The Role

Mach Industries is seeking a Machining Engineer to own the industrialization, optimization, and scaling of precision machining processes. You will collaborate closely with design engineering, prototype build teams, machinists, and quality to ensure that our parts are manufacturable, cost-effective, and robust under high volumes. You’re as comfortable in the CAM software as you are on the shop floor. At Mach Industries, we are building decentralized, autonomous systems to maintain an allied American edge in modern warfare. As a Machining Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in turning design concepts into hardware at scale. Working with a world-class engineering team, you will bridge the gap between design and manufacturing, delivering solutions that ensure manufacturability, cost-efficiency, and mission-critical reliability. # Key Responsibilities

• Develop, qualify, and optimize machining processes (turning, milling, multi-axis, etc.) for critical components. - Translate design geometry and tolerances into robust, repeatable manufacturing methods. - Work with design engineers early to influence design for manufacturability (DFM) tradeoffs and avoid costly designs. - Design, validate, and improve CNC program files, fixturing, tool selection, setups, and process flows. - Generate and maintain process documentation: operation plans, work instructions, inspection checklists, CNC program files. - Implement process control strategies (SPC, capability studies, control charts) to monitor stability. - Troubleshoot process issues: dimensional drift, tool wear, chatter, thermal effects, fixture instability, etc. - Partner with prototype/build teams to transition successful processes into production. - Drive continuous improvement: cycle time reduction, yield increase, cost-down initiatives. - Partner with machinists and operators to ensure compliance, quality, and standard work execution. - Support change control and process change implementation as part geometries or design evolve. #
