  • 3–4 years of CNC machining experience in a production or job shop environment.
  • High school diploma or equivalent; machining trade certificate or technical coursework preferred.
  • Hands-on proficiency in CNC operation with solid understanding of G-Code and program edits/offsets.
  • Comfortable reading blueprints and applying GD&T.
