3-AXIS & 5-AXIS EXPERIENCE

Both 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining are specifically identified in the source requirements. Candidates should demonstrate actual hands-on machining experience with both rather than general CNC exposure alone.

MASTERCAM / CAD-CAM

Mastercam/CAD/CAM knowledge is specifically required. Candidates should be able to explain how they have used CAD/CAM software in connection with CNC setup, programming, toolpaths, program modifications, or troubleshooting.

INSPECTION

Candidates should have familiarity with CMM inspection and hands-on experience with calipers, micrometers, depth micrometers, and gage pins. They should also be comfortable collecting information from blueprints, plans, and work orders to complete inspection documentation.

EDUCATION NOTE

A college degree is not required. The source accepts a high school diploma or GED plus related experience/training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

ISO 9001

ISO 9001 knowledge is preferred, not required. Do not reject an otherwise qualified machinist solely because ISO 9001 experience is not listed.
