CNC Program Engineer (Remote) Anyone

About the job

The Opportunity
We are looking for a seasoned Matsuura expert to serve as a remote consulting partner as we stand up the shop. This is not a hands-on machining role — it is a strategic and technical advisory engagement. You will have direct access to the founder and real influence over how this operation is designed and run.

What we need guidance on:

Matsuura machine selection, configuration, and capability optimization
PALLETECH and pallet automation strategy for lights-out production
CAM programming standards and toolpath strategy for Matsuura platforms
DNC setup and machine communication
Software stack architecture — connecting job submission, scheduling, machine monitoring, and inspection
MES and ERP integration for automated workflow management
Best practices for running unattended shifts — tooling strategy, probing, in-process inspection, alarm management
Operational KPIs and how to instrument the shop from day one


Who We're Looking For

Deep, firsthand experience with Matsuura machining centers — ideally horizontal, 5-axis, or the MX series
Direct experience running or setting up lights-out or highly automated production environments
Working knowledge of the software ecosystem: CAM, DNC, PALLETECH, MES, ERP
Someone who has made mistakes setting up automation and learned from them
Opinionated — we want your real recommendations, not just options


The Engagement
Flexible structure — hourly advisory, retainer, or project-based. We are open to... read more

The Engagement
Flexible structure — hourly advisory, retainer, or project-based. We are open to what works for the right person. This is a long-term relationship as the shop scales, not a one-time project.

To Express Interest
Describe your Matsuura experience and one thing you would do differently if you were setting up a lights-out shop from scratch today.
