Responsibilities

Develop tools and applications that automate manufacturing processes and standardize on performance-based benchmarks

Build the visual factory for CNC operations: real-time machine status, OEE, spindle/load monitoring, alarms, WIP dashboards using event-driven and streaming architectures

Design and implement machine connectivity and data pipelines from CNC equipment using MTConnect, OPC UA, and MQTT; contextualize with MES/ERP/QMS/PLM data

Enable automated CNC workflows: DNC/part program management, version control of G-code and CAM outputs, approvals/e-signatures, and digital sign-off integrated with PLM/MES

Create services to manage tool libraries, offsets, probing routines, setup sheets; integrate with toolcrib and inspection to close the loop on quality and throughput

Build web applications and APIs for machinists, NC programmers, and manufacturing engineers for scheduling, dispatching, redlining, and issue resolution

Identify feature gaps between ERP/MES/PLM/CAM and manufacturing needs; propose remediation and integrations

Partner with machinists, CAM/NC programmers, CAD designers, and quality engineers to translate cell-level needs into robust software solutions

Integrate CAD/CAM/PLM into the manufacturing stack to enable a closed-loop digital thread from design to NC to inspection and back

Build services to parse, validate, and transform CAD/CAM artifacts (for downstream use in MES/CNC/QA systems

Develop or maintain CNC post-processors (e.g., NX Post Builder, Mastercam posts) targeting FANUC, Siemens and Mazak controllers

Integrate and orchestrate toolpath simulation and collision checking; publish simulation results to visual factory dashboards

Enable traceability between CAD features, CAM operations, NC lines, inspection results, and nonconformances

Adopt DevOps practices; containerize edge and cloud services; automate deployments across environments; ensure observability and reliability

Uphold safety and security best practices for industrial networks and equipment
