Key Responsibilities:

- Study customer drawings and define machining strategy
- Program parts using CAM or manual G-code
- Set up tools, fixtures, work offsets, and run jobs on VMC machines

- Experience with CAM software and G-code editing
- Ability to read engineering drawings (GD&T; basics preferred)

What Will Set You Apart

- You don’t stop at “the part is done” you improve cycle time and finish
- You understand why a problem happens, not just how to fix it
