- 5–10 years of CNC machining experience, preferably in a manufacturing environment.
- Minimum 5 years of CNC milling programming experience.
- Demonstrated ability to independently program, set up, and operate 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling machines.
- Strong understanding of machining principles, tooling, cutting parameters, workholding techniques, and process optimization.
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and GD&T.
- Experience with precision inspection equipment, including micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and height gauges.
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Willingness to assist with production tasks outside of machining when required.
- Commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement.
