• Independently complete full setups and operate CNC lathes and milling machines.
• Read and interpret blueprints, process sheets, engineering requirements, and GD&T.
• Select, install, and adjust tooling, fixtures, and machine parameters.
• Load and align materials and workpieces to produce parts within required tolerances.
• Run sample parts, verify results, and make necessary adjustments before continuing production.
• Inspect finished work using micrometers, calipers, gauges, dial indicators, and other precision measuring tools.
• Identify machining, tooling, material, or quality concerns and help determine practical corrections.
• Document inspection results, production information, and machine adjustments accurately.
• Perform basic preventive maintenance, tool changes, lubrication, and equipment cleaning.
• Maintain an organized, safe work area and follow all PPE and plant safety requirements.
• Use production and quality systems to track work orders and part history.
• Support production goals, continuous improvement activities, and the development of consistent machining practices.

YOU MIGHT BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU…

• Have full setup experience on both CNC lathes and mills.
• Understand the machining process beyond basic machine operation.
• Can work independently through setup, first-piece verification, adjustment, and production.
• Take pride in producing accurate work and catching problems before they affect additional parts.
• Are comfortable reading blueprints, process sheets, and GD&T.
• Approach machine or tooling problems calmly and methodically.
• Communicate clearly when you identify an equipment, material, or quality concern.
• Keep your tools, documentation, and work area organized.
• Want to continue developing your technical and leadership skills.
• Are interested in eventually growing into a lead or supervisory position.
