Hi — this is Mohand, a talented U.S.-based product designer and senior CNC programmer with deep mechanical and aerospace engineering experience. I’m excited about the opportunity to support Allient Dothan/Allied Motion Technologies as your CNC Senior Programmer/Machinist and Machine Center of Excellence lead. Over the past 10+ years I’ve developed, optimized, and maintained multi-axis CNC programs (3–5 axis mill/turn and mill-turn) using Esprit, Mastercam, Siemens NX, and Fusion 360, delivering repeatable, tight-tolerance parts for aerospace and precision manufacturing. I interpret complex prints and AS9100/NADCAP-aligned specifications to create robust toolpaths, select high-performance tooling and feeds, and reduce cycle times while protecting tool life. I’ve led Kaizen events, SMED initiatives, and shop-floor Lean deployments that cut setups and scrap, and I regularly mentor junior programmers and machinists through structured workshops and one-on-one coaching. I also bring hands-on experience with first-article inspections, root-cause analysis, ERP/MES integration, and developing standardized program libraries and documentation for NPI and low-volume, high-mix production. I’d welcome a chance to discuss your current part families, tooling standards,
