We are integrating custom machine tools using the Fanuc 30i CNC for Boeing, Airbus and other aerospace clients. Experience with either CNCs or PLCs is acceptable.

Experience with machine tools and/or articulated robots is desired. Experience with offline programming/simulation packages (Delmia, etc.) is also desired. After gaining experience we are hoping to develop an engineer that can perform alone in the factory programming, debug and repair of complex machine tools.
