    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.
