A day in your life on our floor You clock in, review a blueprint for a one-off, high-value component, and plan your setup on a modern turning center. With steady rest and tailstock dialed in, you load tools, apply your G-code know-how, and verify offsets. Throughout the run, you use micrometers and calipers to validate dimensions, make smart program edits, and collaborate with a teammate to troubleshoot a surface finish issue. By end of shift, you've produced a precision part within spec—one of just a handful in the lot. What you'll handle Set up and operate CNC lathes and mills (2-5 axis) for large, low-volume (1-10 pcs) precision components. Interpret engineering drawings and GD&T to plan efficient setups and machining strategies. Input and adjust programs (G & M code), perform basic program troubleshooting, and optimize offsets and tooling. Use steady rest and tailstock properly for large-part rigidity and accuracy. Perform routine maintenance to keep machines at peak performance. Measure with precision instruments (micrometers, calipers, hand metrology) and verify all critical dimensions. Work closely with peers to quickly resolve machining challenges while upholding safety and quality standards. What you bring Minimum 5 years of hands-on CNC setup and operation experience. Fanuc and Mazak control proficiency; strong G-code foundation; CAD/CAM familiarity. Ability to read and interpret blueprints and understand drawing features and GD&T. Deep understanding of tool offsets and changeovers. Own basic machinist tools. Proven problem-solving ability, solid math skills, and the discipline to follow written procedures.
