  • Set up CNC equipment including lathes, milling machines, grinders, and manual machining tools for production runs.
  • Install tooling, fixtures, and measurement instruments such as calipers, micrometers, and precision measuring devices to ensure accurate machining.
  • Conduct machine calibration, tool changes, and adjustments to optimize performance and maintain tight tolerances.
  • Perform quality inspections using precision measurement instruments to verify dimensions against GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) standards.
  • Troubleshoot machine issues, perform routine maintenance, and ensure safety protocols are followed during setup and operation.

Qualifications

  • Proven experience with CNC machining including CNC lathe and CNC milling machine operations.
  • Strong knowledge of CNC programming languages such as G-code and M-code; experience with CAM software like SolidWorks or CAD programs is highly desirable.
  • Ability to interpret mechanical blueprints and technical drawings accurately.
  • Familiarity with measurement tools including calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, and other precision measuring instruments.
  • Mechanical knowledge of machining tools, tooling setups, grinders, hand tools, power tools, and manual machining techniques.
  • Understanding of GD&T principles for quality control purposes.
  • Basic math skills for calculations related to measurements and machine setup adjustments.
  • Experience with lean manufacturing principles to promote efficiency and waste reduction in machining processes.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot CNC equipment issues quickly.
  • Excellent attention to detail with a focus on producing high-quality metal components through precise measurement in machining operations.

Join us in shaping the future of manufacturing by applying your technical skills in a fast-paced environment that values precision, safety, and innovation!
