Process Engineer, CNC Machining

About this role

Dandy seeks an experienced Process Engineer to develop and optimize CNC machining workflows for patient-specific dental components, from prototype to high-volume production. You'll design precision 5-axis toolpaths, integrate automation systems, and lead manufacturing scalability for custom biocompatible materials at micron-level tolerances.

What you'll do

• Program and validate 5-axis CNC machining processes for complex dental geometries with micron-level precision
• Optimize toolpaths, feeds, speeds, and cutting strategies for ceramics and biocompatible alloys
• Develop process plans including tooling, fixtures, validation protocols, and statistical process control
• Integrate automation systems (robotic loading, vision inspection, in-line probing) for lights-out manufacturing
• Lead root cause analysis and yield improvement using structured problem-solving and SPC tools
• Collaborate with R&D, design, and cross-functional teams to scale custom parts to tens of thousands daily

What they're looking for

• CNC programming and CAD/CAM software (NX, Mastercam, ESPRIT, Hypermill)
• 5-axis milling, toolpath strategy, and cutting dynamics
• G-code and machine control programming (Fanuc, Fagor, Siemens macros)
• Statistical process control (SPC) and process validation
• Fixture design and precision workholding solutions
• CNC machine tool evaluation and procurement
• Medical device or dental manufacturing experience
• Manufacturing automation and robotics integration

Benefits

• Remote work opportunity with 30% travel to vendors and facilities
• Comprehensive and inclusive benefits package
