• Convert prints/CAD and GD&T into robust machining strategies and setup documentation
• Create and maintain InspecVision optical inspection programs for automated verification
• Author thorough setup/program sheets with setups, tooling, pickup points, toolpaths, and grind stock
• Rapidly troubleshoot programming/machining issues to protect schedule and quality
• Continuously improve processes to reduce cycle time and variation
• Own cutting tool procurement, inventory management, and life monitoring per tooling BOMs
• Collaborate daily with design engineers, operators, quality teams, and production leadership
• Keep documentation accurate and current with ECNs, customer changes, and process updates
• Model safe work practices and uphold quality standards and company policies

What makes you successful here

• 5+ years CNC milling programming in a metal stamping environment
• Mastery of Mastercam, GibbsCAM, or equivalent CAM tools
• Strong G-code knowledge, machining principles, tool selection, feeds/speeds
• Expert reading of blueprints/CAD with solid GD&T application
• Resourceful troubleshooting while maintaining throughput
• Detail-driven, quality-focused communicator who meets deadlines
• Organized with inventory and documentation; improvement-minded and safety-focused

Preferred qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required; technical degree or related manufacturing education preferred
• Experience programming and supporting optical inspection systems
• Knowledge of tooling purchasing, inventory control, and cutting tool optimization
• Experience assisting toolroom and die manufacturing operations

Physical expectations

• Frequent standing and walking on the shop floor
• Lift 25 lbs routinely and up to 50 lbs on occasion
• Sustain focus through repetitive tasks over a full shift
• Good vision, depth perception, and manual dexterity for verification, inspection, and support

Tech stack

• CAM: Mastercam, GibbsCAM
• Machines: CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) — Fanuc, Bridgeport
• Metrology: InspecVision optical inspection
• Core proficiencies: GD&T, CNC Programming

Impact you’ll see

From the first toolpath to the final inspection routine, your work will set the pace for throughput, tool performance, and part quality—inside a collaborative environment that values precision and continuous improvement.
