Ideal profile
7–10+ years of CNC programming and machining experience preferred
Experience with CNC milling, Swiss machining, or both; multi-axis experience preferred
Strong knowledge of CNC programming principles, tooling, feeds and speeds, and machining processes
Experience machining complex, tight-tolerance components
Strong knowledge of GD&T and the ability to interpret complex engineering drawings
CAM programming experience; Mastercam, GibbsCAM, or comparable software preferred
Experience with Haas, Mazak, FANUC, Citizen, Tsugami, Star, or comparable platforms is a plus
Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
Experience providing technical guidance or mentoring other machinists preferred
Medical device, aerospace, or other high-precision manufacturing experience preferred
High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training or CNC certification preferred
