Can you...- Interpret blueprints, GD&T, and setup sheets to configure multi‑axis CNC and rotary transfer machines?

- 3–5 years of CNC setup experience.
- Strong command of G‑code/M‑code and on‑control editing; Fanuc background preferred.
- Advanced metrology skills across both handheld gauges and CMM.
- Fluent with shop math (trig/geometry) for feeds, speeds, coordinates, and trig functions.
- Proficient reading complex prints and understanding tight GD&T callouts.
- Analytical: you deconstruct tough setups into reliable, safe steps.
- Exacting: you aim for first‑pass yield; rework is a last resort.
- Collaborative: you communicate clearly across engineers and entry‑level operators.
- Lift up to 50 lbs; stand for long periods.
