Murphy Machine Products (MMP), a Delva Tool & Machine (DTM) company, is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer for our Wood Dale, IL location. The Manufacturing Engineer will be the technical bridge between the Engineering Manager and Setup Technicians while owning the process from the initial PartMarker program to the physical "First-Off" setup on our Star Swiss, Takisawa, and Haas machines.

  • 7+ years' experience of CNC machining with at least 3 years in a Manufacturing Engineering role.
  • Must be able to demonstrate a track record of setting up complex Swiss and Turning jobs from scratch.

  • Proficiency in PartMaker (Autodesk) is required. Must be able to manage multi-axis synchronization and simulation. 
  • Extensive hands-on setup experience with Star (SR, SB, or SV series) machines, including guide bushing adjustment and sub-spindle handoff.
  • Strong setup and programming skills for Takisawa (Fanuc) and Haas (ST-Series) fixed-head lathes.
  • Deep knowledge of Fanuc (Star/Takisawa) and Haas control architecture.
  • Ability to interpret complex blueprints and ensure setups meet sub-thousandth tolerances consistently.
