Requirements

2-Year Technical Diploma or Associate Degree in CNC Machining / Machine Tool Technology required.
Verified professional experience setting up large milling centers and executing close-tolerance work on massive, complex workpieces.
Deep technical capability editing G&M codes at the control panel, using MDI, and reading GD&T engineering prints.
Ability to evaluate tool wear on active runs, calculate feed/speed parameters, and troubleshoot unproven program paths on the fly.
U.S. Citizenship or Green Card holder residing within a comfortable daily driving distance of Greater Duluth, MN.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on setup capability with 5-axis milling centers or multi-spindle, live-tooling CNC turning centers.
Prior experience machining high-strength castings, weldments, or forgings for heavy machinery OEMs.
Familiarity with Mastercam or offline CAM programming software concepts.

Responsibilities

Execute Complex Setups: Perform independent tool and fixture setups and advanced operations on large-scale CNC milling centers, lathes, and multi-axis machinery.
Controller-Level Optimization: Edit G&M code directly at the machine controller and optimize tool paths to machine precision parts from high-strength steel alloys.
Blueprint & GD&T Interpretation: Analyze complex engineering drawings to establish operational sequences and verify strict geometric tolerances.
Precision Metrology: Utilize specialized measuring tools (bore gauges, depth micrometers, calipers) to perform thorough quality checks and maintain 100% part conformance.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with welding, fabrication, and design engineering teams to solve setup roadblocks and shorten cycle times.
Asset Care & Safety: Maintain a clean, organized 5S workstation while upholding safety-first standards and routine preventative maintenance.
