- Edit and adjust CNC programs using G-code to maintain part conformance
- Maintain tooling across multiple CNC machines (mills and VTLs)
- Monitor tooling wear; perform tool changes and adjustments as needed
- Adjust tooling and offsets to keep parts within required specifications for operators
- Utilize CMM and inspection data to make process and tooling adjustments
- Troubleshoot machining and equipment issues; identify root causes and implement solutions
- Communicate effectively with Maintenance, Engineering, Toolroom, and Quality when issues arise
- Support robotic cells and automated manufacturing systems as needed
- Assist Toolroom with tooling and fixture-related needs
- Work cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, and Quality to ensure product quality
- Document setups, adjustments, and production issues clearly and accurately
- Drive continuous improvement in quality, uptime, and efficiency
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Strong experience in CNC setup and process support in a production environment
- In-depth understanding of tooling, wear characteristics, and adjustments required to maintain tolerances
- Ability to interpret CMM data and make necessary process/tooling adjustments
- Proven ability to independently identify, troubleshoot, and resolve machining issues at the machine
- Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on problem-solving skills
- Ability to use hand tools, automated equipment, and industrial measuring instruments
- High attention to detail with a focus on maintaining tight tolerances and quality standards
- Strong communication skills and ability to clearly document/log information
Education and/or Experience
- CNC setup experience required (mills, lathes, and/or VTLs)
- Experience editing CNC programs using G-code required
- Proficient in measuring parts using standard inspection equipment (calipers, micrometers, gauges, etc.)
- Experience working across multiple machines/work centers in a production environment
- Experience in a multi-process environment (machining, stamping, assembly, automation) preferred
Pay: $28.00 - $32.00 per hour
