About The Position

The primary machining operation will be modification of steel blade cores, and the primary machine tool will be the Haas Gantry Milling machine. You will set up the machine, choose cutting tools, and write or modify basic CNC programs. During and after the machining operations, you will use precision measuring tools to perform quality control checks and ensure compliance to blueprints or routing requirements.
