We’re standing up a new manufacturing facility and need a Manufacturing/Tooling Engineer to design the fixtures and workholding that make it run. You’ll own part-holding for our CNC mills and lathes from the ground up — designing, building, and qualifying the tooling that lets machinists hit tolerance and cycle time on every new part. This is a hands-on role with real design authority - your fixtures go straight onto the shop floor, and you’ll work directly with machinists and CNC programmers to solve problems as parts move from first article to production. If you want to design tooling that actually gets used the same week you build it, this is that role.

Design fixtures, jigs, and workholding for CNC milling and turning, from concept through detailed CAD models and drawings.

Partner with machinists and CNC programmers to validate fit, rigidity, and cycle-time impact of new tooling before it goes into production.

Specify, source, or coordinate fabrication of tooling and fixture components with outside vendors and machine shops.

Own qualification of new fixtures and setups, including first-article inspection and fit-up on the machine.

Maintain a tooling/fixture library and revision control so designs are documented, repeatable, and reusable across part families.

Drive continuous improvement on part-holding methods to reduce setup time, scrap, and cycle time as production ramps.

Support the design and layout of the new manufacturing facility from a tooling and workholding standpoint.
