We are looking for people with the passion and drive to join us as part of the Remanufacturing Process Technology (RPT) Group.



The Remanufacturing Process Technology Group also consists of research teams in Laser Directed Energy Deposition, Electron Beam and Arc Joining, Adaptive machining and Intelligent Process Remanufacturing for which individuals may also explore.



JOB DESCRIPTION



We are seeking a hands-on CNC Engineer with expertise in CNC machining and CAM programming. The successful candidate will play a key role in developing toolpaths, setting up machines, and optimizing processes on the shop floor. While not essential, additional skills in CAD (preferably NX) and programming in Python, VB, or C# are considered valuable assets to support workflow improvements and automation.

Responsibilities:

Create, optimize, and validate CNC programs for milling, turning, and multi-axis machining using CAM software (preferably NX CAM). Perform hands-on setup and prove-out of CNC machines, including tooling, fixturing, offsets, and verification. Troubleshoot machining processes, adjusting toolpaths and programs to achieve precision, efficiency, and high-quality output. Collaborate with engineering and research teams to ensure manufacturability of CAD models. Analyse machining performance, recommending improvements in cycle times, tooling strategies, and process reliability. Maintain accurate documentation of CNC programs, setup instructions, and process changes. Use CAD software (preferably NX) to review models, create geometry for machining, or make design adjustments. Develop automation scripts, macros, or tools in Python, VB, or C# to streamline CAM workflows. Customize post-processors to ensure compatibility with CNC controls. Conduct research on adaptive machining techniques, including automated decision-making systems, dynamic process adjustments, toolpath optimization, scanning and data gathering technologies, and machine to machine communication. Prototype Development: Work closely with engineering teams to build prototypes and proof-of-concepts showcasing the effectiveness of advanced machining applications. Conduct experiments to validate the performance and robustness of developed solutions. Any other ad-hoc work for the team, Group, Organisation and ASTAR with possible secondary roles


JOB REQUIREMENTS



Degree, diploma, or trade qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field. Strong, hands-on experience with CNC machining (milling, turning, or 5-axis).
