CNC Setup and Process Technician (G-Code Exp)

CNC Process Technician (Setup, Tooling & G-Code Support)

Position Summary

Pentaflex, Inc is seeking a highly skilled CNC Process Technician to support and optimize manufacturing operations across CNC machining, metal stamping, robotic cells, and assembly. This role is a hands-on technical resource responsible for machine setups, tooling management, program edits, and real-time troubleshooting to ensure production runs efficiently and parts consistently meet specification.

This is not an operator role. This position requires strong technical ability, independent problem-solving, and ownership of machining processes on the production floor.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform full CNC machine setups including tooling, offsets, and first-piece validation
• 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

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Vision insurance

Experience:

• G-Code Editing: 3 years (Required)
