Job Description
Lead the craft. Elevate the process. Inspire the team.
We are looking for a CNC Process Leader who thrives at the intersection of precision, mentorship, and continuous improvement. You will operate cutting-edge mills and lathes, make smart programming tweaks, and coach machinists so perfect parts are produced the first time—and every time.
How you will make an impact
Picture this : a complex component hits the schedule. You review the blueprint, set up the job, verify offsets, and run first-article checks. You adjust G & M code to optimize cycle time without sacrificing tolerance. You notice an NVA step in the changeover and remove it. Quality validates your fix; Engineering captures the standard. Later, when a teammate is out, you step onto the machine to keep output on track while keeping 6S and safety front and center.
- Lead, coach, and cross-train machinists in best-in-class CNC practices.
- Teach the team to distinguish VA from NVA work and set goals to eliminate NVA.
- Work with Quality, Engineering, and Maintenance to solve problems and implement improvements.
- Oversee schedules, consumables, and issue maintenance work orders as needed.
- Uphold standard work, safety procedures, and 6S—sustainably.
- Support production coverage during absences and improvement events.
- Execute the build plan and chart results hourly.
