What you'll be doing:

Program, set up, and operate 3-axis and 5-axis (3+2) CNC machining centers, CNC lathes, Swiss lathes, and abrasive waterjet equipment

Create, modify, and optimize machining programs using G-code, conversational programming, CAD/CAM, Siemens, Heidenhain, and OMAX

Perform first-article runs, verify dimensions, and adjust programs as needed

Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, GD&T, and CAD models to develop machining strategies

Select tooling, fixtures, and cutting parameters for efficient, repeatable production

Simulate programs to verify accuracy and prevent collisions

Troubleshoot machining issues including tool wear, machine alarms, and dimensional concerns

Inspect parts using micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gauges, and vision systems

Maintain production records and complete required quality documentation

Train operators on safe and proper machining procedures

Recommend process improvements to reduce cycle times and improve quality

Support root cause analysis and corrective actions when issues occur

What you'll bring to the table:

High school diploma or GED

7+ years of machine shop experience

Certified CNC programming training and/or equivalent hands-on experience

3+ years programming and machining on 3-axis and 5-axis (3+2) machining centers

Experience with CNC lathes, Swiss lathes, and high-pressure abrasive waterjet machines

Strong understanding of G-code, conversational programming, and CAD/CAM software

Ability to read blueprints and apply GD&T

Experience with precision measuring equipment

Strong troubleshooting and process improvement skills
