Application Engineer

Position: CNC Application Engineer

Duration: Full Time

Start Date: ASAP

Location: Can sit anywhere in the U.S. but need to be open to 80% travelling

Office is located in Hebron, KY 41048 - only need to be onsite if local

Salary: $100K-$120K (higher compensation for senior-level candidates)

Travel: 80% of the time to customer and internal sites (1 week on and weekend off, or 2 weeks on including weekends, following weekend week off) - I can go over this more on the phone.

Top Requirements:

• Bachelors of Science in Engineering or related degree/experience
• 5 years of experience within an Industrial Manufacturing environment
• Experience with the deposition of pre-meg material onto layup and cure molding
• Ability to set-up and Operate CNC Machines equipped with either Fanuc or Siemens CNC Controls
• Experience with Fanuc MACRO-B, local and common variables
• When/where to use M98, G65/G66, etc
• Experience with Siemens Variable Data types and declarations
• Local vs GUB and how they are used
• Experience developing and debuging customer macros for Fanuc and Siemens

Plusses:

• CAD/CAM experience (most of work is not CAD/CAM related)
• CATIA V5 and/or Siemens NX experience for both CAD and CAM (used by larger customers)
• Ability to use part/spindle and took probes (Renishaw preferred*)
• Basic understanding of Fanuc and Siemens 5-axis kinematic definitions
• Understanding of how g43.4 Fanuc and TRAORI are utilized in 5-axis environments
• Understanding differences between 3 2 (G68.2 for Fanuc, CYCLE800 for Siemens) and continuous 5-axis motion
• Ability to use Renishaw Bar equipment
• Ability to use Laser Interferometers
• Ability to troubleshoot/commission 5-axis kinematics for Fanuc and Siemens

Daily Responsibilities:

Insight Global is currently seeking a CNC Application Engineer for a direct-hire opportunity. This role involves 80-90% travel on average, this engineer would need to be flexible. The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise in CNC machine setup and operation, particularly with Fanuc and Siemens controls. Proficiency in Fanuc MACRO-B programming, including the use of M98, G65/G66, and variable management, as well as Siemens variable data types and macro development, is essential. Experience with pre-meg material deposition onto layup and cure molding is highly valued. Additional strengths include CAD/CAM familiarity (especially CATIA V5 and Siemens NX), use of Renishaw probing systems, laser interferometers, and a solid understanding of 5-axis kinematics, including G43.4, TRAORI, G68.2, and CYCLE800. The role involves developing and debugging custom macros and supporting advanced CNC applications for high-performance manufacturing environments. Overall, they will design, plan, and coordinate the mechanical and software integration for the machine tools, controls, and processes to deliver components for a variety of sector applications such as aerospace, automotive, energy, oil & gas, and heavy equipment.
