• Complete machine setups, including tooling, workholding, offsets, speeds, feeds, and coordinate systems.
• Read blueprints and technical drawings to determine the best machining approach.
• Troubleshoot programming, tooling, setup, and machining issues as they come up.
• Inspect finished parts with precision measuring tools and make adjustments to maintain quality.
• Work with Engineering and the machining team on new jobs, process improvements, and keeping production moving efficiently.

What We Are Looking For:

• Hands‑on experience setting up, programming, and running CNC machines.
• Experience using Mastercam to create or modify CNC programs. Around 5 years of programming experience is preferred.
• Experience with CNC machining centers such as VMCs, HMCs, and CNC lathes.
• A solid understanding of tooling, workholding, offsets, speeds, feeds, and machining processes.
• Ability to read and understand blueprints, technical drawings, tolerances, and machining requirements.
• Experience using precision measuring tools and making adjustments to keep parts within specification.
• Good troubleshooting skills when a setup, program, tool, or part is not running as expected.
• Experience with fixture or workholding design, 4th‑axis milling, CNC lathe programming, or SolidWorks is a plus.
• High school diploma or equivalent required. Technical training in machining, CNC operations, manufacturing technology, or a related area is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail, good judgment, professionalism, and the ability to work independently while staying connected with the team.
