Key Responsibilities Generate efficient, proven CNC programs using CAM software (GibbsCam, Fusion 360, Hypermill, or equivalent) for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling and turning operations. Develop complete manufacturing packages from customer-supplied solid models (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) and 2D engineering drawings with full GD&T callouts. Perform full setups and operate CNC horizontal/vertical machining centers and lathes; design or specify custom work holding solutions (vises, fixture plates, soft jaws). Select appropriate cutting strategies (roughing, high-efficiency milling, etc.) and manage tool length offsets, work coordinate offsets, and in-process adjustments to maintain tight tolerances. Collaborate with engineering and estimating teams on DFM reviews; execute rapid prototype runs and support the quality team with First Article Inspection (FAI) and

completion. Regularly review running jobs to reduce cycle times, eliminate tool chatter, upgrade cutting tool technology, and apply high-efficiency machining (HEM) techniques. Conduct real-time inspection of finished components using precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, bore gauges) and maintain accurate setup sheets and program revision logs. Communicate clearly with quality, scheduling, and operations teams; train and mentor junior machinists and operators on setup procedures and safe practices. Experience & Qualifications 5+ years of combined CNC programming and machining experience in a high-precision contract manufacturing or job shop environment. Strong expertise in at least one industry-standard CAM platform (such as Fusion 360, GibbsCAM, or Hypermill). Proven experience machining aluminum alloys, copper, brass, and stainless steel variants to tight tolerances. Hands-on experience with Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, or Okuma controls, including the ability to edit G-code at the control. Exceptional ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, schematics, and full GD&T callouts.
