Mechanical knowledge and ability to read schematics and blueprints.
Familiarity with tooling requirements and geometry calculations for various machining operations.
Strong math skills for precision measurements and machining-related calculations.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work in a production-style environment.
Strong understanding of machining processes, tool paths, and G-code.
Ability to work independently and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

Develop and implement CNC programs for 5-axis milling and lathe operations using Mastercam.
Help design and implement new fixtures for product lines.
Use CAD/CAM software to program and simulate machining operations.
Conduct setups with machinists for new programs on CNC machines, ensuring appropriate tooling and fixtures are in place.
Perform quality checks using precision measuring instruments such as calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM).
Apply GD&T principles to ensure compliance with design specifications.
Collaborate with the manufacturing manager and quality manager to identify lean manufacturing improvements.
Troubleshoot machining issues and adjust processes to optimize performance.
Work with machinists, quality personnel, and engineers to resolve issues related to programming, tooling, and machining processes.
Validate and verify CNC programs for accuracy before release to the shop floor.
Maintain documentation of programming changes, setups, and process improvements.
