Job description
Senior Manufacturing Engineer – CNC Machining
At ReLogic Research, you won’t be just another headcount. We’re a tight-knit team of engineers, physicists, and technical professionals solving complex challenges in national defense — and we’re looking for people who take pride in getting the details right.
As an AS9100D-certified small business supporting the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Missile Defense Agency, we move fast, trust our people, and give team members real ownership of their work. Unlike larger organizations, you’ll work directly with machinists, programmers, and leadership to improve setup efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, standardize processes, and improve first-pass yield.
This is not a pure programming role and not an operator role. The right candidate will be able to look at a print and determine:
How the part should be manufactured
Sequence of operations
Setup strategy
Workholding and fixturing
Tooling approach
Machine allocation
Inspection considerations
Risk areas before production
Primary Responsibilities
Process Planning & Setup Strategy
Develop machining process plans for aerospace components
Determine optimal sequence of operations for complex machined parts
Design and standardize setup sheets and routing instructions
Define datums, setup logic, and manufacturing strategy
Identify manufacturability concerns before release to production
CNC Manufacturing Support
Collaborate with CNC programmers and machinists to prove out jobs
Determine optimal machine selection for production
Recommend tooling and workholding strategies
Reduce setup times and improve repeatability
Troubleshoot manufacturing issues and bottlenecks
Continuous Improvement
Standardize repeatable machining practices
Improve throughput, quality, and cycle efficiency
Reduce scrap and rework
Establish process documentation and best practices
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work with quality, engineering, programmers, and machinists
Support first article inspection and production readiness
Drive process consistency across CNC operations
Required Qualifications
Active Secret security clearance or ability to obtain and maintain a clearance
7+ years of CNC machining manufacturing engineering experience
Aerospace machining experience strongly preferred
Strong experience with multi-axis CNC machining (3/4/5-axis preferred)
Experience with Mazak equipment preferred
Strong understanding of setup planning, fixturing and workholding, GD&T, tolerancing, machining strategy, and process routing
Ability to read engineering prints and independently develop machining plans
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in high-mix, low-volume aerospace manufacturing
Familiarity with CAM software (Mastercam, NX, HyperMill, Fusion, Esprit, or similar)
Experience supporting first article and production transfer
Experience improving manufacturing flow and setup reduction
What Success Looks Like
Setups become predictable and repeatable
Less tribal knowledge, more documented process
Reduced machine downtime between jobs
Better planning before parts hit the floor
Operators spend more time machining and less time figuring out how to run the job
Improved throughput and fewer production surprises
This is a full-time salaried position with highly competitive compensation based on experience and skills, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for career growth. Approximately 10% travel is expected.
