CNC Lead

The CNC Technical Leader will oversee and guide the technical direction of PAM’s (Precision Waterjet is now Precision Advanced Machining) CNC operations. This role blends engineering strategy with hands-on process leadership — defining tooling standards, evaluating machine lifecycle performance, and supporting programming excellence. It is ideal for a senior-level machinist or programmer who has evolved into technical leadership and thrives on continuous improvement, not people management.

Responsibilities

• Develop and standardize programming and machining processes across the facility
• Define tool families, monitor tool life, and set replacement protocols
• Collaborate with programmers and setup teams to optimize machine performance
• Evaluate and improve machine tolerance and lifecycle management practices
• Guide technical decisions balancing efficiency, quality, and consistency
