CNC Manufacturing Technician ApprenticeOur purposeBuild precise parts, reliably and safely. As an apprentice technician, you help deliver consistent quality for our customers while learning modern CNC manufacturing on Fanuc-controlled equipment.Your first 90 days — a scenarioWeek 1–2: You partner with your CNC trainer and supervisor to learn cell work instructions, safety/environmental practices, and inspection flow. You get hands-on with machine prep and gage setup, and you practice the tag procedure.Week 3–6: You operate CNC lathes and mills and gain exposure to broaching. You verify parts with plug, snap, flush pin, go/no-go gages, calipers, and more. You learn to spot trends, make offset corrections, and swap inserts correctly based on type and radius.Week 7–12: You manage documentation independently, sustain housekeeping standards, and consistently meet or exceed production targets while protecting quality. You submit at least one improvement suggestion to your supervisor or the HR box, and you assist in troubleshooting quality issues using data from gaging.What success looks likeEvery task follows job, safety/environmental, and inspection instructions from cell documentation and leadershipMachines and gages are prepared correctly before production startsParts conform to print; deviations are corrected through proper offsets and timely insert changesPaperwork is complete, accurate, and on timeProduction output meets or beats standards without sacrificing qualityHousekeeping, recycling, labeling, spill procedures, and environmental programs are followedQuality and Environmental system requirements are met at all timesContinuous improvement ideas are shared proactively with a supervisor or via the HR boxOther duties are taken on as assigned by your supervisor to support the teamYour toolkitCNC lathes and mills; exposure to broachingFanuc controlsGaging: plug, snap, flush pin, go/no-go, calipers, and related toolsOffset adjustments, insert identification (type/radius), and proper changeoverHigh-volume production discipline and basic quality troubleshootingWhat you already bringExperience in, or readiness to be trained on, CNC equipment (lathes, mills, broaches)Machine shop training in high school or beyondAbility to perform offsets confidentlyKnowledge of insert types and radii with correct installation practicesProficiency reading and interpreting common gages
