- Develop reusable templates and standardized program structures
- Automate probing, tool setting, and in-process adjustments
- Build safeguards to reduce operator input and increase consistency
Technical Skills
- Deep understanding of CNC machining fundamentals
- Experience with CAD/CAM software (Mastercam, Fusion 360, NX, or similar)
- Strong knowledge of tooling, materials, tolerances, and fixturing
- Ability to read and interpret complex part drawings
- Experience with multi-axis machining preferred
Background Options

- High visibility across operations, engineering, and leadership
- Clear path to senior engineering or automation leadership roles
Compensation & Benefits
