Responsibilities

  • Set up, operate, and troubleshoot CNC machining equipment such as CNC lathes and milling machines, ensuring optimal performance.
  • Program CNC machines using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software and interpret blueprints, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing), and technical drawings to produce precise parts.
  • Use precision measuring instruments including calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to verify dimensions and ensure quality standards are met.
  • Read and interpret complex blueprints and technical documents accurately; apply mechanical knowledge to adjust tooling and machining parameters accordingly.
  • Maintain a clean, safe workspace by properly handling hand tools, power tools, welding equipment, and tooling; adhere to safety protocols at all times.
  • Collaborate with team members on assembly processes involving plastics injection molding or other manufacturing techniques when necessary.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives such as lean manufacturing practices to enhance efficiency and reduce waste.

Qualifications

  • Proven experience operating CNC machinery such as CNC milling machines or CNC lathes; familiarity with Fanuc controls is a plus.
  • Strong background in CNC programming using CAM software; ability to modify programs based on project requirements.
  • Solid understanding of GD&T principles for precise measurement and quality control.
  • Mechanical aptitude with knowledge of electrical discharge machining (EDM), welding, and tooling setup.
  • Proficiency in reading blueprints, technical drawings, and schematics; basic math skills for measurements and calculations.
  • Experience with precision measuring instruments including calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM).
  • Ability to operate hand tools, power tools, forklifts (certification preferred), and other manufacturing equipment safely.
  • Knowledge of plastics injection molding processes is advantageous but not mandatory.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively within a team-oriented environment. Join us as a CNC Machinist if you’re passionate about precision manufacturing! Bring your mechanical expertise, technical skills, and enthusiasm for innovation to help us produce top-tier components that meet the highest standards of quality.
