Communicate with supervisors, operators, and quality personnel. Maintain accurate program revisions and production documentation. Follow all shop safety, quality, and manufacturing procedures. Requirements Previous CNC programming experience. Experience with CNC mills, lathes, or machining centers. Ability to read blueprints and understand tolerances. Knowledge of tooling, fixtures, speeds, feeds, and machining processes. Ability to edit G-code. CAM software experience preferred. Strong problem-solving skills.
