Manifest Solutions is currently seeking a CNC Automation & Information Systems Specialist for a position in Columbus, OH.

• Design and implement automated workflows that integrate CAD/CAM data and BIM models directly into CNC machines.
• Develop and maintain databases that track real-time machine performance, production data, and inventory.
• Ensure seamless data flow between BIM models, manufacturing, and business systems (ERP/MRP).
• Incorporate BIM technologies into manufacturing workflows to enhance project visualization, planning, and coordination.
• Leverage BIM models for accurate CNC machining, ensuring precision in the production of components.
• Collaborate with design and engineering teams to ensure that CNC processes align with BIM-driven construction and fabrication requirements.
• Program, operate, and troubleshoot CNC machinery to manufacture parts according to precise specifications.
• Optimize machine settings and CNC programs for enhanced efficiency, precision, and material utilization.
• Work with BIM data to produce CNC programs for custom parts and complex geometries.
• Develop and implement solutions for real-time machine monitoring and predictive maintenance using integrated systems.
• Automate data collection and analysis to continuously improve production workflows and reduce machine downtime.
• Implement "digital twin" simulations to optimize CNC processes before production begins.
• Create adaptive systems that allow for rapid prototyping, on-demand manufacturing, and small-batch production.
• Integrate customer-specific BIM models into automated systems to ensure precision and quality in custom orders.
• Use advanced systems to gather real-time data from CNC machines for quality control and ensure products meet specifications.
• Analyze production data to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for process improvement.
• Work closely with IT, engineering, and production teams to enhance system functionality and machine efficiency.
• Train staff on new systems, tools, and procedures, ensuring a smooth transition to more automated workflows.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure that CNC operations align with BIM-driven project timelines.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in CNC machining, programming, and BIM integration.
