What you will do

• Review operation travelers, engineering drawings, and work instructions to plan each job, select the appropriate tools and materials, and determine the most efficient machining methods and setups.
• Set up CNC turning and milling machines by installing tooling, developing and loading CNC programs, and selecting optimal cutting speeds, feeds, machining sequences, and depths of cut.
• Properly load, center, chuck, and fixture parts to ensure accurate machining.
• Monitor machine performance throughout production, inspect tooling for wear, and make adjustments as needed to maintain quality and process control.
• Perform first-piece and in-process inspections using precision measuring instruments to verify parts meet print specifications before and during production.
• Operate multiple machines simultaneously when production requirements call for it.
• Report worn, damaged, or depleted tooling to the Team Leader or Supervisor to ensure uninterrupted production.
• Use a variety of precision measuring equipment, including micrometers, calipers, verniers, thread gauges, and plug gauges, to verify dimensional accuracy.
• Safely use cranes, dollies, and carts to transport materials, work-in-process, and completed parts throughout the facility.
• Maintain an organized work area by properly storing tooling, inserts, and point-of-use materials using established labeling and identification systems.
• Keep machines, tools, and work areas clean and well-maintained to support a safe and efficient work environment.
• Follow all established operating procedures and quality standards while performing daily responsibilities.
• Proactively identify and report safety concerns, helping to maintain a safe workplace for everyone.
• Support the team by performing other duties and special projects as assigned by the Team Leader or Supervisor.

What You Will Have

• Experience programming CNC mills and lathes using Mastercam, Fusion 360, GibbsCAM, or similar CAM software.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or other CAD software.
• Experience with FANUC, Haas, or similar CNC controls.
• Strong knowledge of G-code/M-code programming, tooling selection, speeds and feeds, and blueprint interpretation, including GD&T.
• Experience with precision measuring equipment and quality inspection processes.
