• Machining Operations: Execute multi‑axis milling (facing, pocketing, tapping) and precision lathe turning (OD/ID turning, boring, threading, and live tooling).
• Blueprint Reading & GD&T: Interpret complex engineering drawings, schematics, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) callouts to manufacture parts to exact specifications.
• Quality Inspection & Maintenance: Perform in‑process dimensional checks using micrometers, calipers, and bore gauges while managing tool wear and routine machine maintenance.

Qualifications & Requirements

• 3+ years of experience setting up and operating CNC mills and lathes in a precision machine shop environment.
