Production Engineering Technologist - Numerical Control Data - Irving Shipbuilding

Key Responsibilities

• Develop accurate Numerical Control (NC) production data for structural and outfitting components, including part nesting and toolpath generation.
• Translate engineering drawings and 3D models into CNC‑ready programs for automated cutting and welding equipment.
• Collaborate with design, fabrication, and quality teams to ensure manufacturability, compliance with GD&T, and adherence to project schedules.
• Validate NC files through simulation, test cuts, and on‑shop floor verification, troubleshooting any discrepancies.
• Maintain and continuously improve NC data libraries, standards, and documentation to support repeatable, high‑quality production.

Requirements

• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Production Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Proficiency with CAD/CAM software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and hands‑on experience generating NC code for CNC cutting/welding machines.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, nesting strategies, and manufacturing process planning for large‑scale steel structures.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work cross‑functionally in a fast‑paced shipyard environment.
• Effective communication skills and a commitment to safety and quality standards.
