Description
What You'll Do
  • Program, set up, and operate CNC milling machines
  • Read and interpret blueprints, planning sheets, sketches, and technical data
  • Write, edit, and adjust CNC programs (G-code / M-code) using Mastercam, SolidWorks, or similar software

  • Select, preset, and install cutting tools; calculate feeds, speeds, depths, and coolant flow
  • Conduct prove-outs and manual programming during setups
  • Troubleshoot machine issues, program errors, tooling problems, and out-of-tolerance conditions
  • Machine challenging materials including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and plastics
  • Inspect parts using precision gauges to ensure quality and regulatory compliance

  • Proven experience adjusting programs and tooling independently
  • Deep understanding of cutters, inserts, and tool selection based on material and tolerances
  • Knowledge of G-codes, M-codes, and CAM software (Mastercam preferred)
  • Experience in medical or regulated manufacturing strongly preferred
  • Associate degree or technical training helpful—but experience matters most
