Where would you like to shape the success of your future career: At a worldwide leading manufacturer of process measuring and control technology? In a family- owned company that values its more than 3,700 employees in more than 30 countries and sees them all as individuals? In a team that breaks new ground with courage and passion?
Did you answer „Yes“ three times? Then it is time for us to make your acquaintance.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
CNC Machining Process Ownership:
- Own the value stream processes for CNC machining of systems and standard components, from raw stock to finished part release.
- Drive spindle time optimization across turning, milling, and multi-axis machining cells
- Own and continuously improve machine scheduling practices using SAP CM25 ,ensure accurate, realistic scheduling
- Champion use of the Siemens TMGR Tool Manager for tool presetting, tool life management, and structured tool building
- Define and enforce setup standards: part setup, work-holding, first-article verification, and handover documentation between shifts and operators.
- Partner with programmers on CAM strategy improvements
- Lead root cause analysis on scrap, rework, and non-conformances originating in machining
- Develop and execute a structured improvement roadmap between audit cycles
- Own and maintain the manufacturing qualification matrix per SYNCHRO standards; identify training gaps and drive the qualification plan for machinists and operators.
- Ensure annual instruction plans, familiarization plans, and SFM documentation (SFM boards, team meeting cadence, Go&See schedules) are current and compliant.
- Author and maintain Factory Standards (FSTs), work instructions, BOPs, control plans, and process flow documentation for all manufacturing processes.
- Ensure SAP routing data (CM25 / Fiori) accurately reflects current process times, sequences, and resource assignments
- Build and maintain digital machine handbooks in SI08 for production-critical CNC equipment; ensure maintenance tasks, log entries, and inspection records are current.
- Establish structured filing practices per SYNCHRO Office standard; lead the cleanup and standardization of legacy documentation.
- Drive poka-yoke implementation across machining setups and inspection
- Support process development in welding operations, with a particular growth path toward ASME BPE orbital GTAW welding as the program scales.
- Contribute to process improvements in secondary operations (deburring, washing, inspection)
- Engage with intralogistics improvements (material flow, milk running, kitting) as they interface with machining cell efficiency.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline required.
- Lean Six Sigma Black Belt preferred
- 5 to 8 years of progressively responsible experience in a precision CNC machining environment — turning, milling, multi-axis machining of close-tolerance components.
- Demonstrated ownership of machining process improvement: spindle utilization, setup reduction, tooling programs, and scheduling discipline.
- Direct experience with SAP production modules — CM25 / Fiori scheduling, routing management, and capacity planning.
- Hands-on experience with tool management systems; Siemens TMGR experience is a strong differentiator.
- Experience leading Kaizen events, VSM workshops, and 5S programs in a machining or fabrication environment
- CAD/CAM proficiency (Siemens NX, Mastercam, or equivalent); Vericut simulation experience preferred.
- Familiarity with GD&T, precision measurement, and CMM-based inspection processes as they apply to machined components.
In return, we offer you exciting and challenging responsibilities, diverse perspectives with a high degree of individual freedom and a corporate culture that encourages you to use it.
