• Read and interpret blueprints, including GD&T symbols and 3D part features.
• Troubleshoot surface finish, tool wear, or dimensional issues.
• Maintain machine cleanliness, perform minor maintenance, and ensure safe operation.
• Collaborate with lead machinists, engineers, and quality inspectors to ensure part accuracy.
