  • Deep understanding of multi-axis tool paths, work offsets, sub-spindles, and live tooling integration.

  • Solid knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and the ability to work from complex part prints and solid models.

  • Familiarity with high-performance materials including stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, and other aerospace-grade alloys.

  • Skilled in using a variety of precision inspection tools, including CMMs.

  • Excellent troubleshooting skills and ability to optimize cycle times and minimize tool wear.
