  • Perform first-article inspections and make necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with specifications.
  • Troubleshoot setup and machining issues and implement corrective actions independently.
  • Optimize machining processes for cycle time, tool life, and part quality.
    Collaborate with programmers and engineers to refine machining strategies and resolve technical challenges.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
  • Document setup procedures and best practices for repeatability and knowledge sharing.
  • Train and mentor junior machinists and setup personnel as needed.
  • Perform routine machine maintenance and proactively report issues.
    Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, including Lean and Kaizen activities.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • High School diploma or GED required; technical/vocational training preferred.
  • Minimum of 7 years of CNC machining experience, with at least 3 years in a setup role on mill-turn and/or Swiss screw machines.
  • Strong knowledge of CNC machine operation, tooling, and setup techniques.
    Proficient in reading and interpreting complex blueprints and GD&T.
  • Solid understanding of machining principles, speeds and feeds, and material properties.
  • Skilled in using precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, indicators, CMMs).
  • Familiarity with CAM software (e.g., MasterCam) and ability to collaborate with programmers.
  • Strong math skills, including geometry and trigonometry.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of quality and productivity.
