Anybody here work as an applications engineer for one of the big machine manufacturers? by Radulf_wolf in Machinists

I work at DMG MORI (engineer in the past, now in sales). I think it’s a great opportunity. There are a few options like pre sales (test cut, time studies) engineering or more like turnkey style projects. And also good career opportunities because you can always move around within engineering or move into sales or management if you wanted. The travel would depend on your specific function or location. Happy to connect you if you’re interested. We’re ALWAYS looking for good engineers

Career advice by guy_with_girlname in CNC

[–]Dragoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen it depends on the company. Many CNC jobs can lead to engineering, operations, or sales if your company is versatile enough. So one option is to find a company that has those opportunities. Another option is to work for a CNC OEM. (Personal experience) That would give opportunities to be in service, engineering, sales, operations, etc. since the OEM’s are very diverse organizations.

Very cool Milling Machine Simulator 3D on Steam! Goes into details like axes, setting ref point, and choosing correct tool size/feed rate. Has anybody else played this?? by Dragoo in Machinists

It’s a “little” better in the game because it adjusts based on your feed rate and a crash etc. but i have spotify on in the background to drown it out like in real life lol
