Edit programs or write segments to meet job needs. Set up and operate machines; handle changeovers that require manual precision. Deburr parts using a deburring wheel or hand tools. Measure with hand gauges and calipers; verify tolerance and apply offsets. Scan parts into Epicor; log dates and job information without errors. Collaborate with engineers to boost throughput and quality. What Makes You a Fit Clear communicator and team contributor. Mechanical aptitude with strong blueprint-reading capability. Comfortable tackling undefined problems with abstract thinking. Organized, analytical, and detail-focused. Flexible when priorities shift. Baseline Requirements Lift/lower/push/pull up to 40 lbs safely. 2+ years on comparable CNC equipment (preferred). High school diploma. G-code reading and editing proficiency.
