**Application Engineer**
**Sheffield**
**Circa £50k**
We’re recruiting an Application Engineer for a Sheffield machining business that supports demanding aerospace and high-spec work. The role is hands on, technical and customer facing. They want someone who can get into the detail of a process, improve it properly, and explain it clearly. Start is as soon as possible for the right person.
**What you’ll actually do**
* Review existing machining methods and tighten them up – better process control, better consistency, less wasted time.
* Build proper process control into jobs: probing, setup aids, cut/measure/cut routines, and reliable data.
* When something goes wrong, work out why before you change anything. First-principles thinking is the point of the job.
* Challenge the way things are currently done. If a process is slow, unstable or over-complicated, you’re expected to question it and improve it.
* Understand machine tool kinematics and what the machine can and can’t do.
* Run time studies on customer parts and show where the real savings are.
* Design custom fixturing or tooling when the standard approach isn’t good enough.
* Explain your methodology clearly to customers and colleagues. You need to be able to talk people through what you’re doing and why.
* Work as part of a team and share ideas rather than keep them to yourself.
You’ll also need to be comfortable with ISO G-code and macro cycles. Experience writing and testing post processors, or with Zoller TMS, is useful but not essential.
**What you need**
* Solid experience operating, setting and programming CNC machines for both milling and turning. 5-axis mill/turn is ideal.
* Large scale machining experience is preferred.
* Strong CAD/CAM skills – Siemens NX is the preference.
* Experience working to Rolls-Royce standards is a clear advantage.
* You’ve designed fixturing before.
* Vericut (or RMVM) experience.
* Practical knowledge of probing cycles for setup and in-process inspection.
* Comfortable on Siemens Sinumerik controls, including tool data, monitoring and cycles.
* A practical, problem solving approach. If something isn’t cutting right, you know how to diagnose it at the machine rather than just throw changes at it.
**The basics**
* Based in Sheffield.
* Circa £50k. May go higher for the right candidate.
* Full-time, permanent.
* Start ASAP for the right candidate
