• Set up and operate CNC milling equipment to manufacture precision components.
• Prepare machines, fixtures, tooling, and attachments for assigned machining operations.
• Determine the appropriate machining sequence, setup approach, and number of required cuts.
• Adjust cutting parameters, including speeds and feeds, based on the machining operation and material.
• Perform complex milling involving contours, compound angles, angular holes, helical or spiral features, and other precision geometries.
• Perform gear, spline, serration, and keyway‑related machining operations as required.
• Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, sketches, and manufacturing specifications.
• Calculate dimensions and perform required shop‑floor mathematical calculations.
• Lay out, mark, and scribe stock using specified dimensions and reference points.
• Use machinist hand tools and precision measuring equipment to verify finished dimensions.
• Inspect work throughout the machining process and identify dimensional or quality issues.
• Make appropriate machine or tooling adjustments to maintain required specifications.
• Follow established manufacturing and quality‑control procedures.
• Support process‑control activities and verify product quality using applicable inspection or statistical methods.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and production‑focused machining environment.

Requirements:

• High School Diploma or GED required.
