Job description

Insight Global is currently seeking a CNC Application Engineer for a direct-hire opportunity. This role involves 80-90% travel on average, this engineer would need to be flexible. The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise in CNC machine setup and operation, particularly with Fanuc and Siemens controls. Proficiency in Fanuc MACRO-B programming, including the use of M98, G65/G66, and variable management, as well as Siemens variable data types and macro development, is essential. Experience with pre-meg material deposition onto layup and cure molding is highly valued. Additional strengths include CAD/CAM familiarity (especially CATIA V5 and Siemens NX), use of Renishaw probing systems, laser interferometers, and a solid understanding of 5-axis kinematics, including G43.4, TRAORI, G68.2, and CYCLE800. The role involves developing and debugging custom macros and supporting advanced CNC applications for high-performance manufacturing environments. Overall, they will design, plan, and coordinate the mechanical and software integration for the machine tools, controls, and processes to deliver components for a variety of sector applications such as aerospace, automotive, energy, oil & gas, and heavy equipment.

Requirements

  • Bachelors of Science in Engineering or related degree/experience

  • 5+ years of experience within an Industrial Manufacturing environment (Experience with the deposition of pre-meg material onto layup and cure molding)

  • Ability to set-up and Operate CNC Machines equipped with either Fanuc or Siemens CNC Controls

  • Experience with Fanuc MACRO-B, local and common variables (When/where to use M98, G65/G66, etc)

  • Experience with Siemens Variable Data types and declarations (Local vs GUB and how they are used )

Experience developing and debugging customer macros for Fanuc and Siemens · CAD/CAM experience (most of work is not CAD/CAM related)

  • CATIA V5 and/or Siemens NX experience for both CAD and CAM (used by larger customers)

  • Ability to use part/spindle and took probes (Renishaw preferred*)

  • Basic understanding of Fanuc and Siemens 5-axis kinematic definitions

  • Understanding of how g43.4 Fanuc and TRAORI are utilized in 5-axis environments

  • Understanding differences between 3+2 (G68.2 for Fanuc, CYCLE800 for Siemens) and continuous 5-axis motion

  • Ability to use Renishaw Bar equipment

  • Ability to use Laser Interferometers

Ability to troubleshoot/commission 5-axis kinematics for Fanuc and Siemens
