Job Description

Job Description

Shape raw stock into perfect parts — from print to program to production

Step into a role where you own the process end to end. You’ll translate blueprints into Mazatrol or G-code, set machines for first-article runs, and keep production flowing with precision and speed.

A day in the life

• Review part prints, plan the sequence, and write original programs in Mazatrol or G-code directly at the machine.
• Set up CNC lathes (2–4 axis) including installing fixtures, loading tools, setting tool registers, and dialing in work/geometry offsets.
• Configure machine control parameters and run first-piece samples, validating results before releasing to production.
• Monitor live cycles, catch malfunctions early, and fine-tune feeds, speeds, and toolpaths to stabilize the process.
• Verify dimensions, finishes, and features against drawings and GD&T callouts; document results.

Controls & platforms you’ll use

• Mazak controls: Mazatrol T-32, T+, Fusion, Matrix, and Smooth Control
• CAM: Mastercam, Mazatrol

What makes you successful here

• Fluency in CNC programming (Mazatrol and G-code) and M-code utilization.
• Strength in production setups and first-article prove-outs.
• Hands-on experience with 2-, 3-, and 4-axis lathes; live tooling and Y-axis familiarity is a strong plus.
• Comfort with PLC troubleshooting and PLC programming in a production context.
• Thorough inspection habits—measuring to spec, confirming surface finish, and aligning to prints.

Your background

• High School diploma or GED.
• 3–5 years in a production manufacturing environment preferred.
• Experience on Mazak CNC lathes (2–4 axis); exposure to CNC Swiss (Star) is valued.
• Proficiency with GD&T interpretation and machine setups for repeatable production runs.
