Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and programming issues while implementing permanent process improvements.

Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, and technical specifications.

Inspect finished components using calipers, micrometers, comparators, and other precision measuring equipment.

Maintain CNC programs, setup documentation, tooling information, and process records.

Analyze machine performance, productivity, and utilization data to identify improvement opportunities.

Work closely with Engineering, Maintenance, and Production teams to improve manufacturing capabilities.

Train operators and support continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, throughput, and machine efficiency.

SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

5+ years of CNC machining, CNC programming, manufacturing engineering, or advanced setup experience.

Strong knowledge of CNC programming using G&M Code as well as CAM Programming.

Experience programming, setting up, and operating CNC lathes, mills, EDM equipment, and multi-axis machining centers.

Experience with 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis, and advanced multi-axis machining platforms up to 7-axis CNC Machines.

Swiss machining and Swiss-style lathe experience is highly preferred.

Experience with proto@type machining, process development, or low-volume/high-mix manufacturing.

Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, SPC, and continuous improvement methodologies.

Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF, FMEA, Control Plans, and PPAP documentation.

Experience developing standard work instructions and machining documentation.

Ability to independently troubleshoot machining processes, tooling, and programs.

Experience with reading, writing, and editing CAM software and CNC controls.

Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills.

Experience using precision measuring tools and quality gages to verify part quality.

Clean, climate controlled machine shop.
