What are the responsibilities and job description for the Flowforming CNC Process Engineer position at Specialized Talent Acquisition Recruiting Team (START)?
You start your shift by checking that Lockout/Tagout and electrical safe work practices are in place. After a quick Elimination of Waste team huddle aligned to the company’s goals and objectives, you head to your assigned flowforming equipment. You run PM (preventive) and PD (predictive) tasks, capture downtime accurately, and submit clear work orders so the entire maintenance system stays reliable and traceable.
On the floor, you’re the go‑to resource for advanced flowform troubleshooting and dimensional control. Using CMM/gaging results and blueprint specifications, you pinpoint the root cause through a disciplined process of elimination, then repair or modify CNC programs and mechanical attributes to bring parts back within tolerance. You continually refine machine functions, process flow, and part programming—applying a continuous improvement mindset to the CNC machining process every step of the way.
