In this role, you'll translate drawings and models into production-ready CNC programs for both mills and lathes—optimizing for cycle time, tool life, and flawless quality. You'll guide setups on the floor, manage your cell's operator, and keep up to three machines producing right-first-time parts on schedule. What a day can look like Review customer drawings/specs; build or refine 2D drawings and 3D models as needed. Program new parts for CNC lathes and mills using Mastercam or Hypermill from supplied CAD. Create detailed setup sheets; select cutters, holders, and define tool offsets and work coordinates. Support and instruct machine setups on CNC mills and lathes; lead prove‑outs and debug programs. Troubleshoot machining and programming challenges; iterate to improve yield and cost efficiency. Raise purchasing requisitions for tooling and BOM items; collaborate with internal teams to resolve manufacturing issues. Own a production cell with up to three CNC machines and manage one operator's day‑to‑day work. Deliver parts on promised timelines while upholding company safety policies and quality objectives within our continuous improvement QMS. Qualifications you'll bring High School diploma or GED; Associate's in Engineering Technology, technical certification, or advanced apprenticeship is a plus. At least 1 year of CNC programming experience. Minimum 4 years of hands‑on machining experience (or manager‑qualified equivalent). Proficiency with Mastercam or Hypermill and strong general computer skills. Excellent blueprint reading; solid understanding of GD&T (strong proficiency preferred). Capable with machinist gages (calipers, micrometers, etc.). Track record of problem‑solving, reliability, and adapting in a fast‑paced shop; leadership ability preferred. Experience machining a wide range of materials: steel, aluminum, stainless, plastics, titanium, copper, ceramic, and more. Setup and operation of 3‑axis mills required; 4‑ and 5‑axis experience preferred. Prior CNC machining and setup experience preferred. Able to lift 50-75 lbs, sit or stand for extended periods, and work overtime on a flexible schedule as needed. Standards & proficiencies
