The Mechanical Engineer will be involved with CNC applications in an engineering design and development prototype shop. Responsibilities will include using Pro-E models to create CNC tool paths and programs required to manufacture parts, and leading efforts for postprocessor development and implementation. Candidates must be able to fill the CAM gap between engineering and machine production, and have the ability to troubleshoot existing Pro/NC programs, sequences and procedures, recommending new software and processes to streamline production efforts. This person will also be instrumental in training new personnel and existing operators.

Minimum requirements include a BS in mechanical engineering, a two-year technical certificate and extensive experience including machine design, as well as 3+ years of NC programming experience (multi-axis milling and lathe). Software customization, CAM analyst/Pro-E mechanical and packaging industry experience working with different materials to create innovative packaging, are also required, as is travel, both domestic and foreign.

All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.

To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.
