What you would own
- Edit & Optimize G-Code: Edit G&M codes and optimize program paths directly at the controller to safely machine precision components from high-strength steels and alloys.
- Blueprint & GD&T Execution: Interpret complex engineering prints and apply strict Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards to establish optimal operation sequences.
- Conduct first-article inspections using specialized precision metrology tools (bore gauges, micrometers, calipers) to ensure full tolerance compliance.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with design engineers and welding fabrication teams to resolve setup roadblocks, conduct DFM reviews, and optimize workflow efficiency.
- Provide shop floor leadership and mentorship, coaching junior operators on setup techniques, tool selection, and safe cell operation.
What they are looking for
- Demonstrated background executing independent setups on large milling centers and machining close-tolerance, complex workpieces.
- Proficiency with controller-level G&M code editing, unproven program optimization, and GD&T principles.
- Expert problem-solving skills to adjust cutting parameters, evaluate tool wear, and prevent deflection on active runs.
- A solid, progressive work history demonstrating long-term tenure and technical growth with prior employers.
