Axis CNC Grinding Process Development Specialist - Carson City, NV - Onsite

Job Description:

Strong 5-axis machining knowledge (programming, setup, and toolpath concepts)-MUST
Significant hands-on CNC profile grinding experience, including process development (not only machine operation)
Thorough understanding of wheel dressing: how the dresser works, dresser setup, dress parameters, and how dressing affects profile, finish, and cycle time
Strong CAD skills for interpreting complex part geometry and defining grinding operations (Siemens NX preferred)
Experience grinding nickel-based superalloys or other difficult-to-machine aerospace materials
Ability to read engineering drawings and GD&T; experience with precision measurement and inspection
Preferred
Makino G-series (G5/G7) grinding center experience (strongly preferred)
Otherwise, will try candidates with Mägerle or Blohm profile/creep-feed grinder experience, but this will be a hard sell
Turbine component experience (blades, vanes, nozzles, seals) for aerospace or power generation
Knowledge of grinding burn, residual stress, and surface integrity requirements for turbine parts
CAM programming for 5-axis grinding/machining (NX CAM or similar)
Background in AS9100 or similarly regulated quality environments
Job Description:
Client manufactures precision turbine components, including blades and vanes, from nickel-based superalloys. They need an experienced CNC grinding specialist to develop, optimize, and document profile grinding processes for new parts on 5-axis grinding/machining centers, primarily Makino G-series. The role combines grinding, 5-axis machining, and CAD analysis of part geometry
