What You Will Be DoingDesign the future of golf innovation as a
CNC/CAM Project Engineer, where you'll transform cutting-edge concepts into functional prototypes that drive next-generation product development. In this hands-on engineering role, you will leverage NX CAD modeling and advanced 5-axis CNC machining to design, program, and manufacture prototype club heads, components, and precision fixtures that support R&D and innovation initiatives. Working closely with engineers throughout the development process, you will optimize designs for manufacturability, develop machining strategies, determine cutting parameters for a variety of metal alloys, and apply expertise in welding, adhesives, castings, coatings, composites, and joint design to solve complex engineering challenges. You will also help bridge prototype development to large-scale manufacturing by providing design recommendations, creating fixturing solutions, maintaining CNC shop operations, and contributing to patentable innovations that advance product performance and technology.
What You Bring- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline required; equivalent professional experience in CNC/CAM engineering, machining, and prototype development may be considered in lieu of a degree.
- 3+ years of CAD/CAM programming experience, preferably using Siemens NX (Unigraphics) or comparable software such as SDRC or Delcam.
- 3+ years of CNC machining experience, including operation of CNC mills, lathes, and manual mills and lathes.
- 3+ years of welding experience, with the ability to support prototype development and fabrication projects.
Application Requirement: To be considered for this role, candidates must include a cover letter and portfolio samples showcasing completed CNC/CAM and prototype machining work. Portfolio submissions should include photos and a brief description of the project, your specific contributions, and the manufacturing methods used.
