• Program, set-up and operate Haas UMC-750.
• Develop and optimize CNC programs using CAM software.
• Select tooling, fixtures, and work holding strategies for complex geometries.
• Perform tooling changes, offsets, and adjustments as needed to maintain quality and efficiency.
• Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and GD&T specifications.
• Conduct first-piece inspections and in-process checks to ensure compliance with quality standards.
• Troubleshoot and resolve machining and robotic loader issues.
• Continuously improve cycle times, tool life, and process efficiency
• Maintain a clean and organized work area, adhering to all safety protocols.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams to improve processes and reduce downtime.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of CNC machining experience, with proven experience with 5 axis and mill turn / live tooling lathes.
• Proven ability to program at the machine without relying solely on CAM software.
• Strong understanding of G-code, M-code, tooling, and machining best practices.
• Hands-on experience with robotic loaders in a CNC environment.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and GD&T.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• High school diploma or equivalent; technical/vocational training preferred.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to stand for extended periods.
• Lift up to 50 lbs as needed.
