About Us

Bartlett Additive Manufacturing, LLC, a Bartlett Maritime Corporation company, is standing up a new production facility in Cleveland, Ohio, to manufacture large metal components using wire-based additive manufacturing for U.S. defense customers. We are a small, senior, hands-on team building a facility, its quality systems, and its manufacturing processes from the ground up. The engineers who join now will write the procedures, choose the equipment, and set the standards the rest of the organization will follow.

Job Description

We are hiring a Manufacturing Engineer to define how additively manufactured parts become finished parts. You will choose the machining equipment with the team, write the programs that run on it, define fixturing, and set how much extra material the additive process must deposit so every part machines to its final tolerances. You will build the manufacturing plan and then run it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take part in machine selection for the machining and finishing area, including defining requirements, evaluating options, and supporting installation and acceptance.

  • Program CNC machines for turning, milling, and multi-axis work, and develop the cutting tool strategies behind those programs.

  • Define fixturing and workholding for machining of additively manufactured parts, including fixture design requirements.

  • Determine the extra deposited material (overweld) and machining stock allowances needed to reach final dimensions and tolerances, working with the Welding Engineer.

  • Develop shop floor routings, work instructions, and bills of materials, including tooling, fixtures, and consumables.

  • Work with the Welding Engineer and Quality Engineer on the Process Control Plan and on the handoff between deposition, heat treatment, machining, and inspection.

  • Support the technical side of outsourced operations: write the technical requirements for outside vendors, review their processes, and verify their work. Project management of vendors is handled by others.

  • Help select the facility's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) tools, and set up the manufacturing data that lives in them.

  • Drive improvements in cycle time, tooling cost, and first-pass yield as production ramps.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

  • [5 or more] years of manufacturing engineering experience in a machining environment.

  • Hands-on CNC programming experience using a CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) platform. We have not yet selected our software, so experience with any major platform is welcome.

  • Experience designing fixtures and workholding for complex or irregular parts.

  • Understanding of machining tolerances, stock allowances, and how distortion and residual stress affect final dimensions.

  • Experience writing routings, work instructions, and process documentation.

  • Willingness to work through equipment, software, and process decisions as part of a small team.

Qualifications and Skills

  • Experience machining titanium or copper-nickel alloys.

  • Experience with multi-axis mill-turn machining.

  • Experience machining near-net-shape parts from welded, cast, or forged preforms.

  • Experience with large or heavy components.

  • Experience selecting or implementing ERP or MES software.

  • Experience working with outside machining, finishing, or heat treatment vendors.

  • This position requires U.S. citizenship. Candidates must be able to pass a background check, and the ability to obtain a security clearance may be required.

Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, Vision 

  • 401(k) with Company Match

  • Paid Time Off 

  • Paid Holidays 

  • Life and Disability Insurance 

  • Employee Assistance Program
