Why This Role
Step into a high-impact seat where programming excellence, process optimization, and hands-on leadership come together. You’ll translate complex specs into reliable programs, guide setups, and keep a compact cell humming—on time and on spec.
Core Responsibilities
- Program CNC lathes and mills from customer drawings / specifications, targeting optimal yield and cost.
- Create toolpaths from supplied CAD via Mastercam or Hypermill; generate new 3D models / 2D drawings when required.
- Build setup sheets; select cutting tools and define tool offsets.
- Lead and instruct setups for CNC Mills and CNC Lathes; troubleshoot programming issues.
- Drive continuous improvement aligned with the company QMS; uphold safety and quality objectives.
- Issue purchasing requisitions for tooling and BOM requirements.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to resolve manufacturing issues.
- Operate a small manufacturing cell : oversee up to three CNC machines and directly manage one operator.
