Do you turn a print into a perfect first article?

If writing Mazatrol from scratch and dialing in a rock-solid production setup sounds like your craft, read on.

What you’ll do

Program at the machine in Mazatrol or G-code straight from blueprints.
Install fixtures, load tools, set tool registers and offsets, and configure machine control settings.

CAM software: Mastercam and Mazatrol

What you bring

Proficient in CNC programming, G-code, M-code, and production setups.
Comfortable with PLC troubleshooting and PLC programming.
Experience on Mazak CNC lathes; exposure to CNC Swiss (Star) welcomed.
Strong grasp of GD&T and measurement practices.

Tools & brands you’ll touch
