded in 2017, started as a motorsports-focused shop in the aftermarket automotive industry.
