About the role
- Own CNC process development for patient-specific dental components — from prototype to scaled production.
- Design and validate machining workflows for multi-axis mills (3-, 4-, and 5-axis) that achieve micron-level precision, excellent surface finish, and high throughput.
- Integrate automation systems (robotic loading, part handling, in-line probing, vision inspection) into CNC workflows to achieve 24/7 “lights-out” operation.
- Optimize toolpaths, feeds, speeds, and cutting strategies for complex geometries and challenging materials.
- Develop and document process standards — tool libraries, fixture designs, validation protocols, and SPC control plans.
- Collaborate with R&D and design teams to improve manufacturability of patient-specific geometries while maintaining clinical fidelity.
- Lead root cause analysis and yield improvement across machining cells using structured problem-solving and statistical tools.
- Work cross-functionally with software, automation, and quality teams to build reliable, automated manufacturing lines capable of scaling to tens of thousands of custom parts per day.
- Scout and qualify new technologies — cutting tools, coolant systems, machine architectures, or in-process metrology systems.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in micron-level precision CNC machining, automation, or process development
- Deep technical fluency in multi-axis milling (3-, 4-, and 5-axis)
- Experience developing, tuning, or troubleshooting post-processors or control drivers for G- and M-code generation (e.g., Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens)
- Proven experience integrating automation or robotics into machining workflows
- Strong understanding of statistical process control (SPC), process validation, and manufacturing scalability
- A systems-thinking approach — understanding how design, manufacturing, and inspection fit together in a digital feedback loop
- Comfort working in an agile, fast-paced, high-growth manufacturing environment
Benefits
